Outstanding opportunity to join a market leading FMCG business in a people focused role
Addressing the short comings found in most traditional recruitment agencies was one of the cornerstones that CTP was built on. Why should you pay for legacy overheads that add little value to solving your needs? We sought about empowering our team to deliver quality to you; not a focus on KPIs & volume. CTP has eliminated the pressure on employees that typically gets generated to pay for the expensive offices, inefficient and outdated systems, managerial staff, and shareholders' increasing demands for profitability.
