• Hands-On Expertise: Recruiters mainly focus on candidates who can showcase hands-on experience; whatever the scenario! be it you handled a team, worked in a food manufacturing unit, or handled food safety in production facilities - your experience in the industry is invaluable. 
• The Flavour of Compliance: Safety First! Understanding the standards and regulations of food safety is another prominent aspect which recruiters look for in a candidate. Candidates who are well-versed in HACCP, FDA regulations and other standards are a perfect fit.
