I have thoroughly enjoyed my first four weeks at Chef In Scotland, getting to know the chef recruitment process and industry. In a short space of time, I feel I have learnt a lot.
I have been processing CVs, Chasing up references and keeping the database up to date. As new adverts for positions come in , the pin goes on the map and the search on the database begins to ensure that any chefs in the surrounding area or chefs that are looking to relocate are contacted.
It is important to know the needs of the chef and what they are looking for and be able to match them to the numerous positions that come in.
As well as the chef side of the business, collecting the information needed for the positions coming in from the various establishments is a big part. Finding what they require from the chef, the experience required, the level of chef, and making sure all the best qualities of the business are emphasised to make the position as appealing as possible for the chefs looking. Then getting the advert out for chefs to see.
It is making sure these two aspects of the company come together that makes me really enjoy working for Chefs In Scotland and the buzz of getting my first permanent placement and adverts. Here’s to many more to come.
Thank you Johanna and Michael for all your support and I look forward to the future.
