Cookatoo recruits permanent Restaurant Managers for WA's independent restaurants, hotel dining rooms and group venues, placing leaders who understand both the business and the guest experience.
Cookatoo is a Perth-based hospitality recruitment agency founded by someone who has worked the industry from the ground up, starting as a dishwasher in Perth at 16, through to Michelin-starred kitchens in London. Every placement is permanent, and every recommendation is personal.
We don't fill seats. We find people who fit.
The Australian HR Institute found that 68 per cent of hospitality workers leave within their first year.
