Sixty Eight International
READ ON
Sixty Eight International is our answer to the UK’s, hospitality businesses’ skilled worker shortage. As we continue our revolution to grow the biggest hospitality network on the planet, there’s no way we could sit on our hands & watch this happen… so, pioneered by our Managing Director, Charlotte, we introduced a solution to match international talent with their dream roles in the UK. We now recruit from all over the world… Philippines, Poland, South Africa, India and Sri Lanka to name only a few. We do this by recruiting candidates directly or by using our international partner recruitment agencies – either way, we have access to the best global talent there is.
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.

Who we've helped
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.”

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.”
