We take it personally
Inproe revolves around people and relationships, and this lasts beyond just the working week. If we’ve had a conversation with you, it’s more than likely you’ll be on our minds over the years to come.
Neil Smith, Consulting Partner
Inproe was launched in 2013 by Consulting Partner Neil Smith, with the aim of creating partnerships free from the rigid recruitment processes that leave clients and candidates feeling like little more than anonymous bit-players.
We believe that working together is the key to long-lasting and fruitful recruitment, and our mission is to make our partners in the ingredients industry feel valued, supported and listened to. We are passionate about identifying skilled, experienced professionals who not only can do your job but want to do your job, and are thrilled to work for your company. We don’t offer quick fixes and algorithm solutions; we provide bespoke, personal recruitment for long-term gain, on both sides of the search.
It’s about people, not processes
There may be rigid parameters in the industry but when placing people we leave room for a more organic approach. Opening ourselves up to insight and instinct has produced remarkable results time and time again.

“Neil only provides the most relevant candidates, but at the same time he manages to successfully challenge what good looks like for us - adding to our diversity. ”
A word from Neil Smith, Consulting Partner
I’ve been recruiting in the Ingredients Industries for over 20 years now, and it still fascinates me.
I’m naturally curious and have always been keen to understand what’s behind the world we consume, so, after graduating in cultural studies and starting my recruiting career in food and beverage, I can’t help thinking specialising in Ingredients was inevitable. I have a keen interest in sustainable living and for me the very best of the ingredients industries – applying science to nature and harnessing its qualities for creative application – embodies this sentiment on a commercial scale.
I passionately believe that there are standard bearers to be found in the industry, pioneers working for the benefit of people, and that the innovation we see is not only compatible with nature but essential to it. I set up Inproe to help in this fundamental progression, providing innovations driven, progressive companies and individuals with personalised recruitment practices that would help to attract creative, passionate and original minds.
