Recruit and train apprentice chefs

Taking full advantage of the provisions of the September 2018 “Professional Future” Act, which allows companies to establish their own apprentice training centers, Sodexo launched the CFA des chefs in partnership with Accor, Adecco, and Korian.

To help ensure the success of this training program, we have been working with Sodexo for over two years to recruit apprentice chefs.

About 30 new hires

As a result, several campaigns were launched on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok. Thanks to our analyses and automated combination testing, we were able to generate a qualified stream of candidates for the CFA’s job openings and attract more than 1,500 applications across all campaigns. For each campaign, an average of 62% of prequalified candidates entered Sodexo’s recruitment process.

Building on these positive results, we are now assisting the group with its permanent hiring needs for front-of-house and kitchen staff.
