Having worked with Appetite for well in excess of 10 years, I can honestly say that I have found them to be a very good and very professional recruitment company. I have had the pleasure of working in particular with Jemma Springle for Front of the house roles and Toby Wilde for Kitchen roles over the years and have found them to be extremely helpful and dedicated to finding good quality candidates which they both have done on numerous occasions. Having worked extensively in the industry prior to becoming recruiters gives both Jemma and Toby a very clear understanding of the various job roles. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Appetite4Recruitment to any employer.

I have always found Appetite4Recruitement really great to work with. They understand our brand and always manage to find candidates that match our culture and values.

I’ve worked with Toby for over 7 years on kitchen roles both in London and the surrounding counties and more recently with Jemma on our requirements in management teams.

With first-hand knowledge of the hospitality sector and a clear understanding of what I look for in a great candidate I’ve always found them both to be quick to react, direct and honest in their approach to helping us recruit the right team member.

Appetite have excellent local knowledge of Berkshire and Surrey and a fantastic database of candidates but are also not shy about proactively seeking out the right person to join our teams when required.

Being able to discuss potential candidates in an upfront and relevant way, cutting through the chaff means the process is efficient and more successful when it comes to securing the right people.

This makes Appetite my go to recruiter for all our needs.

Having worked with Jemma and her colleagues at Appetites for a number of years now, I can absolutely recommend working with them as professional and knowledgeable search specialist, for all roles in the hospitality sector.

Jemma has sourced and placed a number of key roles for me across multiple businesses – the majority of which continue to be successful and longstanding working relationships.

Jemma’s approach to sourcing is candidate focused – never comprising on suitability and cultural fit. We are a people-focused business so this works perfectly for us.

We have been working with Appetite4Recruitment for a while now. As a business they are very reliable and professional. Dan Harbert is always spot on with all candidates and I can highly recommend them.

At The Alchemist, we work really hard to encourage progression and internal opportunities for all employees, but as a growing brand, at times we need some help and support with our recruitment.  Appetite have really taken the time to understand our brand and culture.  It is important for us that when using a recruitment agency they demonstrate the same values and culture to any prospective employees that we do; Appetite embraced this way of working and have since introduced us to some great candidates that are now Alchemist employees.

It’s always really great to work with Daniel at Appetite. He consistently gets it right for us at Temper and delivers what we need, when we need it. Top candidates with accurate CV’s and he doesn’t waste my time. I would recommend.

Jo and the team at Appetite 4 Recruitment have always bent over backwards to look after me.  They understand my business and the need for fast placements of candidates who fit the position available.  In a difficult climate Jo has successfully found me the right person just when I needed them!

Shortlisting candidates for management vacancies is a necessary but time-consuming constant of the hospitality sector, so having a relationship with an agency that understands what you are looking for, and takes time to syphon candidates not only suitable on paper but with the right profile, has always been important for me. Having worked with Kerry, Nick and the team at Appetite for a number of years, they stand out from the crowd as people that take the time from the outset to save mine in the long run!

I have been a friend of Appetite for several years, both as a candidate and as a client. Not only are they fabulous in the world of hospitality recruiting, but they are also a truly friendly and inclusive bunch of people who go above and beyond. They make it their mission to understand what makes a business or a person tick, so the candidate matches are always spot on.
