Chef Recruiter - Birmingham

Chef Recruiter (Casual basis)
£15.00 per hour inclusive of holiday pay
Birmingham
2 to 4 days per week.
 
If you have spent years in kitchens and fancy a change of pace, this is a way to stay close to the trade without the section, the heat or the hours.
 
Off To Work is hiring a Chef Recruiter on a casual basis for our Birmingham office. Immediate start.
 
What's on offer

• £15.00 per hour, inclusive of holiday pay
• 2 to 4 days a week, typically 10:00am to 6:00pm, with flexibility
• Office based in Birmingham, no travel to venues
• Casual and ongoing, busiest between now and the end of November
• Full support to learn the recruitment side from scratch

Shifts are heaviest through our busy season to the end of November, then settle to a lighter pattern. Plenty of people pair this with kitchen work.
 
The role

• You will run our chef assessment sessions. Most are held online over Teams, with some in person at the Birmingham office.
• These are group sessions. You talk candidates through who we are, what the work looks like, and ask a set of questions to gauge their experience.
• You will also carry out telephone interviews with chefs applying to join us, and check passports and right to work documents against current legislation. We will train you on that.
• Alongside this you support the day to day running of the recruitment department. Filing, records, keeping candidates moving through the process.
• The chef knowledge is the point. You will be asking a chef de partie about their section and knowing straight away whether the answer stacks up.

What we're looking for

• Chef experience is essential. Chef de partie or above is ideal, though we are open to any level as long as you know kitchens properly.
• You need to be comfortable in front of a group. These sessions are live, the room is full of chefs, and you are the one leading it.
• Organised and accurate matters here too, because the document checks have to be right every time.
• Office or administration experience is useful but not essential. Right to work in the UK on a full time basis is required.

Apply now and we will be in touch this week.
