Catering & Hospitality Recruitment made easy with Days Recruitment
‘DAY’S Recruitment are on a mission to provide an unrivalled level of service to both companies and candidates alike’.
Meet Catherine Day – Founder and Director of DAY’S Recruitment, Catering and Hospitality Recruitment specialists.
For any new business, excellent communication is extremely important, but when a new business sets up during a pandemic, at a time when the industry they specialise in is all but utterly decimated, the need for excellent communication is everything!
I was told in no uncertain terms, I was mad…
Why are you setting up now, why don’t you wait until Covid is over.
‘Is this a good idea? You will have no clients – Hospitality is shut’.
‘Cath, I know you are optimistic, but this is crazy’.
Okay, in hindsight I probably was very naïve, but was this a hindrance, or help? Absolutely was a help!
It was early March 2020, my little boy was less than a month old, and my daughter was still only a toddler, but my mind was made up…I was going to set up the business, and absolutely nothing was going to get in my way – after all, I knew I wanted to be at every school concert, trip and parents evening, so my ‘Why’ made this non-negotiable.
I launched the business in August of 2020 having spent just under 6 months planning and preparing, and I reached out to former colleagues, candidates, and prospective clients during this time. It wasn’t long before there was a small relaxation in rules, and we were asked to support a well renowned sporting venue – who are thankfully still valued clients.
I would be lying if I said it was an easy road, but I received support, guidance, and advice from some truly inspirational businesspeople, and I received administrative support from a former team member
– enter Alannah – who was fundamental in our success in the very early days.
Fast forward to the present day and we are now a team of three, working with some of the best in the business, from care homes to live entertainment venues, sporting stadiums to luxury hotels – not just in Wales, but in various locations throughout the UK!
As a team we are really excited to continue supporting candidates into exciting new roles, and clients on securing talented individuals for various types of roles!
Our commitment to providing an unrivalled level of service to both client and candidate is evident in the excellent reviews we have received to date, and in September 2021 this was also recognised by South Wales Business Awards as we were nominees in the ‘start-up of the year’ category.
Our mission is simple:
‘To provide an unrivalled level of service to both companies and candidates alike’.
DAY’S Recruitment is the place to go for Temp, Perm and Temp to Perm Recruitment Solutions within the Catering and Hospitality sector.
Our mission and values really are more than just words, and this is reflected in our commitment to the industry through our REC and Institute of Hospitality Membership, as well as the outstanding reviews and feedback we have received to date.
