Cookaburra recruits permanent Events Managers for London's hotels, restaurants and dedicated function venues, placing professionals who can manage the full event lifecycle and represent your brand with confidence.
Cookaburra is a London hospitality recruitment agency founded by someone who has worked the industry from the ground up, starting as a dishwasher in Perth at 16, through to Michelin-starred kitchens in London. Every placement is permanent, and every recommendation is personal.
We don't fill seats. We find people who fit.
The SHRM Workforce Research (2023) found that 68 per cent of hospitality workers leave within their first year. A bad hire costs up to three times the role's annual salary, and key positions in London sit unfilled for an average of six weeks. Permanent recruitment, done well, solves all three problems at once.
