Know Your Worth: Get Paid What You Deserve with Our Chef Rates Benchmark Report

1. Why Organic Reach Isn’t Enough

Relying on job boards and Facebook posts? You’re competing with noise. Paid ads:

• Reach chefs scrolling Instagram, not searching Indeed
• Appear in Google when chefs browse recipes or forums
• Follow them across platforms with retargeting

It’s inbound marketing—but amplified.

2. What You Get With This Service

• Campaign strategy call
• Copywriting + ad creative (images, videos, or text)
• Google Search + Meta (Facebook/Instagram) ads setup
• Targeting by role, location, and device
• Weekly monitoring and optimisation
• Landing page advice (or build, if needed)

You get applicants—not impressions.

3. How We Target the Right Chefs

We build audiences using:

• Job title interest (chef, sous, commis)
• Location radius (postcode, city, or national)
• Behaviour data (hospitality, culinary pages, keywords)
• Time of day (when chefs are actually online)

Each ad is tweaked per region, venue type, and urgency.

4. Real Results From Paid Traffic

• One agency filled a relief chef role in 36 hours with £72 ad spend
• A group of pubs reduced time-to-fill by 50% using retargeting
• A small hotel launched a campaign and doubled qualified CVs in a week

Ads work—if built by people who know this industry.

5. Cost Breakdown and ROI

• £449 one-time setup: strategy, creative, and platform setup
• £99/month: management and optimisation
• Ad budget (recommended): £150–£500/month (billed to your ad account)

Typical ROI: 3–10x depending on niche and region.

1. Why Agencies Need Their Own Job Board

1. Why Ads Alone Miss Great Candidates

Job ads rely on chefs coming to you. But the best ones are often already working—and not actively browsing listings. That doesn’t mean they’re not open to offers. It means you need to go to them.

• You miss passive candidates
• You get fewer qualified applications
• Your time-to-hire increases

2. What Chef Sourcing Campaigns Actually Do

We don’t wait for responses. We go get them.

Here’s how it works:

• You give us your role specs
• We build a profile of ideal candidates
• Our team sends personalised outreach to chefs via:

• Email
• LinkedIn

• Existing chef databases

We do the heavy lifting. You talk to chefs who are already briefed and interested.

This works especially well for:

• Agencies with urgent roles or new clients
• Hotels and restaurants hiring senior or specialist chefs
• Businesses in remote areas or less-trafficked locations
• Anyone who’s already posted a job but seen slow response

If you need fast traction, this is the move.

4. How We Target the Right Chefs

Our team builds a chef persona based on:

• Location
• Cuisine or skillset
• Live-in preference
• Pay expectations
• Availability

We match that to chefs in our database and public platforms, then send messages designed to get replies. No spam. Just smart targeting.

5. What You Get for £199

• Chef persona mapping (based on your brief)
• Manual outreach to 30–50 matching chefs
• Emails + DMs personalised per role

1. Why Job Boards Alone Aren’t Enough

Job boards are flooded. Unless you pay for top listings, your post gets buried. Even then, most chefs aren’t scrolling job boards daily. They find work through their networks—and those networks live on Facebook.

• Low chef-specific traffic:
• Long response times:
• High competition:
• No built-in community:

2. Why Facebook Groups Still Work

Our groups are:

• Active daily: with thousands of UK-based chefs
• Filled with peer-to-peer referrals: and recruiter engagement
• Seen by job-seekers: who prefer direct, fast leads
• Proven to generate: likes, tags, shares, and DMs

These are niche groups with momentum—not spammed walls of text. Real people. Real jobs.

3. What’s Included in This Posting Service

Posting your chef job ad in 30+ UK chef groups

• Formatting for readability: tone, and group guidelines
• Strategic reposting: every 7–10 days
• Snapshot-style formatting: (location, salary, benefits, etc.)
• Option to include: photos, logos, or links
• Monthly performance updates: on reach and engagement

We know what works. We know where to post. And we do it daily.

4. Who This Works For

Best for:

• Agencies: handling multiple chef vacancies
• Restaurant groups: hiring for multiple sites
• Hotels or pubs: needing quick relief cover
• Independent owners: who want exposure but lack time

Not suited for:

• Non-chef roles: (we offer separate services)
• Non-UK based positions:

5. How We Keep It Compliant and Effective

We follow each group’s individual rules

• We format posts for visibility: (not flagged as spam)
• Our team includes group admins: who maintain post quality
• Ads are written in natural language: for peer-to-peer trust

This isn’t just about dumping ads. It’s about strategic visibility in the right places.
