Encuentra el cocinero ideal para tu restaurante
The cook is one of the fundamental pieces in a hospitality business, since it is the essence of a restaurant and its differential point.
En el caso de los cocineros, es un puesto que generalmente requiere cierto nivel de experiencia previa. Por esa razón, la entrevista de trabajo no es convencional, porque va más allá de contrastar la experiencia y estudios del candidato, porque es esencial hacer una demostración práctica de las habilidades y destrezas del cocinero y ver cómo se desenvuelve con el resto de trabajadores en su futura cocina.
A continuación, te dejamos unas pautas para plantear y realizar la entrevista de forma correcta:
Antes de la entrevista
- En primer lugar, es importante redactar una oferta de empleo que pueda describir el tipo de puesto que se ofrece y las exigencias de éste. Así harás que la gente correcta se apunte a la oferta.
- During the pre-selection of candidates, think carefully about the pattern to select them or not, to make this search easier.
- Prepare beforehand an interview script, which includes the most accurate description possible regarding pay, schedules, shifts, etc. Also think: do you want me to propose changes on the menu, or will you have to execute everything as it is already done?
During the Interview
- Generate with the candidate an air of confidence, take notes of what is most relevant and analyze your nonverbal language
- Remember to ask as many open questions as possible during the interview so that the candidate can provide as much information as possible.
It is also essential when selecting a chef is to make a talent test that allows you to observe closely how it unfolds and how it works. It is easier to decide based on what you see, if the person is the ideal one for your restaurant or not.
