I started my career as a relief chef only a few months ago after years of working in numerous kitchens and always wanting to take the leap into agency work. Joining Perfect recruitment made that decision a decision I couldn't regret. The process of joining was so friendly and welcoming and I couldn't wait to get started. Since then Alex, Emily and Liz have been nothing but helpful and are always on the other end of the phone if I ever have a query. I have thoroughly enjoyed the bookings I've had so far and I'm looking forward to having many more in the future.

I have been with perfect recruitment since December 2015 as a relief chef apart from a 2 year break just after COVID. Always plenty of work and I find a lot of my assignments are longer term. Staff always willing to listen and help when needed. I always recommend when people ask who I get my assignments from

I've been working as a relief chef for perfect recruitment on and off for 7 years. I've also used them to find me relief chefs when I took a head chef position on so have seen both sides of it. They are organised, communicate well and do a great job keeping their chefs etc in work throughout the year. Great company.

Excellent chef agency, been on and off with them for about 4 years. Always well looked after and kept in work, always a minimum of 40 hours and plenty more if you want them.

Lisa and the team are brilliant! They really do work hard to source engaging and appropriate long term placements. I have primarily dealt with Samantha who has consistently gone above and beyond any expectations providing excellent hospitality opportunities and, more importantly, excellent aftercare to ensure I was settled into my new role and thriving. I would also be remised to mention the excellent service provided by Emily and John-Jo in providing short term placements in the interim. All in, a great service and a great company, highly recommended.

Perfect recruitment have shown to me how much they value their staff as much as the clients they have. through this difficult time I have seen many people not getting looked after buy their employer and I have to say a big thankyou to Lisa and the staff who have worked around the clock to help staff. I did not qualify for furlough at first. before I realised that the dates had changed I had an email explaining that with the new furlough legislation that I will qualify and they will do all they possible can to help. excellent employer with talented chefs on there books who I have worked with
