Really Fast Catering Recruitment

Getting time to recruit at busy times is tricky. If you work in the catering trade that is likely to be when you have to do most of your recruiting.

The nature of the catering trade is that you experience both quite as well as busy times. During quiet times, you do not really need many staff. However, the moment you secure a large contract you need to be able to recruit a team. Usually you are also busy working out the logistics of the job and finalising the details with clients. The last thing you really need is to have to go through a long-winded recruitment process.

In years gone by you would have had little choice but to do so. As a result, you would have occasionally found yourself turning down last minute jobs. Recruiting by placing an advert in the trade press or a newspaper took at least three weeks from start to finish.

Fortunately, these days there is an alternative and that is to use the web. If you advertise in the right places, you can often find the staff that you need in less than two weeks. Importantly, much of the recruitment process is hands off, so is not at all time consuming.

Using an Online Recruitment Agency

All you need to do is to find a firm that specialises in catering recruitment. Ideally, you need a recruitment agency whose website appears high in the web results. Agencies that appear on page one of Google will automatically get more visitors, which means that your job advert should be seen by more people and be seen quickly.

To use an online recruitment agency all you need to do is to take the time to fill out their online form. You can usually do this in less than 10 minutes. You then pay the fee and wait for applicants to contact you. If you need people quickly you can skip the advertising part. Most agencies will give you a list of people who are qualified for the roles you are trying to fill when asked to do so. They usually charge a bit more for this service, but in some situations it is the best option.
