ForceBrands – A Leading Strategic Recruiting Firm For Consumer Brands

It’s interesting that most organizations don’t realize the strategic importance of their recruitment function until it is well and truly broken. When you find candidates that match your needs and culture, it harmonizes your goals, helps you to set new objectives and defines the future direction of your organization. It also supports the roadmap to success. Companies need to employ people who will contribute to the objectives set out for the business. Strategic recruitment is an approach that aims to attract the best talent. Aligning the recruitment and selection process with the company’s objectives is a significant factor that drives business success. An effective recruitment and selection policy not only fulfill the requirements of a job, but it also ensures that an organization will maintain its commitment to providing equal opportunities for all employees. Adherence to such a policy will let you hire the best possible candidates.

ForceBrands is the leader in strategic hiring for consumer brands. They offer executive recruiting services and a job board for consumer brand professionals. The firm builds the teams that build the brands. The company has built a fully remote company, with employees across the US that strives to engage with job seekers and employers in a real way— getting to know their strengths, weaknesses, and goals for the future. From day one, they wanted to collaborate with clients as friends and trusted colleagues in the pursuit of transformational goals. Their industry-specific divisions — BevForce, FoodForce, BeautyForce, HerbForce, and PetForce — help employers connect to specialized talent at all levels.

As ForceBrands continues to innovate how talent and brands connect, new products and services have emerged. In 2021, ForceBrands launched goHire, a job board network that enables investment groups and membership organizations to provide their community with a real-time, branded career platform to attract, manage, and hire new talent. Launching in 2022, ForceBrands will introduce Impactful Search, a transformative Executive Search experience that fuels the acceleration of purpose-led companies by engaging and integrating catalytic leaders.

The Ardent Visionary

Josh Wand is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ForceBrands. He is an entrepreneur who creates businesses that power the growth of consumer brands by connecting people, technology, and community.  His entrepreneurial journey began in 2007 when he founded ForceBrands, the leader in strategic hiring for consumer brands that offers a full spectrum of services for recruitment as well as a job board for consumer brand professionals.

Through building consumer businesses, Josh recognized the lack of consistency and data around field activations and agency relations. This led him to launch PINATA in 2016, a task management software platform that optimizes operational field management and data transparency. In 2021, Josh, alongside fellow entrepreneurs, co-founded a specialized venture capital firm, The Family Fund and Founder Community (FFFC) that invests alongside top-tier firms and repeat entrepreneurs.
