Only Chefs is more than just a job board. Founded in London, our mission is to streamline the connection between passionate chefs and prestigious employers. Whether you’re a fresh face in the industry searching for commis chef jobs or a seasoned professional aiming for executive roles, we provide the tools and opportunities to make your culinary ambitions a reality.
Hiring chefs in the UK is hard. Covid-19 and Brexit have created a huge shortage of chef talent, particularly in major cities like London.
We want to try to fix that.
Only Chefs was created in 2016 by a team of experienced hospitality and recruitment professionals. It is a place where London’s top chef talent and employers meet. Chefs can create a profile and receive job offers directly: no more recruiters or middle-men. For employers, we offer access to our highly targeted community of London chefs, through the website and our social media channels.
