Why Most Recruitment Guarantees Fall Short

You've seen the standard agency offer: a 90-day guarantee, maybe 6 months if you're lucky.
But here's what most recruiters won't tell you: the true test of a leadership hire in food manufacturing doesn't happen in the first quarter. It unfolds over the first full year—through seasonal production peaks, critical audits, NPD launches, and the inevitable challenges that reveal whether someone is truly the right fit.
A Technical Manager might sail through summer but struggle when BRC audit season arrives. An Operations Director could look strong initially but falter when managing the Christmas rush. A Supply Chain Manager might perform well until they face their first supply disruption or price negotiation cycle.
That's why we created Williams365.
Not because we're comfortable with the risk—but because we're confident in our process. We've built our reputation on one principle: we don't place candidates; we forge long-term partnerships between exceptional leaders and forward-thinking food manufacturers.
Williams365 isn't just a guarantee. It's proof that we stand behind every placement, every day, for a full year.

Williams365 vs Industry Standard
See exactly why our guarantee is different
What Happens If... Industry Standard (90 Days) Williams365 (365 Days)
Candidate leaves in month 2 ✅ Covered (replacement provided) ✅ Covered (replacement provided)
Candidate leaves in month 5 ❌ You pay full fee again ✅ Covered (replacement provided)
Candidate leaves in month 9 ❌ You pay full fee again ✅ Covered (replacement provided)
Candidate doesn't fit after peak season ❌ You're exposed to risk ✅ Covered (replacement provided)
Issues emerge after audit period ❌ No protection ✅ Covered (replacement provided)
Candidate leaves during critical project ❌ Start recruitment again (£££) ✅ We handle it at no cost

The difference? 275 additional days of protection.

The value? Complete peace of mind and potential savings of £15,000-30,000+ in re-recruitment costs.

The Hidden Cost of a Short-Term Guarantee

Consider this scenario:

You hire a Factory Manager through an agency with a standard 90-day guarantee. Months 1-3 go smoothly. They pass probation. The guarantee expires.

Then month 6 arrives. The winter production surge hits. Your new Manager struggles with capacity planning. By month 8, it's clear they're not the strategic leader you need. Month 10, they resign.

Lost productivity: 6-10 months of underperformance
