We donate 200 meals for every placement we make.
FareShare is a charity network established in 1994, which aims at relieving food poverty and reducing food waste in the United Kingdom. It does this by obtaining good quality surplus food from the food industry that would otherwise have gone to waste and sending it to frontline charities and community groups across the UK.
Work For Good is a fundraising platform for business donations to charity. We work alongside them to support FareShare, helping to make a positive social impact that our clients and candidates feel great about. Working with True North Talent means you get to give back to your community at the same time.
That’s why, for every placement we make, we pledge to donate 200 meals to those in need. By joining forces with vital charity partners, we make a significant and meaningful impact in our specialist industries.
We know that success should be shared and that together, we can make a difference. Through our dedication to providing outstanding talent solutions, we hope to contribute to a brighter future for our communities.
Together, we can help to give back, one placement and one meal at a time. Contact us today to learn more about our giving back initiatives.

Recruiting for a food production site isn’t the same thing as recruiting for an office, warehouse, or retail team; the hours, compliance requirements, and margin for error are completely differen. For example, a single gap in your rota can stop a line, and the wrong recruitment can have a direct, measurable impact. In this blog, we will cover what actually makes food production recruitment different, and why you need a specialist agency over a generalist.
Packaging used to be somebody else's decision. Marketing wanted shelf stand-out, NPD wanted the barrier properties, procurement wanted the price. Technical checked the declarations, signed it off and moved on to the next thing. That's over. Your packaging specification now carries a per-tonne cost; the size of that cost depends on how recyclable the pack is, and the person who has to evidence the classification works in your technical team.
The new robotic palletiser gets signed off in February and runs beautifully until a Sunday night in May, when it throws a fault nobody on site has seen before. Your shift engineer works through the obvious checks. The OEM's helpline opens at nine on Monday. Two lines are backed up until then, and there's a delivery vehicle booked for six in the morning. That's the gap between bringing in automation and being able to run it. It's also the reason a lot of food manufacturers are getting less out of their capital spend than the business case promised.
