FMCG

The first challenge in recruitment and selection in the FMCG industry is the poor relationship between recruiters and hiring managers.

Recruitment Challenges Faced by This Industry:

Sometimes, recruiters have confidence that their candidates are the best fit for the roles while hiring managers don’t agree. Poor relationship between recruiters and hiring managers is the major challenge.

Competition in the FMCG industry continues to heighten as supply chain disruption, and volatile price changes, make securing consumer spend increasingly challenging.

Low pay for new hires. The low pay is the challenge for recruiters in recruitment and selection in the FMCG industry. Such a result could be due to the fact that companies use the budget from the previous employee in that position to find new candidates with higher KSAs.

Unpopular company brand image. Companies with unpopular branding are a challenge in staff recruitment and selection. Such results could mainly be due to the unattractive field of the companies and the newly joined firms in the market which can’t become attractive to applicants.
