Toy Recruiters: How To Find A Good One

Check our our Toy recruiter services here: https://www.kidsbrandinsight.com/services


Here's the thing - most Toy recruiters are not from the world of Toys. They may have the requisite skills to be a recruiter, but what they don't normally have is a long track record of working in the Toy business and of being both connected to plenty of other Toy people as well as having the necessary insider knowledge of how this industry works to work out which candidates should be put forward to clients and which are likely not suited to the Job.


When we help Toy companies recruit highly qualified staff we are focused on first assessing the applicants and whether they are truly qualified based on having run Toy companies ourselves and knowing a). what experience, knowledge and results really matter b). Identifying any red flags that might make a candidate unsuitable.


So for example, most recruiters will be able to look at someone's Resume/CV and figure out that the applicant has never stayed in a Job for long enough to be a good fit with a Toy company looking to recruit someone for the long term. However, what takes more specialist knowledge is to look at which Retailers a candidate has worked with and fit that to what is required for a client's customer base in the Toy business.


Toy expert recruiters can also ask more in depth and informed decisions of candidates. For example, when recruiting a General Manager for a Toy company recently, we were able to ruthlessly analyse a hypothetical P&L the candidates submitted as part of the application, and then screen out and also prioritise candidates based on the remit from our client. You just don't get that level of service or knowledge from typical Toy recruiters.


Our approach to Toy recruitment can best be summed up as 'Toy people recruiting Toy people for Toy companies.'
