Whether you’re looking for a hostess, server or executive chef, here are a few tips to help you find the best candidates for your restaurant.

Start looking for an employee before you get desperate.
Recruit employees consistently promising them a great job and work atmosphere. By waiting until you need an employee, you may not be as selective in your hiring as you should be.

Ask your best employees for help.
Many servers and chefs know of other great people out there who would be a terrific fit for your restaurant.

Get your customers involved.
Consider placing a short survey on the table asking customers if they are interested in a position or know someone who might want to be a part of your team.

Visit local culinary schools and get to know the students.
Getting involved in your community is a great way to help the recruitment process. Offer to mentor a culinary student who would be willing to intern at your restaurant.

Let your vendors and other business contacts know you’re looking.
They most likely work with other restaurants in the area and may know of someone looking for employment.

Hire a recruiting service.
Use a recruiting service specifically designed for the restaurant industry. By doing so, you can find the best fit for both you and your prospective employee.
