Ibrahim Kasif
Manager - Chef Division
With 18 years experience as a chef, and 12 as a Head Chef, including 6.5 years as the Chef/Owner of Stanbuli Turkish Restaurant in Sydney, Ibrahim brings a lot to the table as a chef recruiter. Ibrahim knows how to recruit to build a brigade as Stanbuli got a hat in its first year!
Along with his deeply personal experience as a chef, having been through the trenches of owning a restaurant, adds another layer of understanding, on both sides of the pass. From the heat of the kitchen, nailing service every time, Ibrahim brings that same expert perspective to the recruitment game, sourcing the very best chefs in Australia, Asia and the Pacific.

Jack Moffitt
Senior Recruiter - Pub Division
Having made the great escape from the Central West, Jack’s career has spanned Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and the Middle East, so he has seen it all.
Starting as a glassie while at university and now with over 20 years of management in hotels as a Licensee, General Manager and Group Operations Manager with some of Australia’s most successful Pub Groups that own Sydney’s biggest drinking institutions, Jack has a firm understanding of the mechanics of the industry and the pressures of today.
Drawing on strong operational knowledge of all aspects of pub management, and with connections from east to west, Jack is a natural to source talent at all levels, including Licensees, Operations Managers, Gaming Managers, GMs…..and everything in between.
Given the breadth of venues Jack has been exposed to, he can always find the right fit for any style of venue and is your ‘go to’ guy for anything bar or pub related.
