Updates Price List - 2025

Chefs In Scotland has always been upfront about their pricing. We’ve had a discussion and considered the struggles that the hospitality industry is facing. In light of this we’ve restructured our pricing; All fees for permanent placement have now been halved from their 2024 values.

Permanent Placements

We are happy to try to undertake permanent recruitment taking a “fee of interest” up front which costs the same as an advert. The “fee of interest” is then deducted from any permanent recruitment fee as below.

Commis chef - £400 plus V.A.T.

Chef de Partie - £750 plus V.A.T.

Breakfast Chef - £500 plus V.A.T

Pastry Chef - £750 plus V.A.T.

Sous Chef - £750 plus V.A.T.

Head Chef - £1000 plus V.A.T.

Seasonal Head Chef £750 plus V.A.T. (expected to last 8 months or less)

As we are mainly a chef recruitment agency if you post a chef advert we will post a front of house or kitchen porter advert for free.
