Hospitality Venues We Support Across North Yorkshire
Our recruiters know the county well, from the country house hotels of the Yorkshire Dales to the busy seafront venues in Scarborough and Whitby. We regularly support employers in York, Harrogate, Ripon, Northallerton, Skipton and the surrounding market towns, covering gastropubs, wedding venues, racecourses, visitor attractions and contract catering sites.
Because North Yorkshire sits between several of our other patches, we can draw talent from a wide area. Where a local search is tight, our reach across the North East, West Yorkshire and the North West gives clients a genuinely wide pool of hospitality professionals rather than a shortlist limited to one postcode.
Chef Recruitment for Kitchens of Every Size
Chef recruitment sits at the heart of what our agency does. We place head chefs, sous chefs, chef de parties, pastry chefs and kitchen porters into kitchen brigades across the county, whether you run a two rosette dining room or a high volume catering operation feeding hundreds a day.
Every chef on our books is spoken to properly before we put them forward, so we understand their food style, section experience and the sort of kitchen culture where they will do their best work. That groundwork is why our clients tend to see fewer no shows and stronger retention once a new position is filled.

Front of House and Management Vacancies
Alongside the kitchen, we fill front of house and leadership vacancies that shape how guests experience a venue. Our hospitality recruitment covers restaurant manager and general manager appointments, assistant and deputy managers, sales and events coordinators, reception teams and duty managers.
Senior hires deserve a careful approach, so we handle the whole process discreetly and keep both sides informed at every stage. For permanent recruitment at this level we take time to understand your service standards and commercial targets first, which gives you the best chance of appointing someone who becomes a real asset rather than a short term fix.
Recruiters Who Understand the Hospitality Sector
Not all recruitment agencies understand hospitality, and it shows. Ours came from the industry, so we speak your language on rotas, covers, seasonal peaks and the supply chain pressures that shape hiring decisions across the sector.
That professional approach benefits candidates too. We talk openly about pay, progression and work life balance before anyone attends an interview, which means the right candidates arrive with realistic expectations and stay longer.
If you are hiring, or starting your own job search in North Yorkshire, get in touch today and we will get to work.
