Sous Chef

Service Overview

EBIT recruits, trade-tests and deploys vetted sous chefs for partner employers overseas. Sous chefs manage kitchen operations as the head chef's deputy, and we place candidates only after their skills, documents and experience have been verified.

Employers receive a candidate profile showing the practical test results, verified experience and documents for each sous chef, so hiring decisions are based on evidence rather than CVs alone. Candidates receive honest guidance on requirements, costs and the legal emigration process.
