OUR PHILOSOPHIES
The Hastings Group is an executive search firm dedicated to technical positions in the food industry. We handle positions in product development, research, sensory science, quality control, quality assurance, engineering, maintenance, and operations.

The Hastings Group was founded on the principle that every person's job search and every client's employee search should be handled professionally and confidentially. We have established and adhere to strict policies to ensure that both our clients and our candidates are happy, not just with the end result, but with the process. Using a recruiter to find a new employee or a new job should be a positive experience, not a process to be endured.
First,for Our Clients we offer the added advantage of years of experience in our areas of expertise. We will not take on an assignment that we do not understand. Our strength in finding the right candidates for jobs is being able to intelligently discuss the job requirements with the candidate and determine for ourselves if we feel the candidate has the correct credential. We are paid to locate qualified candidates, not just move paper through a system. Also, we do not submit unsolicited resumes in hopes that a position will "open up". Rather, we spend our time doing search and submitting qualified individuals for the positions our clients are actively trying to fill.
For Our Candidates, confidentiality is the number one concern. We operate in a manner that will not jeopardize your current job during the process of finding you a new one. We never tell anyone the names of other contacts or submit your resume anywhere without your permission. The decision to submit a candidate's resume to a client is the result of a discussion between a candidate and one of our recruiters. During that discussion, we will reveal to you everything we know about a position. Unless specifically requested by the client, we will tell you the name of the company and exactly where it is located. Our philosophy is that you, our candidates, are professionals and need all the facts in order to make professional decisions about your career. We will never mass-mail your resume to potential employers.
All fees are paid by our clients and all searches are done on a contingency basis. This means that, as a candidate, there is no expense to you. As a client, there is no expense unless we find you the correct individual for your search. At The Hastings Group, we aren't afraid to take a chance on our performance. We know we'll come through for you!!
