Chef Agency

Chef Agency’s have extensive experience within the hospitality industry, including hospitality recruitment and they understand the challenges and rewards the industry has to offer and are dedicated to finding the right job for the right chef! They screen hundreds of newly qualified chef candidates annually, looking for chefs that meet the specific criteria such as culinary skills, management experience, specialization in specific dietary needs, and appropriate personality for restaurants, hotels, hospitals and universities.

A chef agency’s services include -

  • assisting their clients with determining specific needs;
  • they conduct initial chef interviews and investigate candidates’ culinary backgrounds
  • they arrange for employment interviews and for optional cooking auditions

Their goal is to provide the hospitality establishment with a well qualified and sometimes experienced chef. The food service is one of the biggest industries in the world. There is significant growth projected for this industry in South Africa, especially over the next few years, and with the Soccer World Cup in 2010 in mind, the need for chefs includes those areas such as sports arenas, cultural institutions, convention facilities, corporate catering and others.

A chef agency ensures that chefs are matched and paired with the most ideal hotels or restaurants or in a specific trade where catering kitchens and banquet facilities can feed thousands of people, because then great emphasis is placed on where the chef received his training, and when these agency’s see the name Prue Leith Chefs Academy on a curriculum vitae, they know that these chefs can cope with volume production experience, organizational skills, and budget management and everything that encompasses what a world class chef is about.

Some of the key positions found for chefs are Executive Chef, Sous Chef, Pastry Chef, Director of Catering, Food and Beverage Director, and Director of Technology.
A chefs agency will help an outstanding chef be discovered, and with a Prue Leith background the world is your oyster as recruiters, headhunters, and employment agencies are always looking for a Prue Leith chef.
