One of the most common requests from Food Safety professionals is "How can I assess a company's Food Safety culture BEFORE I take a job with a company?"

The most common refrain we hear from individuals who spent less than 6 months at a company in a Food Safety leadership role is that company representatives painted a picture of the company's food safety culture that was dramatically different than when they come on board. What's worse is that in some instances, the person was hired to transform that culture!"

In this episode of Food for Thought, Bob Pudlock, President of Gulf Stream Search, discusses different ways how to assess a company's food safety culture and how you can mitigate your risk of a bad career decision.

About Gulf Stream Search

Gulf Stream Search specializes in the placement of top Food Safety and Quality Assurance talent with companies in the food, beverage, ingredient and flavor industry.

Hiring a Food Safety executive can be challenging for ANY company but hiring a Vice President of Food Safety for a company in growth mode can be especially daunting.

In August, 2018, Gulf Stream Search was engaged to recruit a Vice President of Food Safety for a half-billion dollar privately-held food manufacturer that recently completed a massive round of funding.

Gulf Stream Search specializes in recruiting Food Safety talent for food and beverage companies, so it was a logical fit.

In Field Notes Episode 1, learn how the search strategy was developed, how the final selection of candidates was evaluated and the final results.

My name is Bob Pudlock and I'm your host for today's episode of our Be Iconic™ podcast and video series.

In our Be Iconic™ series, we profile talented and influential people in our network that have unique skill sets, perspective and experience to share with you the listener.

So what brings us together today?  Today, it’s all about Food Safety.

Rick Biros, President, Publisher and Founder of Innovative Publishing Co., is going to join me over the next couple episodes here to discuss a number of things, but mostly to dive in deep to discuss the upcoming Food Safety Consortium October 1st through the 3rd in Chicago.  

In this episode,  You’re going to hear directly from Rick what he has in store for everyone in October at the Food Safety Consortium and I think you’ll agree with me that it will be a can’t miss event for Food Safety professionals and anyone that has a vested interest in the space - why it makes business sense to attend, why it makes personal sense to attend and we’ll talk about the really exciting group of Food Safety subject matter experts that he and his team have put together for the attendees.

In Episode 4 of our Be Iconic™ series with Rick, Rick's going to discuss why the show and schedule has been set up to maximize networking opportunities for all attendees.  He'll dive in more on the Cannabis Quality Expo and Conference that will be held at the same time.  He'll wrap up his thoughts on the whole event and the experience he's looking to deliver for all attendees.

In Episode 3 of our Be Iconic™ series with Rick, Rick's going to discuss the speaker lineup, educational and training opportunities that he's lined up for the Food Safety Consortium.  He'll also discuss the Cannabis Quality Expo and Conference that will be running concurrently and at the same location as the Food Safety Consortium.  With the convergence of CBD products and innovation with the food and beverage industry, lining the two events up side by side makes practical sense.
