Head of Engineering - Tofoo

Amy Griffith

Amy Griffith

Amy has for several years been an excellent recruiter in the Food Industry. Amy's True North Talent secured for me my latest contract, with excellent communication and understanding throughout the process. Amy's understanding of my own extensive career and the key attributes of the candidate her client required, helped to ensure she connected the right person to the right job.

Interim Project Manager

From a call to a position being secured within 3 days is quite frankly amazing.
Amy Griffith is the one to be in touch with, from start to finish of the process she managed it all, a truly exceptional professional in the recruitment industry but her passion and skills go further than that, thinking about my travel, accommodation, what’s in the location I will be staying in.
Amazing, amazing, amazing. Anyone out there looking for their next position then you would be mad not to get in touch with Amy and TNT.

Interim Project Lead

From the first time I enlisted TNT’s help I was impressed by the way they took the time to listen to what you really needed for your role and how you liked to work. They deliver not only a best in class professional service but also a personalised service that works for, and with, you every step of the way. Whether I am looking for an interim or a permanent role I have only ever had CV’s from them that I instantly want to progress to interview and most often to offer. I don’t hesitate to recommend them for all your recruitment needs.

Head of NPD

I can’t recommend enough how supportive Amy is when we have an interim need. Working late, giving valuable market insight and providing the support I need when filling an urgent vacancy. She’s easy to talk to, down to earth and gets recruitment done. Often she’s supported last minute and communicated past her normal working hours to ensure we’re supported as a business. Her account management and customer service is very strong.

Talent Manager - Campden BRI

I had a fantastic experience working with True North Talent, and I can’t thank Amy Griffith enough for her support throughout the process. From the very first conversation, Amy was professional, proactive, and genuinely invested in finding the right opportunity for me. She kept me informed at every stage and made the entire process seamless. Thanks to her, I’ve secured an exciting role and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend True North Talent to anyone looking for dedicated and knowledgeable recruitment support.

Interim NPD Technologist

I have been working with Amy for many years now and am very pleased her skills have lead her to a path of independence.

She always aligns my skill set to a potential client, she goes to great lengths to find out what the client is looking for and gives me a detailed brief before the interview.

When the client has made a decision on candidate she is very efficient in aligning contracts etc to make sure everything is in place for the start of the assignment.

As a result we have had many successful assignments together and would recommend her and her team to any potential client or interim.

Interim Technical Manager

I have known Amy as a recruiter since 2018, but I can definitely say that since setting up True North Talent with Emma in 2023, they have developed into the No. 1 go-to recruiter.

From the initial conversation, Amy supported me through the whole process with clear and concise communication.

A big thank you to Amy for helping me secure a new Interim role.

Amy goes above and beyond with a personal approach that I would highly recommend to any company or candidate.

Interim Process Development Manager

I have no hesitation when it comes to recommending Amy in her capacity of working with Interims.
I have worked with Amy since 2021 when she supplied me with a Maintenance Manager, Quality Manager and HSE Manager whilst I was a GM.
Throughout the whole process, from screening candidates to putting top candidates in front of me for interviews were first class.
Amy, convinced me also to move in to the Interim world and I haven’t been disappointed.
For anyone looking to take on interims or even move in to the industry, you won’t go wrong using Amy and the True North Team.

Factory Manager

Recruitment at it’s finest, Amy knows the business. Having worked with Amy before I didn’t expect anything less.

Quick chat on availability on the Monday, phone call update on Tuesday, interview an hour later, contract terms agreed, position accepted, travelled on Wednesday, started contract on Thursday.

No fuss, no issues, just outstanding recruitment, long may it continue.

Amy Griffith - True North Talent - professional in every aspect.

Interim Operations Consultant

True North Talent, is an agency which is owned by a person I know well. Amy and her team are dedicated to the candidates & client. It may be a small issue or for some advice, but they are always there with you. The aim for TNT is to provide the best experience for the candidate and their clients needs. I have worked with Amy for over 7 years and I will always go back to her when I finish a contract. Her attention to detail and client and candidate needs are next to nothing that I have seen in my 17 years of being an Interim. Please give them a knock on the door, you will have no regrets.
