How recruiters can be sure of a high standard of chef
Here at Chefs Jobs UK, we thoroughly check the references of every single chef we work with, and even perform DBS checks if necessary. We brief all of our chefs beforehand to ensure they understand and adhere to our strict quality and etiquette standards, so they are aware not only of what they can expect from us, but also what the company they will be working for expects from them. More often than not, the recruiters we work with will request that the same chefs come back to their establishment, even on a part-time basis, as they know they’re getting a professional chef with extremely high standards. The chef in question is already aware of how their kitchen works, and can settle back in straight away, producing top quality food from the off.
What sort of requests these recruiters have
Recruiters will often contact us at Chefs Jobs UK in an emergency, such as an urgent requirement to fill a position due to sickness or holiday leave, or if they experience a sudden upturn in business and need the extra hands. Sometimes these absences are unforeseen, which means the restaurant requires a chef on the very same day that they call us. This means that we have to work quickly and efficiently in order to place the right chef in the right establishment. We will also experience an influx of requests during the summer season of each year where they need extra people to fill demand, and will then fall back on their own full-time staff during quieter periods.
