Company
Caselton Clark was founded 10 years ago by Mike South. As Head of On-Trade at Red Bull he found that agencies didn’t understand his needs and didn’t listen when he explained them. They were just interested in meeting their output KPI’s.
So he decided to start an agency that work in partnership with their clients and send just 2-3 qualified candidates where the fit is perfect for both parties.
The team at Caselton Clark are different. They all have FMCG backgrounds so they understand the roles they work on and never suggest candidates until they’ve found the perfect fit.
We’d rather focus on the top candidates and the best roles than try to work with everybody. We take pride in really understanding what you want and having the industry knowledge to find it.
