Chief Executive Officer, Shahzad Ali, said: “I grew up in the heat of a restaurant and know that the people employed are the lifeblood of the service industry. But I also know how the wrong environment can make it a very difficult place to work which has an impact on staff retention.
“That’s why I launched YapJobs, to help the best people find work quickly in the places that they really want to work. We want to use technology to help drive a real change in the industry, ensuring that people are also matched to company culture which will help promote a better working environment across the board.
“We don’t want people to be wage slaves. We want them to find the jobs that make them feel happy, empowered and fulfilled so they are more likely to stay and perform better in those roles.”
