Hi, friends, degenerates, front, back, side, and around the House!
After internal mod team discussion, and a *lot* of requests via ModMail and other channels, we have decided to try a test run of this new weekly post wherein we'll permit both potential employers and job seekers a venue to sell themselves in an attempt to fill or join a team.
#MANY WORDS OF CAUTION TO FOLLOW, PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THOROUGHLY
This is the internet, so we all need to be safe, so if you're going to post in this thread, or reach out to anyone, via any channel, please make sure you are doing your due diligence. Please be wary of potential scams, spam, or other attempts to do Bad Things Online By People You've Never Met.
For the time being, this post is going to be restricted via our In The Weeds Mode Flair, in order to try and prevent things like bots and other bad actors from posting here.
If you are a genuine member of the community, and your intentions appear valid, we'll approve your comment as soon as we can, I promise.
Job Posters - What to Do and Not Do
* Please do not just invite people into your DM's to discuss!!! Can't stress this enough.
* If you're a hiring manager, or other employer, please be sure to give potential candidates something they can use to validate your business. A website, for example, that people can go check you out. No, not your personal social media, a "real" website. If you own Rusty Shackleford's Arlen BBQ, then we should be able to go check out rustysarlenbbq[dot]com to see what the fuss is all about.
* Please, to the best of your ability, direct potential job seekers to a business email, and/or hiring portal. rusty[at]rustysarlenbbq[dot]com for example. Or, if you're a large enough employer that you use a portal like Workday (ew, I know, but still) or iCIMS or some other type of platform, that's fine too. Hell, if your place of business maintains a LinkedIn presence, that could work too.
* Be clear about what you want in a team member! The economy sucks, and people are tired of ghost jobs, MLM's, and other nonsense. Please tell people FOH, BOH, dishie, somewhere in between. Tell people expected shift and so on.
* Please don't spam the thread. Make one post about your business and your needs. If you have 10 positions, then hey post them all at once, that's cool.
* Do not dox yourself here!!! Again, a corporate email is one thing if you use it for regular business inquiries. But try not to post other personal info here if you can.
Job Seekers - What to Do and Not Do
\* DO NOT DOX YOURSELF HERE!!! Please, for the love of Chives, please do not just drop your uncensored resume, phone number, or personal email in here publicly. If we see it, we're going to take out your comment.
* Do your own due diligence! Check out a business. Check out their website, check out their socials, check out reviews, etc. Make sure you're dealing with someone on the Up and Up before you just send them your contact info.
* We highly recommend you do not completely transact business via Reddit DM. If you need a quick "hey, I'm so and so I'm interested, here's a deeper dive on my background" that's cool, but please don't hash out all the specifics without getting to know the people behind any potential offer, etc.
* Please also do not spam the thread. We know the economy sucks and a lot of people are in a not great place right now, but please don't post a dozen replies to people going "Just Fuckin' Hire Me", please.
For Everyone
Please make sure any, and all opportunities, are above board.
The KitchenConfidential cannot, and will not, tolerate suggesting circumventing any local laws, regulations, or what not. IE - don't go asking for, or offering, "under the table work" publicly. We just can't have that here, sorry.
Again, ultimately, everyone has to be skeptical first before establishing trust and moving forward with sharing any personal contact details.
With all that said, if all goes well, this will be a recurring, weekly thread, where we hope this vast network of fun, curmudgeonly people who all love food and the service therein can come together to help each other out.
Bon Appetit, Good Luck, and Chives the Cat be With You!
