Elevate your Hospitality and Restaurant management experience with our tailored assistance. If you're struggling to fill positions within your company, a staffing agency can be a cost-effective and time-saving solution. Staffing agencies have access to a vast network of qualified candidates and can often fill positions quicker than traditional hiring methods. However, simply working with a staffing agency doesn't guarantee success. Here are some tips on how to improve your pipeline when hiring through a staffing agency: Clearly Define Your Needs: Before reaching out to a staffing agency, make sure you have a clear understanding of the role you're hiring for. This includes the required skills, experience, and any other qualifications. Share this information with the staffing agency to ensure they are identifying candidates who meet your specific needs. Create an Attractive Job Description: A well-written job description will attract top talent. Work with the staffing agency to create a compelling job description that showcases your company culture and the benefits of working for your organization. Be Responsive: When a staffing agency presents a candidate for review, respond promptly. If you're interested in the candidate, schedule an interview as soon as possible. This will help prevent the candidate from accepting another job offer while you are still in the interview process. Provide Feedback: After each interview, provide feedback to the staffing agency. This will help them better understand your needs and refine their search for future candidates. Maintain Communication: Stay in touch with the staffing agency throughout the hiring process. Ask for updates on the status of your search and provide any additional information as needed. Working with a staffing agency can be a cost-effective and efficient way to fill open positions. By following these tips, you can improve your pipeline when hiring through a staffing agency and find the right candidate for your organization.

What led you to become a recruitment consultant? ✏️ Transitioning from a chef to a recruitment consultant may seem like a big leap, but for me, it was a natural progression. As a chef, I discovered my talent for recognising and nurturing potential in my team, whether it was a skilled chef or a talented waitress. This passion for talent development led me to a fulfilling career in recruitment. While the transition from culinary arts to recruitment was significant, I found that many of the skills I developed in the kitchen were transferable. The ability to excel under pressure, think quickly, and communicate effectively were valuable in both fields. However, what truly drew me to become a recruitment consultant was the opportunity to assist individuals in finding their ideal career paths and helping companies build strong, skilled teams. I am grateful for the journey that led me to this rewarding point in my career. It's a fulfilling role that allows me to positively influence both candidates and clients. #chef #recruitmentconsult #smallbusinessowner #newbusiness #recruitmentsupport #journey #qanda #gettoknowme #grateful #positivity #candidates #clients #careerpath #strong #skilled #team

There have been many times as a hiring manager that I have been between two equally qualified candidates. While I normally rely on gut instinct to help me ultimately choose, I also have a tried-and-true tie-breaker question: “Have you ever worked in a restaurant?” If one candidate answers yes, they usually get the role. Regardless of whether they liked the work, or quite frankly were even good at it, it doesn’t matter. Anyone who has worked in any type of restaurant has an innate understanding of how important it is to treat others well, be professional even when others aren’t, and how to manage chaos. As someone who has waitressed, I have found time and again there is just no comparable experience to working in food service – whether you did it for one month or ten years. The way people answer this question also provides valuable clues into how they’ll handle certain job situations. The way someone answers this also shows me what kind of scrappiness or creativity someone may have on the job. What are some of your off-the-beaten path interview questions? With hiring and retention being so critical, getting the right fit for an organization out of the gate is such an important business continuity issue. I’m always curious how others work to find the best person for the job. #hiring
