Food and beverage is one of the largest and most dynamic sectors of the Indonesian economy. Producers of packaged foods, dairy, snacks, beverages, coffee and ingredients serve a vast domestic market while managing halal certification, BPOM registration, cold chain logistics and volatile commodity inputs. Meanwhile, restaurant groups and café chains continue to expand across major cities, creating sustained demand for operators who can scale concepts profitably.
As an F&B recruitment agency with executive search and headhunting capability, Talent Hunts Indonesia recruits food and beverage leaders across manufacturing, quality, R&D, commercial and multi-outlet operations. Our recruitment services in Indonesia cover senior executives, technical specialists and mid-level managers.
Because F&B overlaps closely with FMCG and chef and catering recruitment, we draw on adjacent talent pools to find candidates with the right blend of technical depth and commercial drive.
Our Recruitment Approach
F&B hiring requires understanding both the product and the operation behind it. Before we approach candidates, we learn:
- Your product categories, brands and channel mix
- Plant capacity, production technology and automation level
- Food safety, halal and regulatory requirements for the role
- Whether the business is in growth, turnaround or integration mode
- Outlet count and expansion plans for restaurant and café groups
- Key relationships with distributors, modern trade and suppliers
- Team culture and the leadership style that succeeds
We then assess shortlisted candidates through the HUNTS Framework™, evaluating technical competence, track record and stakeholder skills so every recommendation is backed by evidence.
