Hi, I'm Becca Houseago,
Recruitment Partner
I joined Mitchells & Butlers Recruitment Team in January 2022, and haven’t looked back since! I recruit for General Manager and Head Chef/Kitchen Manager positions across the Midlands, in areas including but not limited to- Birmingham, Coventry, Stratford, Warwick, Rugby, and Stoke-On-Trent. You can often find me out and about meeting with Area Managers in a range of our brilliant businesses- Miller & Carter, Harvester, and many more!
My favourite part of my role is seeing how much our General Managers and Head Chefs flourish once they are in a business they love- playing a small part in this makes me so proud. I also love seeing our success stories of people who join us from transferrable industries, such as contract catering, and retail. If you have the behaviours and drive to succeed, the sky is the limit at M&B! Whether you’re just beginning to explore what else is out there, or are fully ready to make the move, drop me a message so we can connect!
Top Tips
Show you embrace change and challenge
High-volume settings move fast, so embrace change, variety, and teamwork. Show you're open to different shifts, tasks, and learning new systems or service styles. A positive, can-do attitude often matters more than experience so lean into growth.
Let your personality shine
Hospitality is a people-first industry, so let your energy and personality shine. Greet confidently and keep your tone friendly and positive. Employers notice genuine enthusiasm, be yourself and show your passion.
Prepare great examples for your interview
Be ready with two or three stories that highlight how you've supported guests, solved problems, or gone the extra mile. Use clear examples to show patience, teamwork, and initiative, even from non-hospitality roles. Specific wins help employers picture you delivering the same standard for their guests.
