Our London Client & Candidate FAQs

Chef Recruitment in London – FAQs

Here are a few FAQs regarding Head Chef recruitment

What types of Head Chefs do you have on your system

We have a wide range of Head chefs from across London and all types of kitchens. 

Is it just permanent Head Chefs you cover?

Yes. We focus only on permanent recruitment. This allows us to match candidates and clients more effectively for long-term success.There are two types of agencies, some are more focused on Temp work and others (like us) are focused on permanent positions. Prior to 2019 we did cover both HOWEVER we found it is not possible to deliver a great service doing both & you reduce your service delivery. This is why in 2019 we decided to focus only on permanent Chefs 

Can you offer sponsorship

Currently, we are not working with any clients who have a sponsorship license; all candidates must have the right to work in the UK. If a company can offer sponsorship, this will always be listed on the advert however currently no client can. 

How quick can you find me a head chef?

As long as a client is paying market rates or above for the head chef role, we normally can get a range of CV’s within the week.
