We successfully recruited with JMQ on numerous occasions in the last years of Le Gavroche operating as a two Michelin star restaurant.

Josh and Andrew’s tailored and dynamic approach to recruitment helped us greatly in maintaining the standards Le Gavroche was known for. The quality of CVs received was impressive and we would have no hesitation in recommending JMQ to other hospitality professionals.

I first connected with JMQ over a decade ago when they placed me in a role at a five-star Hilton Hotel. Their encouragement and support gave me the confidence to succeed in that placement, and I have continued to work with them ever since. JMQ has always been professional, trustworthy, and reliable — paying fairly and on time while maintaining strong relationships with both clients and staff. They consistently demonstrate ambition, dedication, and fairness, and I would highly recommend them as a recruitment partner in hospitality.

I highly recommend JMQ to any organization seeking skilled hospitality professionals. Many of my friends who have worked in Michelin-starred and fine dining restaurants also speak highly of them, proving that JMQ truly brings an A-Team to the table!

JMQ is truly amazing! They connected me with the exact job I was looking for before I had even mentioned any specifics. The team made sure I was responded to quickly, checked in throughout every stage of the process up until the actual hiring, and advocated for me with the utmost dedication. They ensured I secured the best possible position, pay, and benefits. JMQ truly redefines the role of a recruitment agency. I wish I had a partner like them on my side every time I was hiring or looking for a job!
