FAQs

  • We have been building our talent network for over 30 years, so in many cases, we already have the ideal candidate within our database.


    Pack Recruiter operates seven days a week, and there have been times when we’ve been contacted about a vacancy on a Friday and presented well-matched candidates by Monday.


    Of course, some roles require additional time and resources to ensure the best fit, and that’s where our extensive industry connections within the print, packaging, and paper sectors come into play

  • Pack Recruiter is the UK’s leading recruitment agency specialising in the packaging, print and paper industries, backed by a wealth of expertise.


    Our deep industry knowledge and strong network connections mean we are aware of many opportunities that aren’t publicly advertised, giving you access to a wider range of vacancies.


    We handle your application process, liaise directly with employers, provide CV feedback, offer interview guidance, and help negotiate salaries when offers are made.

  • For senior roles such as Operations Director or Managing Director, clients are often open to candidates from outside the sector. In these cases, transferable skills, leadership experience, and cultural fit take precedence over industry-specific knowledge.


    However, for technical or client-facing positions such as machine operators or account managers, employers typically prefer candidates with relevant industry experience.

  • Although our offices are based in the UK, our advanced technology and global connections enable us to support recruitment worldwide.


    We have successfully placed candidates in countries such as France, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, and beyond.

  • No, candidates do not pay any fees. The hiring company covers our costs. However, we always prioritise the candidate’s career progression and best interests.

  • There could be several reasons. Some clients have strict requirements, such as a specific level of industry experience, and may only consider candidates who meet those criteria.


    Additionally, based on the information we have about you, we may believe a particular role does not align with your expectations-such as salary level or location.


    If you are unsure, feel free to reach out, and we can clarify. Rest assured, if we can put you forward for a role, we will!

  • Never. We always seek your permission before sharing your details.


    Your CV will only be submitted to an employer after we have discussed the opportunity with you.

  • Absolutely! You can be put forward for multiple roles if they match your experience and career goals.


    If you receive more than one job offer, the final decision will be yours.

  • Many recruitment agencies focus on sales-driven targets-pushing candidates to clients and vice versa to meet quotas. We take a completely different approach.


    Pack Recruiter operates more like a professional advisory firm, similar to accountants or solicitors.


    We don’t have sales targets and never will. Our consultants are industry experts, many of whom have been with us for decades.
    Internal meetings are never about revenue; they are always about delivering the highest level of service.


    Our focus is solely on providing the best possible experience for both candidates and clients.
