At Prezzo Italian, our restaurants are the heartbeat of everything we do. As a Hospitality Recruiter, you’ll make a real difference by supporting every restaurant and department in having the right people in the right roles, within a timely manner.

We’re creating this role because we’re investing in our growth, expanding our estate and strengthening our teams for the future.

This role isn’t about branding or campaigns - it’s about getting the job done. You’ll work side-by-side with General Managers and Regional Managers to tackle hiring challenges, remove barriers, and keep our restaurants fully staffed and ready to thrive. From chefs to front-of-house to behind-the-scenes roles, you’ll be the one making sure the right people are in place to deliver hospitality magic every single day.
Key Responsibilities:

Fill vacancies fast and well – drive recruitment across restaurants, ensuring any new hires are the Prezzo Italian fit.
Be on the front foot – work with Regional Managers and line managers to anticipate hiring needs and provide timely solutions.
Own the process – manage roles end-to-end through our applicant tracking system, ensuring smooth candidate handling and accurate records.
Problem-solve barriers – keep recruitment moving by tackling challenges head-on and finding practical fixes, including direct sourcing.
Support managers – provide hands-on recruitment advice and coordination, making hiring easier for busy restaurant leaders.
Balance pace and quality – handle multiple roles across multiple sites, delivering efficiently without compromising on fit.

What We’re Looking For:

Recruitment experience in a fast-paced, multi-site hospitality environment (essential).
Strong understanding of restaurant operations and the impact of staffing on the team, guests, and performance.
Confident user of applicant tracking systems and recruitment processes.
Delivery-focused, hands-on, and not afraid to get stuck in.
Problem solver with a practical, solutions-led approach.
Flexible to support a business that operates evenings and weekends.
Based in the South East or London, with the ability to travel across our estate, if needed.
