I have never dealt with or been involved with Chef Agencies in over a decade, up until now.
Scenario: I was looking for work. I supplied my CV to a Chef recruitment agency. Made contact with a person at the agency who knows about lots of chef job vacancies and he arranged for me several interviews.
Eventually, through somewhat awkward circumstances, I landed a job at a hotel the chef agency had a vacancy for. I say awkward circumstances because I initially turned down the job offer, but I know and have worked with the head chef who has just taken over the kitchen at this hotel, before. the head chef was on holiday at the time of my interview, but first day he started at this hotel he called me up and said he would like to take me on board, even though I had turned down the position already, asking if I was still interested.
I turned down the job because I was holding out for another job the agency had. yet nothing became of that.
so now I have been offered the same job that I had turned down previously. offered the job by the head chef who I know and have worked with before, yet not the agency. even though it was the agency who put me in contact, indirectly, with the head chef i have worked with before.
I'm left thinking is the chef agency going to get anything out me? because I have been offered the job by the head chef instead, who knows me personally and wants to take me on board himself ...
