3. Recruitment
Since its launch in 2004 the business has gone from strength to strength and
AIM Recruitment now operates three separate divisions providing bespoke
services for the UK food manufacturing industry.
We started out as a dedicated provider of high calibre interim managers to the
industry however, as a result of requests from our customers, in 2007 we
introduced a permanent recruitment division, AIM Executives.
More recently we added a consultancy division offering our clients a highly
affordable means of driving operational performance through Lean
Manufacturing achieving sustainable step change improvements in modern
manufacturing productivity.

OUR APPROACH
AIM Recruitment
AIM
We realise that what really matters is matching a candidate who meets the role
requirements with YOU. An in depth vacancy qualification process enables us to
fully understand your true requirements behind the job spec.
Without any fanfare headhunting is an integral part of the AIM recruitment
process; not a last resort. We appreciate our clients want to see new faces in
the recruitment process.
At an early stage of the process candidates are heavily screened. Our high
internal rejection rate means that you will only be presented with the better
candidates.
Our knowledge of YOUR industry ensures candidates are assessed from YOUR
perspective. We focus on achievement driven candidates and ensure they
present themselves through their CV in this light to assist your early assessment
of their capabilities.
Placing a candidate in front of a client is a major deal to us; we are determined
that the experience should be beneficial for both parties and prepare all our
candidates, face to face, to an executive interview standard.
We kiss a lot of frogs so you don’t have to!

7. The quality of AIM interims is crucial; we know exactly the calibre of the
individuals that we are recommending to our clients having worked
alongside many of them in the field.
We maintain a select database and unfortunately have to decline to
represent 80% of applicants who do not reach the standard we require.
Drawing on hands-on food manufacturing experience we have genuine
insight into clients’ business needs and put this to great use to ensure we
provide the right interim solution.
We pride ourselves on offering a cost effective service that adds real value
to the bottom line.
We understand that time is money and we pride ourselves on our rapid
response times thanks to our working knowledge of every interim on the
team.
AIM’s role doesn’t end when the placement is made, we continue to
monitor and review progress to ensure that the partnership is delivering
against both client and interim expectations.

AIM’S STRENGTHS IN THE EXECUTIVE MARKET
Our boutique service ensures your vacancy gets the time and commitment
it deserves.
Our winning combination of extensive hands-on food industry experience
and traditional recruitment means we can identify the best individuals in an
increasingly challenging market.
Through the robust process we undertake with candidates we effectively
become an extension to your HR function adding real value to your
recruitment process.
With KPIs focused on quality not quantity clients can be confident that
careful consideration is given to the relevance of each candidate submitted.
If we are unable to meet your brief we’ll let you know.
We build long term and trusting relationships with clients and provide a
support network for our candidates.

9. AIM
Consultants
We don’t make any apologies for our traditional approach to improving
operational performance because we know it works.
Our partnership approach helps set AIM apart from other food industry
consultancies; quite simply we become part of the factory team, roll our
sleeves up, engage the workforce and make things happen.
Collaborating with our clients we outline the scope of the project, agree
timescales and targets before setting about finding the most effective way
to achieve and sustain them.
Although we believe that AIM Consultants can deliver cost savings to any
food manufacturing environment we are happy to provide clients with a
FREE on site consultation to enable them to judge for themselves.
The average return on investment to date is 5:1.

10. AIM
Recruitment
“Faced with a business losing £16 million a year you have to gain control as quickly as possible, the speed
and efficiency with which AIM was able to source the right people to support our recovery programme
made a real difference. Alan clearly understood the issues and challenges we faced at Minsterley and did
a great job in finding experienced food industry professionals who were able to hit the ground running
and add real value from day one.”
Kevin Green, MD
“We have now used the services of AIM to secure several key roles and have been suitably impressed by
their ability to take a tough brief in terms of timescale and calibre and make it happen - the recent
sourcing of a suitably skilled Italian speaking Operations professional within a matter of weeks was
exemplary.”
Andy Readshaw, Group Operations Director
“Refreshingly honest – Alan’s background in the industry is clearly demonstrated in his consultative
approach to recruitment. His understanding of the food industry and knowledge of the candidates means
the service AIM provides is right on target.”
Caroline Parkes, Human Resources Director
“It is AIM’s partnership approach that really makes them stand out from the crowd. Engaging an AIM
Interim is more than simply filling a role, Alan is always available to discuss developments and, drawing on
his own experiences, provide another perspective on getting the best out of an assignment.”
Alan McKeown, Group Operations Director
