What’s the biggest mistake I’m seeing?

The biggest hiring mistake I’m seeing in the Food, Flavours and Ingredients space right now? Hiring for “like-for-like.”

It feels safe. It feels logical. But will it move the needle?

The most successful placements I’ve made recently weren't the "obvious" choices. They were the candidates who:

- Came from adjacent categories.

- Brought a completely fresh perspective.

- Willingly challenged "the way we’ve always done it."

Those unlikely candidates with transferrable skillsets could be your secret weapon.
