Frequently Asked Questions.

How are consumer brands adapting their talent requirements in response to sustainability demands?

Leading companies are hiring sustainability specialists directly into consumer-facing teams rather than isolating them in CSR departments. We're seeing increasing demand for product developers with circular economy expertise, marketing leaders who can authentically communicate sustainability initiatives, and supply chain professionals who can implement transparency measures. The most sought-after candidates demonstrate the ability to balance sustainability improvements with commercial performance, turning eco-friendly practices into competitive advantages through innovative product development and authentic storytelling.

What skills are most critical for retail leadership in today's omnichannel environment?

Today's retail leaders must blend traditional commercial acumen with digital fluency and data-driven decision making. Critical competencies include: experience optimising customer journeys across physical and digital touchpoints; ability to leverage customer data to personalise experiences; understanding of supply chain innovation for rapid fulfillment; and talent for creating compelling in-store experiences that complement online offerings. The most effective retail executives also demonstrate change management capabilities, successfully guiding teams through digital transformation while maintaining operational excellence.

How is the health and wellness sector evolving, and what talent is in highest demand?

The wellness industry continues to expand beyond traditional categories, creating demand for cross-functional expertise. We're seeing particular growth in roles combining scientific credibility with consumer marketing skills, especially professionals who can translate complex nutritional or fitness science into compelling consumer propositions. Digital wellness platforms are recruiting specialists in personalised coaching, AI-driven recommendation engines, and connected device integration. Additionally, there's increasing demand for regulatory specialists who can navigate the complex compliance landscape for health claims across global markets.

What compensation trends are you observing across consumer industries?

We're seeing significant compensation premiums (25-40% above industry averages) for professionals with proven expertise in direct-to-consumer business models, first-party data utilisation, and successful sustainability initiatives. Companies are increasingly offering performance-based incentives tied to specific customer metrics rather than purely financial targets. For technology roles within consumer businesses, competitive packages now frequently include equity components to compete with pure technology companies. Remote work flexibility has become a standard offering, while companies with in-office requirements are increasing base compensation to attract top talent.
