Restaurant staff are not hard to find, but quality staff are not easy to find. If you are a restaurant owner, have you ever wondered where restaurants with good staff who love to serve find their staff? First of all, you should understand that finding quality staff to work with us does not depend only on the source we look for. It also depends on our restaurant. In other words, before recruiting staff, we must have good staff selection standards and take care of them first. Employees who work hard and want to grow in their roles naturally want to work with quality restaurants with good standards. After we have set our standards, it is time to search for staff from various sources to select. In the past, we might have to put up a sign in front of the store and wait for people to see it. But nowadays, we have many applications and websites that act as a middleman to find jobs. Let's see what these tools are. 
1.Line Job
If you are already using Line, this service is very convenient because Line Job is a service that provides people through the Line application. There are approximately 42 million people who use Line throughout Thailand. The job positions focus on service-level employees, such as service staff, receptionists, cashiers, etc. The advantage of Line Job is that we can post jobs for free, with no charges. We only pay when we look at the applicants' details. We can also add unlimited admins for free. Once we have people, we can contact them through Line. This is a must-have for anyone who is already using Line.
2.Helpster Thailand
Helpster is another job placement service that matches operational staff with businesses. It emphasizes convenience and speed. But the advantage is that Helpster does not only act as a middleman between companies and job applicants. It also aims to improve the labor market by selecting employees or partners with suitable qualifications. The process starts with interviews, tests, and background checks. We can choose to select ourselves, give satisfaction scores, or let the Helpster team do it. Employees who pass the check will receive a Verified Staff band, which helps entrepreneurs and companies reduce the effort in selecting. What's more, you can also check whether employees actually come to work at the company via GPS in case it is inconvenient to come to the store or office.
3.Facebook Group
Since Facebook is familiar to Thais and is a medium that people often use, Facebook Groups are a suitable place to find employees through various groups related to that job position. The advantage of using Facebook Groups is the “freedom” in posting job announcements. We can freely create ideas, such as posting pictures, text, or even videos to attract those interested in applying for jobs to contact us without any restrictions. But don’t forget to follow the rules and etiquette of each group. Examples of popular Facebook Groups for finding restaurant employees include “Chefs, Cooks, Finding Jobs + Jobs Finding People” (
https://www.facebook.com/groups/634000369971133/ ), “Finding Jobs + Hiring Workers. Cooks/Chefs/Assistants/Restaurant/Hotel Employees 2014” (
https://www.facebook.com/groups/358611414338526/ ), etc.
4.JobBKK
A large and popular job search website with the advantage of having more than 200,000 updated job positions, 50,000 positions ranging from staff, managers to executives, allowing entrepreneurs to find a variety of job positions. Companies and shops can register to use the system's services at every step, from job search, interview scheduling, chatting between entrepreneurs and applicants. In addition, JobBKK also has a variety of data filtering systems, such as dividing applicants by region or occupation, etc.
5.JobThai
Another popular job search website that may not be as big as JobBKK, but still has over 95,000 updated job positions, covering all levels from staff to executives. One of the advantages of JobThai is its user-friendly interface, which is clearly visible. It is divided into only 2 main menus: “Find People” and “Find Jobs.” Resumes are sorted by age, education, field of study, and region, making it suitable for those who are not familiar with job search websites or are not comfortable with websites with complicated interfaces. All of these are just some of the channels for recruiting employees. However, business owners should use many channels together, including both traditional media such as storefront announcements and modern media as mentioned above, because qualified applicants may not have left their resumes online. Also, you should not trust the selection process of various websites and apps too much, but should also give more importance to your restaurant’s interview process. This will help reduce selection errors and ensure that you get quality employees with the qualifications that all restaurant owners want.
