" essential " when it comes to situations
like the one we find ourselves in now. And
many of the industry's best are awakening
to this new era of enlightenment, making
career moves that they previously
wouldn't have considered.
So what can we, in non-commercial
foodservice operations, do to recruit some
of these former restaurant employees?
This is a question I've been pondering
since moving into health care myself over
a decade ago. I have compiled a list of
advice that I've found motivating for such
job seekers.
RECRUITING IDEAS
FOR NON - COMMERCIAL
O P E R AT O R S
The following list may not apply to every
institution, but it might provide food for
thought for operators looking to build a
quality and experienced workforce.

Rocky Dunnam,
CEC, CCA, WCEC,
CDM, CFPP is the
Executive Chef of
Dining and Nutrition
Services for
Missouri University
Health Care in
Columbia, as well as
Owner/Executive
Chef/Consultant
for Rock'D Recipes
chef consulting.
A graduate of Le
Cordon Bleu, he
holds certifications
from the American
Culinary Federation,
World Association
of Chefs Societies,
and the Association
of Nutrition &
Foodservice
Professionals. He
serves on ANFP's
Editorial Advisory
Board.

Adjust your job listings.
Many non-commercial operators use
online job postings to advertise openings
in their organizations, and increasingly
so. Take a look at your specific job
titles, descriptions, duties, etc., and give
them an industry-friendly overhaul.
Start by using some of the commercial
industry's common language. This
could be as easy as changing your
food preparation employee's title from
" Nutrition Associate " to " Cook, " or
from " Tray Transporter " to " Server. "
Oftentimes, the title of a position is the
indicator of whether a job is right for
a candidate, and simply utilizing some
common terminology will go a long way
in recruiting some of those displaced
restaurant workers.
