Over the last few years Jacqui at Mise en Place has successfully placed me in two roles. The recruitment process was very professional with Jacqui understanding exactly what it is I'm looking for in a position and employer. I'm happy to say that both roles have worked out very well and I recommend Mise en Place to to chefs and business owners alike.

Having first come into contact with Mise en Place when I reached out regarding a head chef role which was advertised on the Mise en Place website-I highly recommend for a bespoke service. From the get go I found the approach very professional, the communication was friendly, efficient, clear and I was kept updated throughout the process. Mise En Place also placed some colleagues on the managerial team for the business and supported myself in a new hire in my department.
It is very clear that Mise en Place is a great resource for any business and their recruitment needs. Jacqui is a pleasure to work with and takes a genuine interest in the business, matching the right people to the respective roles extremely well. ZW, London
