Case Study: Foodmach achieves a 100% fill rate for its regional team with Six Degrees Executive

Foodmach fills 100% of regional roles with Six Degrees Executive

Six Degrees Executive partnered with Foodmach, an Australian automation and packaging equipment manufacturer, to help them build a regional team in Echuca. The challenge was to find senior and specialist leaders across engineering, operations, sales, and finance who were a precise technical and cultural fit and willing to relocate to a regional area. This had to be accomplished discreetly over the Christmas hiring window in a tight-knit, shallow talent market.

The solution implemented by Six Degrees Executive involved a targeted search strategy that prioritized cultural fit and specific industry experience over job titles, using direct headhunting and blind advertising. This approach resulted in a 100% fill rate for the initial program, with key appointments including an Operations Manager and a General Manager of Sales. The successful hires positioned Foodmach to meet its commercial targets and pursue new business, leading to a continued partnership for four additional roles.
