A brand-new player has entered the retail hiring scene—Switch Roles, a job board built by retail experts for retail professionals. Founded by Zac Clements and Danny Monfea of Zachary Daniels, and Simon Childs of the marketing agency Childsey, the platform has been shaped by decades of combined experience in retail, recruitment, and marketing.
From senior roles at IKEA, BHS, and the Theo Paphitis Retail Group, to leading hiring teams and launching digital campaigns, the founders’ frontline insight ensures Switch Roles directly responds to the retail sector’s most pressing recruitment needs.
Precision in Placement
Switch Roles is built around one simple goal: connecting people to the right positions. It eliminates the guesswork from job searching by offering tailored listings from well-known brands, aligning directly with candidates’ skills, aspirations, and industry experience.
Trusted by Top Employers
Retail giants including Hugo Boss, Lidl, Footasylum, Burger King, Matalan, and American Golf are already using the platform. With over 3,500 listings available at launch, Switch Roles has made an immediate impact and proven itself a serious contender in retail hiring.
A Better Way to Find Work
The platform is designed to be user-first. No more endless scrolling through mismatched roles. Job seekers can search by category, skill, and ambition—cutting through the noise to find the best fit in minutes, not hours.
A Platform Built on Passion and Practicality
The vision behind Switch Roles is backed by deep industry expertise and genuine passion. Zac, Danny, and Simon’s hands-on approach has attracted backing from more than 50 stakeholders across the retail, e-commerce and recruitment ecosystem, demonstrating strong belief in the platform’s long-term potential.
