CPGjobs is a talent network exclusively for the Consumer Packaged Goods Industry.

CPGjobs is the #1 career network for professionals in CPG – and we offer much more to candidates than a job board.

We believe that the use of  industry-specific niche sites like CPGjobs for career management is but one of the job search tools in your arsenal, and you must choose the “company you keep” wisely.

Here are some of the benefits “beyond the board” that CPGjobs offers:

You Control Access

When you register your profile on CPGjobs, YOU control which companies have access to your paperwork. We do not sell candidate lists to our client companies for any price.

We Only Advertise Live Searches

CPGjobs NEVER “scrapes” other job boards for positions and we have a live team of people that double check every single position posted on our site to ensure that it is a live, active search.

We Offer Candidates Exceptional Networking Opportunities

CPGjobs manages one of the most successful Professional Groups on LinkedIn called CPGpeople. This Group has a membership of over 25,000 CPG professionals just like yourself, looking to connect and share information. We highly recommend that you join this group immediately upon registration at CPGjobs.

The CPGjobs Blog is a great way to engage with the CPG Community – you can even cross post your own blog content right here! Give us a call to find out how to get started!

We also encourage you to follow CPGjobs on Twitter at @cpgpeople and Like our Facebook Page to keep up to date with events and special offers exclusively for the CPGjobs community.

We  Offer Candidates Increased Exposure

CPGjobs Premium Members are eligible to have their candidacy featured in a way you won’t find anywhere else. A Featured Candidate post is a feature story about you, your background and experience, accomplishments, and more that is published on our blog and tweeted through the most popular recruitment hashtags on Twitter. We also introduce you personally to our CPG-Recruiters community on LinkedIn, a group of more that 500 recruiters working specifically on searches in the Consumer Packaged Goods Industry.

We Get Your Resume Seen – Ahead of the Pack!

CPGjobs Premium Members are also eligible to receive personalized service from our experienced staff. We have long-established personal relationships with our clients. When you see a position advertised with us for which you are perfect, give us a call. We will discuss the job with you, and if indeed you meet all the qualifications we will personally make an introduction to the hiring company for you ensuring that your paperwork gets seen ahead of the pack. Currently, an average job posting receives 260 applications for every 1 position to be filled. Going to the “head of the line” can be invaluable towards taking your application to the next step.

We Offer Personalized Service

Sometimes just getting seen is the biggest challenge in job search.

Many of the employers you see on CPGjobs have been advertising their positions with us since we opened for business. They have come to expect “the best of the best” in CPG-experienced candidates from us. We have close relationships with many of them and this enables us to make recommendations based on our assessment of your skills and qualifications.

Premium Members of CPGjoblist can give us a call at 626-535-0143 to discuss their application to any position on the site. We will go through the necessary qualifications for the position with you, discuss your background and experience, etc.

If you are a great fit for the position, we will personally contact the recruiter or hiring manager on your behalf and send them your paperwork directly. This is an incredible benefit for candidates as there are hundreds of applications for each position posted – many of whom may not have your qualifications.

While we can’t get you the job, we can certainly increase your chances of being seen!

As a Featured Candidate, take advantage of your chance to shine!

Featured Candidates are the subject of blog posts that focus on you, your professional experience, background, and ability to communicate.

Your Featured Candidate post is featured on the CPGjobs Blog, in our CPGpeople Twitter community and in CPG-Recruiters on LinkedIn – our professional group of 800+ CPG recruiters. This provides your candidacy with increased exposure to connections you may not otherwise reach.

The Candidate Spotlight is composed around a series of questions regarding your background, management style, professional capabilities and more.

All Premium Members of CPGjoblist are eligible to be a Candidate Spotlight. If you are interested, simply contact us at 626-535-0143 or email either Tacy Torres or Penny Sallberg.

We’ll get you started right away!

With CPGjobs, YOU are in control of who has access to your personal and professional information.

We understand how important privacy is when you are searching for a new position.

With CPGjobs, ONLY the companies that you permit to see your Profile can view your information.

You set these preferences from within your Candidate Profile.

When our employers post jobs on our site, they have the option of setting up the process to include application on their own website as well.

Companies do this for a variety of reasons, but in most cases it has to do with maintaining compliance with anti-discrimination laws and information control within their human resources departments.

You may consider simply going to the company’s own website and foregoing your application at CPGjobs. However, be aware that if you do this, we cannot help you with any aspect of your application process.

Our employers monitor the number of applicants that come from CPGjobs and know that we are an excellent source for experienced CPG professionals.

We recommend that you take the time (about 15-20 minutes), to complete your Candidate Profile on CPGjobs, apply through our site and continue to follow the on-screen instructions for completing your application process through the employer’s website if required.

We hate the “Black Hole” as much as you do!

Once you have completed the application process through CPGjobs, it is up to the employer to contact you directly to schedule a phone screen or interview.

If you are a Premium Member of CPGjoblist, you also have the option of giving us a call. We can frequently help bring you paperwork to the attention of the recruiter or hiring manager – especially if you are well qualified for the position – and make an inquiry as to the status of your application on your behalf.

So, you’ve gone into your client admin screen, entered in your job postings, and you’d like to see what they look like for a candidate.  It’s easy!  You don’t have to back out and log in as a candidate, you can do it right from your admin screen.

Click on CPG Joblist in the menu bar.  This will open up a new tab in your browser showing you the job board.  Use the search credentials to select just your company’s listings; once you’ve clicked on “Find Jobs” you’ll see all of your job listings.  You can click on any of the listings to see the full details, just as it will appear to your potential candidates.

To view your resume on your profile you must sign in first with your login and password.  Remember, these are case sensitive.  This will bring you to where you can edit your profile.   Once you have logged in there will be a CANDIDATE PROFILE NAVIGATOR on the right side of the page.  Just scroll down to see the page of information you want to view or change.  The “Edit Profile” page allows you to change anything in your name  (i.e. Going from William to Bill), change your password, correct or change  your email address, and correct or change your phone number.  The “Contact Preference” page allows you to add/change what emails you want to receive from us, to change your address, and add more phone numbers.  The “Education” page allows you to add your degree and schools.  The “Current Status & Compensation” page allows you to put in your Current or last Company and Title and your past Company and Title.  The rest are pretty self explanatory.  The “My Submissions” page allows you to see all of your job submissions.

If you can’t remember your password to log in to our job board, there’s a “forgot” link under the log in fields.  Remember, your login credential may be different from your email address.

NOTE: If you submit a request to have your password sent to you, and you do not receive a timely reply, it is very likely that the email address that we have associated with your account is outdated or incorrect.  We might be sending the password reminder to an old or outdated email address.  Occasionally,  a person may have registered more than once in our system, and the system is confused and doesn’t know which password to give you.  In any event, the best thing to do is give us a call at (626) 535-0143 and we will have a real live human being give it to you.

CPGjobs has made it easier and simpler to create a basic account and start applying to our job postings.  Click on “Job Seekers” to start.

This first page here is the ONLY thing that you are required to complete.  Enter your name, create a login and password, give us your email address and phone number, and you’re done!

While we do recommend that at some point you take the time to complete your CPGjobs profile, as it can expedite the application process and allow you to participate in special opportunities with top CPG companies who want to network with you, it is not required to apply to listings on our job board.
