Chef Trial Shifts – 12 Steps To Winning Big

By

As a chef recruiter, I always appreciate when a restaurant offers chef trial shifts to candidates of mine. A chef can showcase their skills while using the event as an opportunity to determine if the restaurant/hotel/caterer is a good fit for them and their career goals. It’s also, equally, an opportunity for a client to “check out the goods” and help them determine if the chef is a good fit for their business and to see how they fit in. Either way the workflow towards chef jobs these days is increasingly likely to encompases trial shifts.

Chef Job Advertising: Expert Tips on Getting it Right!

By

We’ve chewed over the subject of chef job advertising together before, recently I was inspired [translation:enraged] by a chef job ad that encapsulated everything that’s broken about chef attraction strategies in the catering industry. Having fully vented on that episode, this time I’d like to suggest a more positive and constructive approach to the matter, with, hopefully, beneficial results for you i.e. the chef job advertiser. Perhaps a less misleading title for this post would be Chef Job Advertising: why you should at least make an effort, or maybe even, Chef Job Advertising: make me want to work for you.

Recruiting Chefs – The Job Offer Stage

By

When it comes to recruiting chefs the offer is the point where the tire meets the road, with the chef job interview out of the way, it’s the moment of truth and, sadly, it can sometimes go horribly wrong. Both parties, whether chef or employer, can, and do, break some fundamental rules which almost always results in an undesired outcome. We’ll be focusing on employer error in this post. It’s true that not every job offer results in a chef accepting the job, this is no different from any other industry, but in catering and hospitality there seems to be a tendency to play a bit faster, and looser, with important details than in other industries. The result is almost always negative and everyone is left to count the costs in wasted time and money.
