Sorry, this company can have each of their employees list 10 chirpy 'positive reviews' on every one of these boards, that's hardly going to offset their SCAM CALLS. If you pick up a business' landline, say "Hello!", and get hung up on, THAT is called a SCAM CALL, because that auto-dialer machine is only looking to leave a voicemail/message. Period.
If you don't want people posting on these boards about your scam calls, stop using an auto-dialer machine! Hardly rocket science, folks . . .
High quality Executive Search firm. Good service. No complaints. The number belongs to FEP Search Group and I'm happy to write a positive review about their service because they helped me find a job at a time when life was getting pretty tough. I got laid off from a mid-sized food company around Jan 2009 and they found my resume after I applied to a job. After 15 years in the CPG / Food industry, I can say that FEP Search Group is probably the best connected group of recruiters I've ever seen in my life. Yes, they're aggressive and yes, they only work with job seekers they know they can actually help - which is good because they don't waste your time.
Short story, FEP Search Group is a good recruiting firm and I would recommend their services to any senior manager who is starting a job search. I don't care what anyone says - just do some proper research and you'll see they are well respected.
Do they have offices across the USA?? I applied to a job they had posted for a Brand Manager via SimplyHired.com and was happy with the FEP Search Group's service. (But I agree I can only speak for the Recruiters in Toronto - if they have other Recruiters in the USA, I have no idea if they are good or not). But what was interesting is, the recruiter from FEP Search Group got me an interview with a snack company in Atlanta - even though the recruiter was in Canada! I don't understand how they did that, but frankly I don't care. They helped me get a job and so I'm happy to come here and write something positive.
As CPG Recruiting firms go, FEP Search Group is great. Just spoke to one of their partners who asked me to come on and document my experience so happy to do that.
I am an Operations and Manufacturing professional who has worked in the diary industry for over 20 years. Most of my career was with HP Hood and Gaylea. I was interested in moving into a VP-level position which is why I sent my resume in to begin with as there was a bit of a ceiling in my last organization.
The job I applied to was on Indeed.com - and it was listed by FEP Search Group as a Senior Director of Operations with a company specializing in whey protein products based in Chicago.
Short story: I agree with some of the 'negative' comments listed on this site: yes, FEP Search Group is hyper-aggressive. Yes, they called me 3x in one day to confirm interviews and follow up. And yes, they are sometimes then hard to reach because they are busy.
But all in all, I am happy I sent my resume in because this firm is damn connected. I did not get the original job offer, but after sending my resume to them, I got calls from 5 different recruiters in the company who introduced me to 5 different positions across the country. I am still interviewing with one of their clients now. The most important thing about any headhunter is that they are connected and networked - and FEP Search Group definitely is. No scam whatsoever.
I sent my resume to FEP Search Group for a Quality Engineering Manager position. It take them a few weeks to get back to me but when they did they helped me a lot to find a good job so it is not scam. They have lots of good contacts in the Quality industry.
