For career development, networking is essential and people think of platforms like LinkedIn at the first go. The platform is well-established and versatile for every individual. Irrespective of industries, LinkedIn helps global professionals – ranging from finance to tech and beyond!

Introducing Foodism to you all which is a platform curated specifically for the food industry professionals to make job search easier. Let’s have a look to know how LinkedIn & Foodism serve different purposes, especially for those in the food industry.

1.      Industry focus vs. Broad scope

LinkedIn has a broad scope which is an excellent resource for professionals from almost every sector. The wide scope of the platform lets the users connect to recruiters across the globe. Individuals are free to select any industry in which they want to explore their career opportunities or to look for a switch in their existing field.

Talking about Foodism, this platform has a laser-focus towards the food industry and is designed for chefs & cooks, offering them a platform which will redirect them to opportunities they need instead of making them wade through a sea of posts and job listings.

2.      Specialised job opportunities

Undoubtedly LinkedIn has been a saviour to the masses by letting them access a wide range of options and opportunities across different industries. Amongst this, food professionals may find it daunting to sift through such a long list. They might have to spend hours filtering opportunities based on their needs.

Whereas, Foodism gives job opportunities which are specific to the food and hospitality industry. Whether you are a chef looking to work at a new restaurant or a sommelier awaiting a chance to work at a well-established fine-dine restaurant. Be it anything! Foodism has simplified everything.

3.      Broad connections vs. Tailored Networking

In all these years, LinkedIn has been a successful platform which has let people build a broad professional connection. Even food professionals can find options for this.

But, what Foodism does is – it hones in on networking and building connections only within the food industry. Here, food professionals can connect with people who understand the challenges and opportunities within the industry. The tailored connections would allow for better and more focused conversations directly related to food-related careers.

4.      Resources & content

LinkedIn has diverse content offering everything through articles regarding business updates. Considering food professionals, this content might not be relevant to their day-to-day challenges and goals.

The resources, articles and insights provided by Foodism are relevant to the food industry and are specific to the requirements of the food professionals. Be it updated food trends, new restaurant technology or chef success stories, Foodism brings everything to the table!

Both platforms have their strengths; the reason behind the vision of Foodism is the growing food market, serving as the 2nd largest employer in India. Furthermore, the industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2024–2028.
