Cookatoo was founded by Alexander Scrase, who spent 14 years working in hospitality across Perth cafés and Michelin-starred kitchens in London. That background means we understand what a great hospitality hire looks like far beyond a CV.

We recruit exclusively for permanent roles across Perth's restaurants, hotels, bars, wineries, members clubs and South West venues. Every candidate is personally interviewed and reference-checked before we make a recommendation. Wedon't send bulk CVs. We send shortlists of people we would hire ourselves.
