Our candidate process is designed to ensure that we connect you with the best opportunities, whether you’re looking for a temporary or permanent position in the hospitality industry. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Register Your Details

To begin, we need to learn more about you. Simply complete our registration form, providing key details such as your experience, skills, and preferred job roles.

Step 2: Interview and Skills Assessment

Once we have your details, one of our team members will contact you to arrange an interview. This is your opportunity to tell us about your experience, skills, and the types of roles you’re looking for. We’ll also assess your suitability for specific positions within the hospitality sector.

What Happens During the Interview:

  • A face-to-face or virtual interview to understand your background and preferences
  • Discussion of your availability, including preferred shift times and location
  • A skills assessment where applicable, such as for bar staff, general assistants, or kitchen porters
  • We’ll also discuss any relevant certifications, such as food hygiene or first aid, if necessary for the roles you are interested in

Step 3: Background and Reference Checks

After the interview, we’ll carry out essential background checks to verify your credentials. This includes:

  • Right to Work Check: We ensure that you have the legal right to work in the UK.
  • Reference Checks: We’ll contact your previous employers or references to confirm your work history and reliability.
  • Basic DBS Check (where required): For roles that involve vulnerable individuals or sensitive environments, we conduct a basic DBS check.

Our goal is to ensure that you are fully compliant and ready for your next role.

Step 4: Job Match and Placement

Once your application is complete and verified, our recruitment team will match you with available hospitality positions that align with your experience, skills, and preferences.
