Retail and hospitality recruitment is being reimagined with the arrival of Switch Roles, a next-generation platform built by those who know the industry inside out. Created by Zac Clements and Danny Monfea of Zachary Daniels, alongside marketing expert Simon Childs of Childsey, Switch Roles is a fresh take on hiring—developed by retailers, for retailers.
The founders draw on their deep roots in the industry—ranging from managing retail powerhouses like IKEA and BHS to launching recruitment and digital marketing firms. Their practical experience has been poured into Switch Roles to ensure it caters to the sector’s specific hiring needs.
Where Talent Meets Opportunity
Switch Roles is built around people. It connects motivated job seekers with rewarding roles at leading brands, curating listings so users don’t have to sift through irrelevant options. It’s recruitment with purpose and precision.
Trusted by the Best in Retail
The platform has already partnered with renowned names including Hugo Boss, Burger King, Lidl, Footasylum, Matalan and American Golf. With 3,500+ job openings at launch, it’s proving that focused, sector-specific platforms have real value for top brands and ambitious talent.
Designed for the Way People Search
Job hunting can be an overwhelming experience. Switch Roles removes the noise by offering a smooth, easy-to-navigate interface that helps users discover roles that match their skills, interests and location—all without the usual headache.
Fuelled by First-Hand Experience
With a hands-on approach and real passion for retail, Zac, Danny, and Simon have crafted something more than just a job board. Switch Roles has already gained the backing of more than 50 investors from retail, recruitment and e-commerce, signalling strong support for its people-first vision.
