Most agencies treat hospitality as another vertical. We treat it as our craft. Our consultants have worked banquet floors, planned weddings, and managed member-services desks before they ever screened a resume.
A considered process built around the reality of luxury service recruitment. No CV storms, no seasonal-blind timelines.
A structured intake to capture the service standard, venue culture, seasonal cadence and the leadership qualities the role demands. Written brief follows within a business day.
We approach our network of vetted luxury hospitality talent discreetly, screen against the actual service standard, and present a ranked shortlist of three to five candidates with written notes.
We coordinate interviews around your venue calendar, structure the offer, manage counter-offer conversations and confirm start-date logistics. Follow-up check-ins at day 30 and day 90.
