Candidate Testimonial
“What an experience. I’m loving being in the UK and learning new skills in a UK kitchen. I’ve travelled quite a bit so very used to being away from home but joining The Duncombe Arms with people from my home country has been great from the moment I spoke to Sixty Eight People to stepping into the kitchen at The Duncombe Arms I knew I was going to learn a lot and it’s been great to share my skills too.”
CHARMIE, CHEF, THE DUNCOMBE ARMS
Client Testimonial
“It was a fun & thorough experience. Interviewing online, and seeing technical skills & dish creation videos was an excellent way around handling candidates on the other side of the world. I don’t feel anymore could have been done to create faith in committing to these candidates and equally them committing to us. Our new chefs have instantly settled within the team, with exceptional work ethics and a real willingness to learn and grow. We have already started the process for 6 more candidates across our other venues. They have bolstered and solidified our team during a difficult time for the industry. Having a full staff schedule has helped attract more chefs into the business as this has created core stability.”​

Client Testimonial
“We’re over the moon to have three chefs from the Philippines working with us. It makes us very happy to see their technical skills, shown throughout the remote interview process, being put into action as they produce delicious dishes for our guests – all whilst sharing the biggest smiles with everyone they meet.”
LAURA GREENALL, OWNER, THE DUNCOMBE ARM
Sixty Eight International
Although we recruit international talent for various roles we began by recruiting chefs for UK operators. Over the past 10 years, we’ve seen the demand for chefs continuously increase due to UK restaurant quality improving, guest expectations getting higher and an emphasis on moving to freshly prepared food and artisan techniques.
Chefs are the absolute life and soul of the hospitality industry. If you hire the perfect chef they could improve the guest experience of any venue. We just knew there were “perfect chefs” all around the globe not just in the UK & we made it our mission to find them.
International hospitality in the UK.
We now work with UK businesses to introduce them to top-notch talent globally. All our candidates, from across the world, are screened, interviewed, and skills tested before finding their perfect employer match.
