Chefs and managers who fit the property, and stay.

Finding good people is hard. Finding ones who thrive on a private island, or in a small property a long way from anywhere, is a different job entirely. It is the one we do.

What we do

  1. /001/

    How it works

    /001/ Search. We draw on a network built over 24 years, mostly across Europe, for people who have worked in high end and remote properties and have the temperament for them.

    /002/ Vetting. Every candidate is assessed beyond technical skill: how they would cope with no back-up, no easy substitutions, and guests who have no tolerance for an off night.

    /003/ Placement. We handle the documents, travel and compliance across countries. You receive a shortlist chosen for your property, your style of service and your guests.

  2. /002/

    For owners

    A shortlist, not a pile of applications. Chefs and managers who suit the setting, the size of the property, the food and the complexity of the service.

    A commission is charged to the employer on successful placement only. No placement, no fee.

  3. /003/

    For candidates

    Well paid roles in remarkable places, and often hard to find. The service is free to candidates. Always.

  4. /004/

    Roles we place

    Head chefs and sous chefs. General managers, operations managers and food and beverage managers. Other senior kitchen and front of house roles.

  5. /005/

    Where we place

    Private island resorts. Single property settings where the kitchen is often the only place to eat. Precision and self-sufficiency matter, and there is no calling in a replacement at short notice.

    Boutique hotels and resorts. Properties where food and drink are central to the stay, often remote, where finding and keeping good people is a constant and expensive problem.

    Keeping them. Once someone is in post, our Hospitality operations service can coach and develop them.
