Chef Recruitment from Overseas

“Chefs In Scotland is pleased to announce, that in collaboration with Vira International of India, we are looking to recruit Indian Chefs to work in the UK.

In the mid 2000’s CIS also brought over many quality chefs through Vira International.

Conditions do apply but if they are met, what we found was that the Chefs who came over had excellent training in 4 and 5 star establishments and were stickers, usually remaining in the same place for many years.

Vira International are hugely experienced in this field.

Ideally, you will have the sponsorship license and we will do all the rest.

This is a reasonably costly process but please do contact me for a quote or to discuss the process and or to register your position with us.

Recruitment costs are a percentage of salary and are as follows:

£26,000 to £35,000 is 12%

£35,000 to £50,000 is 13%

The whole process takes on average 12 to 16 weeks depending on how quickly the home office is working.

These positions are from chef de partie upwards and a minimum wage of £26,200 for a 45 hour week will apply.

We will then, with Vira, suggest the best candidate for your position.”

Please feel free to contact me for further information or to talk through your requirements.
