Let's fix the system together
The Problem with Traditional Hospitality Recruitment
Finding and hiring reliable chefs and hospitality staff shouldn't be stressful or expensive. But the traditional model — pay-per-placement, limited visibility, ever growing commissions and credit note systems is simply not working anymore!
Expensive commissions that don't work for your business !
With a U.K average placment fee of a chef being £3500+ and candidate service length around a year, can your business actually affor to recruit a chef? With us you can
All agencies are fishing from the same pond
The system is broken, heres the inside scoop, all agencies are fishing from the same pond, its just a matter of who gets the candidate first! if thats the case, you might as well make the saving with us
Hard to stomach rebates
We all know that the credit note system doesn't work, this system just ties you on an ongoing basis to to a chef agency that simply hasn't performed.
