The CPG landscape is rapidly evolving, with consumer shopping and buying behaviors shifting to online platforms.

I love working with Lock - they find great candidates and make the process easy from start to finish.

Sarah Woods

I’ve had positive experiences working with Lock - initially as a candidate, advancing my own career, and then as a client. The team works to understand the organization’s needs, points of difference, and to develop a strong collaborative partnership. They know their market intimately.

Graeme Blair

I consider the Lock team an extension of our internal talent teams… they know our culture inside and out, they know the market well and are great sounding boards as we think through approaches to resourcing. Mike and team are particularly agile and great at pivoting, calibrating as we go, and they always persevere to hunt down best possible candidate fit.
