The person behind ChefCrew

Built by a chef. Made for kitchens.

Hi, I'm Daniel Castelló, the founder of ChefCrew Recruitment. I've worked in professional kitchens in Spain, Japan and the Netherlands, and I know first-hand how much the right people matter to a team.

ChefCrew was born from a simple idea: kitchen recruitment should feel more personal, practical and connected to the reality of restaurant life. We help kitchens meet people who understand the job — and help chefs find their next opportunity.

Real kitchen experience. Real conversations.
