The problem
Nowhere for chefs to build a professional online presence dedicated to helping them find work Recruitment agencies are expensive and don’t allow a personal interaction between employers and chefs Chefs CVs can often be disorganised and irrelevant
![Page 4: Chef Database Overview](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052508/5599413d1a28ab27778b46e8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Catering recruitment agencies haven’t fully utilised the digital age. - Still sift through paper copies of CVs.
Chefs can’t create an attractive online presence - LinkedIn is still very corporate.
Job advert sites, such as hospitalitycareersnetwork.com and caterer.com are unattractive, bland and time consuming
Industry stuck in ‘analogue’ mode
