For Sumnit – also known as “Coronation chicken salad” – hospitality isn’t just a job. It’s a career path he’s actively building.
Currently studying Hospitality and Tourism Management, he’s already immersed himself in the industry. From bartending with Shack Events and The Winter Club to working Front of House with Etiquette Group, his experience has been shaped by fast-paced, people-first environments.
“These roles have helped me build strong customer service, teamwork, and communication skills,” he explains.
But like many candidates, breaking through wasn’t easy.
🫣 The job search that wasn’t working
Before Candid, Sumnit’s search followed a familiar pattern – job boards, company websites, and application after application.
“Job sites felt repetitive and time-consuming,” he says.
Despite the effort, the experience often felt one-sided. Applications went unanswered, feedback was rare, and the process lacked any real sense of connection.
🤩 A fairer way to get hired
Candid changed that. Instead of relying on CVs and traditional screening, the platform offered a more direct and human way to be seen.
“Having a platform that removes initial bias makes the process feel fairer and more focused on skills”
Sumnit, Team Member @ GAIL’s
For Sumnit, this shift wasn’t just refreshing – it was empowering. It allowed him to show who he is, not just what’s written on paper.
🧡 Simple. Human. Effective.
What stood out most was how easy the experience felt.
“I really liked how simple and user-friendly the platform is.”
Sumnit, Team Member @ GAIL’s
No endless forms. No overthinking every line of a CV. Just a straightforward way to connect, communicate, and be matched based on potential.
🥐 Why GAIL’s?
Among his matches, GAIL’s stood out immediately.
Known for its quality, fresh food, and strong focus on people, the brand aligned perfectly with what Sumnit was looking for – and what he values in hospitality.
That alignment quickly turned into opportunity.
Now stepping into his role as a Team Member at GAIL’s, Sumnit is focused on what comes next: gaining hands-on experience, developing new skills, and being part of a team that delivers exceptional service.
🤝 Why this matters
Sumnit’s story highlights a bigger shift in hospitality hiring. Talent doesn’t always come through on a CV. Potential, personality, and passion can be overlooked in traditional processes.
By removing bias and simplifying the journey, Candid creates space for people to be seen properly – and for the right matches to happen faster. Because when hiring works this way, it’s not just easier. It works.
