Hospitality and catering recruitment in Dublin

Hotels, restaurants, cafes, contract caterers and event venues in Dublin all face the same problem: finding reliable people who will stay. We recruit permanent chefs, front-of-house staff, supervisors and managers, and through Find A Temp we can also cover short-notice shifts.

Hospitality hiring in Dublin

Staff shortages in Dublin hospitality have eased slightly but retention remains the real challenge. Candidates are choosing employers on rosters, pay transparency and how they are treated, and they talk to each other. We spend time understanding your operation and your culture so that we introduce people who will fit and stay, not just people who are available this week.

Permanent recruitment plus temps when you need them

For permanent roles we meet every candidate, check references and experience, and brief them properly on your venue before an interview. For gaps that cannot wait, our sister platform Find A Temp lets you browse vetted hospitality and catering temps in Dublin and request them directly, often for the same day.

Frequently asked questions

Can you find chefs quickly?

For permanent chef roles we aim for a shortlist within one to two weeks. For an immediate gap, Find A Temp usually has chefs and kitchen staff available at short notice.

Do you recruit for hotels outside Dublin city?

Yes. We cover Dublin city and county and the surrounding counties, and we will consider roles further afield for management positions.
