CPGjobs Comments and Testimonials

CPGjobs TestimonialsHere’s a sampling of some of the comments we have received from candidates and clients about CPGjobs.


“CPGjoblist is a fantastic resource that I recommend to everyone who is searching for a new job in the CPG industry. And the opportunities are even greater than you know.  I landed a job at my current employer because of a posting on CPGjoblist.  I applied for a posted position and was contacted, phone screened and invited to interview in person.  At the interview the company decided that I was an even better fit for a new position that they were just creating so I ended up with an offer for that new job!  I would have never gotten in the door without CPG joblist.  It is a trusted resource that recruiters at my current employer highly value.” – K. Kohlstuck

 

“As corporate human resources recruiter for Hearthside Food Solutions, LLC., I learned about CPJ jobs from a colleague.  Naturally a skeptic, I’ve had lots of “recommendations” from many folks; most with disappointing results.  On his insistence, we signed up for one ad on CPG jobs.  Amazingly, our first ad produced over 120 resumes and we subsequently interviewed and hired an excellent, qualified candidate from our CPG respondents.  We were so impressed, we purchased a years worth of unlimited ads at a great price.  I would recommend to anyone looking for food-experienced candidates, especially those in marketing, to give CPG a try; you won’t be disappointed.” –  M. Lambregtse

 

“CPGJobList.com is the go-to site for my career search needs.  They partner with the top companies in the industry, provide great descriptions, and provide a site that’s easy to navigate.  They are truly the one-stop for your next career search.” – C. Edmonson

 

“I have had the pleasure of working Michael Carrillo and his team for some time now. As a Talent Management professional I have come across many services that commit they will yield results and then do not deliver. I was so pleased to see that Michael’s team not only gets the desired results, but they go way above and beyond in making sure there is value associated with every dollar I spend. I am not just another number, I am a partner, and I am treated as such. I have never been disappointed with the results I have received in working with Michael and have witnessed the business grow and adjust to client and hiring community demands with better services and more options. I would recommend Michael and CPGjobs to anyone looking to truly develop a long lasting partnership.” - L. Lutton

 

“I recently met with two friends of mine – from completely different circles – and each one of them independently recommended CPGjoblist (unsolicited). I always get a chuckle out of that and take pleasure relaying the story of “I knew them at the beginning”. I’m once again in search mode, so I’ve certainly been looking at the site, though my focus is more on brand licensing opportunities. I’m really impressed how the site has continued to develop and expand its reach and offerings, and I just wanted to touch base and congratulate you and Michael. After all of the hard work you both have put into it (and continue to do so), you certainly deserve the resulting success.” – R. Goldman

 

“I wanted to let you know of the great success we had as a result of our posting on the CPGjoblist. We found a number of terrific candidates for our Director of Trade Marketing opportunity. Subsequently we hired a very qualified candidate saving us thousands in recruiting fees.” - M. Della Selva

 

“I found CPG joblist as a convenient and easy way to hunt for jobs that were relevant to my experience and salary needs.  I got my current job thru CPG joblist and it worked out great.” - A. Houihan
“About a month ago you helped me get my application to the proper place when I had a problem with the website. This was in regard to the Analytical Chemist position at Cadbury in Whippany, NJ. I got the job and I thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my e-mail. I interviewed last week and was made an offer on Friday. They gave me the salary I asked for and I am very happy to be given this opportunity at such a great company. Thanks again Penny and thumbs up to CPG Jobs”. – E. Brontee

 

“CPGjoblist is a great way to get a condensed overview of jobs in the area.  It’s one stop shopping for an easy search.” –  L.Chiu

 

“I continued to be impressed by the goodwill and ethical approach that you and your team bring to the talent industry.  It shows in the caliber of talent you attract and relationships you build.” - A. Guido

    Responsive to the CPG communities needs!!

      I sent negative feedback to the site regarding some of the recent changes on the site.  Within 24 hours, Michael Carrillo called me to discuss my comments.  He gave me some suggestions (upgrade my firefox) that gave me back the view that I  preferred.

    We also had a great conversation on his vision for cpgjoblist and the positive changes underway now.  I shared with him a recent experience.  I found a job I loved on cpgjoblist and submitted my resume.  I then checked out the company on LinkedIn and found a 2nd degree connection.  Reached out to that person, who put me in touch with an employee at the company.  She and I had met once before.   She passed along my information to the HR department.  Less than 24 hours later, I had my first phone interview.  The power of networking, coupled with the job opportunities on cpgjoblist, have opened a new opportunity for me.  Thanks Michael and cpgjoblist!!  -LMK

      You are so welcome, and we are working on getting the job board fixed for the WordPress platform. We really want to keep it as easy and functional as before. Also, it is people like you who are helping to make this a flourishing and growing CPG community. The way you networked using a combination of checking in the right pond for a real job with CPGjoblist and then networking, in this case with your contacts on LinkedIn shows the power of this community.

      Thank you for participating and helping all of us grow,

      Michael

    I have had the pleasure working with Michael Carillo and his team.  Michael is completely approachable, and I have found him to be my go-to person more than once in the last couple of months.  I’d been a part of CPGJoblist since 2008, but never really took the time or saw the benefits of what it means to be a paid member.  I think those $40 is some of the wisest money spent.  Thanks to the kind folks at CPGJoblist!

        Wanted to share some splendid news with the fine people at CPGJoblist… I have landed the perfect new role at the perfect company for me!  I am the newest member of the Sales Team at Annie’s Inc. — we sell organic mac n cheese, sweet and savory snacks, cookies, cereals, dressings, and condiments.  I am so proud to be a part of such a transparent and ethical company, where I feel that I can live my principles 24 hours a day and seven days a week! 

        Thank you for helping me get to HR with the network you have established.  This was the longest hiring process I ever been through, but every minute was worth it.  I am so happy to be at Annie’s!  A big shout out to the CPGPeople team!

        I hope others find their way to you too.  I highly recommend the expertise of CPGJob;list and CPGPeople to all new job seekers and those who may be exploring.

    As I found myself recently out of work, CPG Jobs became the go to site for a view on the possibilities in the industry.  With my membership, I was able to gain insight and advice from Michael Carillo and landed my first phone interview of this search journey.  No decision yet from the interview but it was a first positive step taken with the guidance of the CPG jobs team.   Thanks to Michael and Team — and I will continue to utilize the resources on the site as well as recommend to colleagues!

      Thank you for your wonderful comment. The first step is our candidates with their paid membership to actually contact us. I am glad you did and that I was able to help you. Please feel free to share with us any time.

    I can’t seem to filter the job search to just northeast Ohio and it makes it very difficult to review job alerts. any suggestions? Thanks, Sage

      Our job alerts do not have a filter system but the job board does. We are updating our filtering system. On the premium plan we now have zip code search and will be expanding that. The best way for now is to sort by state. Also if you sort by job category on the job board there should not be that many jobs to search through. Hope to have more filtering soon. Just need the $$$.

Be sure to keep everyone else on the internet informed about the need to boycott MillerCoors and let them know Wisconsin is CLOSED for this business.
