Are you struggling to recruit and retain talented and loyal chefs?

If so, you may have had to reduce the opening hours of your kitchens and adjust menus to cope with this situation. And to add to the stress this will have had an impact on sales.

Meanwhile, HR are plugging away with recruitment drives, either in-house, hiring agency chefs or working through a recruitment company.

Unfortunately, with a dwindling pool of chefs these routes aren’t solving your immediate recruitment issues and are expensive, especially when your chef soon leaves for a ‘better opportunity’.

There is an alternative solution – Sponsorship

Understanding the process of Sponsorship

Overseas Sponsorship is proving to be an interesting and viable option for more and more hospitality companies, so why isn’t this method of recruitment being avidly pursued?

In our experience it’s due to:

  • Perceived legal and procedural complexities
  • Cost
  • Timescales

We don’t believe that any of these points are a reason to dismiss Sponsorship as a way of recruiting chefs.

The real problem holding hospitality operators back is lack of knowledge about Sponsorship.

Did you know that you don’t have to hire a lawyer to gain a Sponsorship Licence?

This one fact reduces the perceived cost.

We admit that the process can appear to be complex, however when you’ve been through it a few times, as we have with our clients, submissions can be made correctly the first time.

This fact alone speeds up the application for a Sponsorship Licence.
