Sophie Dawson
Recruitment Partner
I have been part of Mitchells & Butlers Recruitment Team since 2022 but with Mitchells & Butlers much longer, across various roles in operations and HR and Training. I recruit for General Managers and Head Chef/Kitchen Managers across Yorkshire and Humberside. I feel particularly at home in this patch as a Yorkshire girl myself! I previously recruited for the North West so know lots about our businesses in the North. I partner with Area Managers across lots of our brands including Harvester and Miller & Carter to name just a couple!
What do I love about my role? There is a lot I love about my role, but mainly it’s getting to speak with lots of different people. I love to chat through experience and find out what people are really looking for in a role with us so I can find the best opportunities for individuals. Mitchells & Butlers really is a company that values their team and supports progression, never did I think when I joined at 18 as a part time waitress that I would still be here nearly 15 years later but I really have been supported to grow and develop and you could be to! Please get in touch and connect with me if you’d like to find out more about opportunities or would just like to have a chat about Mitchells & Butlers, I’d love to speak with you!
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.
