Feedback from some of our clients

The alliance that we have with Alliance Abroad is very much about making the whole process from start to finish a lot smoother. From originally sourcing the candidates to being able to refine it down to the point of what we exactly need for our operations just makes it incredibly straightforward. (The Fair) has been incredibly well organized and it’s actually been a really smooth process from start to finish. To be able to see the candidates, to do the cooking and the interviewing process has been incredibly well organized. The caliber of chefs that we’ve looked at in Dubai has been incredible, and that’s the reason that we’re here in Dubai because I think that the training that the chefs get here is probably some of the best in the world.

Feedback from some of our clients

From the outset, communication has been clear between us as a host employer and AGG, especially with any questions or support. In addition, the quality of trainees has been first class. I have found it is very difficult to find quality kitchen staff locally and this program has certainly helped bridge the gap for our restaurant. I would highly recommend the program to anyone in the hospitality industry looking for additional kitchen staff who are proven to be punctual, professional and fast learners.”
