How hospitality recruitment works with us
INTAKE (30–45 min): role, rhythm and reality on the floor
We dive into your business: peak hours, table turns, menu style, FO/BO collaboration and team culture. We refine the role (bar/service/kitchen/housekeeping/front office, seniority, languages, dress code, HACCP/Allergen knowledge) and choose the right route: direct search, talent pool or temp-to-perm.
SOURCING & SELECTION: service and kitchen skills first
We actively approach our hospitality network and preselect based on pace, attitude, and professional skills. Think of: tray/service standards, upselling, cash register knowledge; for the kitchen: mise-en-place, preparations, hygiene. References checked, availability clear. In short: less guessing, more certainty.
PROPOSALS: short profiles with relevant context
Per candidate you receive: experience per segment (bistro, fine dining, hotel, events), strengths (e.g., running sections, latte art, garde/cook line), availability/schedule preferences, salary or rate, language level, and our assessment of team fit. Honest, concise, decisiable.
INTERVIEW OR TRIAL DAY: discover the match, don’t guess
We schedule interviews or a trial session during your busiest shift (service/breakfast/lunch/dinner). Candidates receive a briefing (menu, POS, station, dress code). You immediately experience: pace, communication, and quality. Unsure between two? Then we arrange two short trials.
START & ONBOARDING: readying to perform
Contract/agreement (temporary/secondment or no-cure-no-pay), document check and schedules ready. We provide a mini-onboarding: contact person, station allocation, tipping arrangement, safety/HACCP rules, and systems (cash register/FO). Day 1 check-in; evaluation in week 1 and week 4. Not working out? Then we move on.
