About David McGowan / Founder
Every search is run directly. Never handed down.
When you work with DJM Talent Consulting, you work with me from day one.
Many agencies pitch with a senior director, then quietly pass your brief to a junior resourcer. At DJM there is no junior team. I take the brief, map the market, approach the candidates, assess them and manage the offer, personally.
Every call, every email and every question comes straight to me. Candidates always speak with someone who understands commercial packaging roles, and hiring managers get direct, honest insight on every conversation.

Our story
Why packaging, and why sales?
Packaging touches almost everything we buy, yet it's a specialist world: substrates, print processes, converting and long-standing customer relationships. Generalist recruiters rarely understand it.
The commercial people in this industry are what keep it moving. A great Key Account Manager or Sales Director can transform a business, and finding one takes real knowledge of the market and who's in it.
That's why DJM focuses on one thing: placing commercial talent in packaging, across Europe and the United States.
What we stand for
Four things you can count on.
Focus
One industry, one discipline. Packaging and commercial roles are all we do, that's what makes us useful.
Honesty
Straight answers on the market, on salaries and on candidates, even when it isn't what people want to hear.
Relationships
We think in careers and partnerships, not single placements. Today's candidate is often tomorrow's client.
Reach
A network that spans Europe and the United States, for local hires and cross-border moves alike.
02 / Markets
One network, two continents.
Packaging is global, and so are the careers in it. We help companies hire across borders, support relocations and build teams for new market entry.
Searches across the continent's converting heartlands.
Deep reach into North American converting, CPG and paper & board operations.
