I have now been back at the Chefs In Scotland offices for 4 weeks and have found myself getting back into the swing of things in regards to sourcing chefs for all over Scotland. I have found that when any positions are being registered in places such as Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen area etc – the candidates are coming flooding in. The amount of interest in working in the cities is a considerable amount. The amount of applications we get for the more rural areas in Scotland is considerably less. I myself being born and bred on the Isle of Harris, can understand that living and working in rural areas isn’t everyone’s idea of where they would like to work. We get a lot of jobs registered in rural areas and find that there is always positions available in these areas. When I am doing a search on the database for a rural area – at times there are very few candidates that would like to be placed in that kind of location which can be frustrating (especially on a day like today when it’s only lunchtime and my printer has broken down!) yet I have still managed to get 4 CVS out for rural areas and 2 adverts. What is everyone’s thoughts on working in rural areas? Do you currently work in a rural location and can’t imagine working in a city?
