Finding Mission Driven Talent in the Natural Foods Industry

In the natural foods industry, hiring is about more than filling a role. It is about finding people who share your company’s mission, understand your consumers, and bring the expertise to scale your business effectively. At Consumer Connection, we take a specialized recruiting approach designed to connect purpose driven professionals with brands that are building a healthier future.


The Hidden Advantage of Passive Talent


The best candidates are often not actively job hunting. They are high performers succeeding in their current roles but open to the right opportunity when the mission resonates. These are the people who want to make an impact, not just take a position. Our network allows us to reach them.


The Consumer Connection Recruiting Advantage


Our focus on the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry, and particularly the natural foods space, gives us a unique edge. We work with clients across natural, conventional, mass, club, foodservice, and alternate channels, all of whom share a commitment to sustainability, health, and integrity. We stay connected to the community through major industry events like Expo West, where we maintain strong relationships with investors, founders, and executives who trust us to represent their brand and values.

We understand ingredient sourcing, sustainability standards, and retail distribution challenges that define success in this market. With over 25 years of experience, we have built a powerful network of leaders and innovators who have scaled purpose driven brands from early stage to national growth.


We know that culture fit is everything. That is why our searches go beyond resumes and job descriptions to identify professionals who truly connect with your mission. Our process is precise and efficient, designed to deliver highly qualified candidates quickly so your business continues to move forward.


The Network You Gain


Our relationships lead us to candidates who are motivated by purpose and excited about contributing to meaningful brands. They include professionals with corporate discipline and entrepreneurial agility, builders who have taken natural foods companies from startup to 100M in revenue, and hands on operators ready to roll up their sleeves. Every candidate we present understands that values alignment and culture fit are the foundation of long term success.
