About MAVI Partners

A new name. Ten years in the making.

MAVI Partners is an independent FMCG recruitment consultancy founded and run by Sagar Bhardwaj. The company is new. The experience behind it is not.

Sagar Bhardwaj, Founder
“I have spent more than a decade helping FMCG businesses build their teams. Some were among the biggest names in the industry. Others were founder led challenger brands trying to become the next one.”

“What I learned is that recruitment works when the recruiter knows the market, tells the truth and stays involved. It goes wrong when a brief is passed down a chain until the person making the calls has never spoken to the client.”

“I started MAVI so that clients and candidates would deal with one person who is accountable for the outcome. That person is me.”

What MAVI believes

Recruitment works best when five things are present.

Context

Knowing why the role exists, what the business is trying to do and what happened to the last person in the seat.

Trust

Clients who share the real picture get better candidates. Candidates who are told the real picture make better decisions.

Straightforward communication

Regular updates, quick feedback and no disappearing when the news is not good.

Market knowledge

Ten years in one sector, across sales, marketing, supply chain and procurement.

Personal accountability

One name on the door and on every email. If something goes wrong there is no doubt about who to call.

Why founder led

Small on purpose.

In a larger agency the experienced person often wins the work and someone newer delivers it. At MAVI the person you brief does the search.

That limits how many searches can run at once, and Sagar would rather it did. It means each brief is represented in the market by someone who has heard it first hand, and each candidate speaks to someone who can answer their questions about the business.

The name

Why Mavi?

Mavi holds a very special place in Sagar's heart and is made of all of those closest to his journey. It is a reminder of the standard the business is held to: the one you would keep for family.

Where

Based in London, recruiting globally.

Most of MAVI's work is with UK FMCG businesses, across office based, hybrid and remote roles.
