Hi, I'm Sandra Koziela,
Recruitment Manager
I joined the Mitchells & Butlers recruitment team in January 2026. Although I’m the newest member of the team, I bring diverse experience in high-volume and corporate recruitment, which allows me to tailor my approach to every candidate and support them in a way that meets their individual needs. I partner closely with Area Managers across a number of our brands, including Ember Inns, Harvester, and Miller & Carter, covering the South East of England — including Essex, Kent, and Surrey.
What I love most about my role is the opportunity to connect with people — hearing about their experiences, understanding what motivates them, and recognising that every candidate has their own unique story. I’m passionate about creating a positive and supportive candidate experience, and nothing is more rewarding than seeing people I’ve supported through the recruitment process go on to grow and develop their careers with us.
If you’d like to learn more about how I can help you build your career with Mitchells & Butlers, please feel free to connect — I’d love to support you on your journey
Top Tips
Show you embrace change and challenge
High-volume settings move fast, so embrace change, variety, and teamwork. Show you're open to changing things up with alternative tasks, and learning new systems or adapting budgets. A positive, can-do attitude often matters more than experience so lean into growth.
Prepare great examples for your interview
Be ready with two or three stories that highlight how you've supported guests, solved problems, or developed your team. Use clear examples to show patience, teamwork, and initiative, even from non-hospitality roles. Specific wins help us picture you delivering the same standard for your guests.
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. We notice genuine enthusiasm, be yourself and show your passion.
