The FMCG sector moves at speed. High turnover, seasonal peaks, and large frontline workforces make recruitment a constant challenge. graylink helps leading FMCG companies cut through the noise, engage candidates at scale, and fill roles quickly — without losing compliance or control.
The Challenge
FMCG employers face unique hiring pressures:
-
High volumes of applications for entry-level and frontline roles.
-
Seasonal surges that demand rapid hiring in bulk.
-
Distributed workforce with limited access to email or desktop systems.
-
Strict compliance requirements, from labour law to SETA reporting.
-
Retention risks if candidates don’t feel engaged from the start.
Manual processes and outdated systems can’t keep up — slowing down hiring and increasing costs.
