I have now been back at Chefs In Scotland for 3 ½ months and I have so far had 6 permanent placements.
My goal is to have at least a dozen placements by the middle of the summer.
Over Easter weekend, we were hammered with adverts and they seemed to be never ending. We were so busy that it was difficult to get a chance to do searches.
Here at the office, there are a number of procedures we go through when doing a search for a job. I am currently dealing with commis chef and chef de partie postions. We use our extensive database which has thousands of chefs on – which we update daily to mark chefs available/unavailable and any information such as what area they would ideally like to work, salary expectations etc. We also use our main trade website to advertise all positions as well as our social media.
In terms of permanent recruitment, you can have a pure advert which is apply directly to yourself or we can do the search for you.
I can help you with any advice on what salary to offer, accommodation queries or any other questions that you may have to ensure the best possible chance of finding you a chef.
I have a list which I update daily of all jobs I will be doing searches for that day and I set aside a part of my day solely to do searches.
As said before, my aim is to increase my permanent placements by at least double.
If you are looking to advertise for any commis chef or chef de partie positions or are looking for us to find a chef for you, please call our office on 0168322830 and I will do my best to help.
We are always looking for new commis chef and chef de partie candidates. If you would like to register with Chefs In Scotland, please email Alannah@chefsinscotland.co.uk and I can get you registered.
