ASTUTE’s Manufacturing Division has a superb reputation for Service Delivery, across a range of sectors including; Pharmaceuticals, Medical Device, FMCG, Aerospace and Marine. We’ve built a great team of Recruitment Consultants, with a proven track record of supply within Manufacturing. These Consultants understand the sector you operate within, your business needs, and provide high calibre recruitment solutions.
Our Consultants have extensive experience as Preferred Agents to Manufacturers, both large and small. We work closely with clients who value our service, and use us time after time. A good Recruitment Consultant makes the client’s life easier, which is why we’ve deliberately attracted only the best Consultants to work for Astute.
Our projects within Manufacturing range in size and complexity. One of our Consultants has been a preferred supplier to a global Pharmaceutical Manufacturer, with a remit to supply over 100 Chemists, Biologists and Engineering Maintenance Fitters during 2007. Equally important to ASTUTE was the assistance we gave a smaller Electronics Manufacturer who re-aligned their business plan, to focus on bespoke, higher value product development. We successfully sourced an Electronics Design Engineer, and a CAD Design Engineer, to allow the business to prosper.
