Testimonials
“Bristol Associates is my go-to firm for all manager level and higher recruiting needs in the food / bev space. The food & beverage manufacturing team takes the time to learn about my company and the position as well as the subtleties that determine fit within the culture. I am grateful for their patience, as we have a stringent recruiting process, and that has led to more protracted searches than either of us would prefer. But the investment in the relationship has yielded some outstanding candidates. Most recently, we took months to look for a planning / purchasing manager, and they nailed it with the perfect person that brought skill, experience, worth ethic, and cultural fit all within our budget for the position.”

“We hired Bristol Associates to help us fill a Director of Sales and HR Manager position. Long term successful talent acquisition requires a strong match for both the team hiring and a candidate’s motivations. Bristol Associates did a great job accurately sharing our employee value proposition and was committed to finding a great match for all involved. I’ve worked with several staffing agencies over the years, some of which have lost interest in hard to fill roles. Bristol’s team stayed committed to the search regardless of the difficulty and advised appropriately to what their team saw in the market so our hiring team could adjust expectations. Bristol brings strong market knowledge, collaboration, and dedication to the hiring process.”
