Confidential multi-hire programme | United States | Global ingredients business
Overview
Laborare Group was engaged to deliver a confidential, 10-appointment commercial and leadership build-out across the United States for a global ingredients business.
The programme supported the launch of new product lines into the US market and formed part of a broader international growth strategy.
Rather than recruiting for individual vacancies in isolation, the assignment required the development of a connected commercial and technical structure across North America, spanning multiple functions, product verticals and geographic territories.
The Challenge
The client was entering a critical phase of expansion, introducing new product lines and strengthening commercial leadership across Personal Care, Food and Pharma & Nutraceuticals.
The complexity was increased by the need to build senior leadership and supporting teams simultaneously, engage predominantly passive candidates and maintain complete confidentiality throughout the programme.
Our Approach
We conducted detailed market mapping, targeted direct search and coordinated assessments.
All 10 appointments were managed as part of a single programme, ensuring consistency of messaging, alignment across functions and controlled market engagement.
No roles were advertised and all activity was conducted under NDA, with search and candidate engagement managed within US time zones.
The Outcome
All 10 positions were successfully appointed, with every candidate sourced by Laborare Group.
The completed programme provided the client with a strengthened commercial and leadership structure, supporting new product introduction and market development across the United States.
Following the success of the North America build-out, Laborare was awarded further assignments internationally.
SCOPE OF ENGAGEMENT
A Connected Commercial and Leadership Structure

KEY AREAS INCLUDED:
Leadership & Executive Roles
North American Sales Leadership
Marketing

CONFIDENTIALITY & MARKET CONTROL
Protecting the Bigger Picture
Confidentiality was fundamental to the success of this assignment. The client was expanding its North American organisation and visible hiring activity could have signalled its strategic direction to competitors.
No roles were advertised
All candidates were identified and engaged through discreet, targeted search.
Communication was carefully managed throughout, ensuring candidates received the information they needed without exposing the wider scale of the programme.
OUR PERSPECTIVE
More Than Individual Hires
Complex international hiring programmes require a broader perspective. Success depends on understanding how each appointment contributes to the wider commercial objective, where the relevant capability exists in the market, and how to engage passive talent across multiple functions and geographies.
For this assignment, we combined market mapping, direct search and coordinated assessment to deliver a connected team, while maintaining complete confidentiality throughout.
The result was not simply 10 completed searches, but a stronger commercial and leadership structure to support the client’s next stage of growth in North America.
