About Koksuitspanje.nl – European Hospitality Recruitment Without Agency Constructions

Koksuitspanje.nl is a specialised recruitment platform connecting
European chefs and hospitality professionals
with employers in the UK & Ireland.

We focus on direct employment, transparency and long-term placements —
without temp agencies, labour leasing or hidden contractual structures.


Why Koksuitspanje.nl exists

Hospitality employers across the UK and Ireland are facing ongoing staff shortages,
while skilled professionals across Europe are looking for reliable opportunities abroad.

Koksuitspanje.nl bridges that gap by combining:

  • A recruitment platform for employers and candidates
  • A premium search service for targeted European recruitment
  • Clear expectations on contracts, roles and working conditions

Our role is not to replace employers’ decision-making,
but to connect the right people directly.


Direct hire – always

All candidates recruited via Koksuitspanje.nl are
employed directly by the employer.

We do not operate as:

  • A temp agency
  • A payroll provider
  • A labour leasing intermediary

This ensures clarity for both sides and avoids long-term dependency on external parties.


For employers

Employers use our platform to:

  • Post hospitality vacancies
  • Access candidates from across Europe
  • Recruit independently or via premium search

Most vacancies are located in the UK & Ireland,
with European recruitment as the sourcing network.
