Why Use an Executive Search Firm?
The restaurant and hospitality industry generates close to $ 3 trillion in revenue annually and employs over 20% of the private sector work force. Sudden shifts in consumer demand and market trends force the owner's of today's hospitality and restaurant businesses to make strategic decisions quickly and intelligently to sustain their market share or ultimately lose it to their competitors.
Gary & Geordy believe that many of the highly skilled individuals you seek currently hold key positions with other successful companies and are not actively pursuing a change in employement through the traditional channels. Hospitality Pro Search can find these "Game-breakers" who can make a difference in you company. HPS only recruits in the Hospitality Industry.
Hospitality Pro Search specializes in all levels of management recruiting for Country Clubs, Restraurants, Hotels & Resorts, Nightclubs and Casinos. We concentrate on finding, recruiting and presenting the most qualified candidate the old fashioned way, through personal relationships and professional contacts. We have an experienced team to help you get the job done. As an operator you have a million different priorities every day. At HPS all we do is research and identify the most qualified candidates for our clients. Our clients have enjoyed tremendous success through our ability to provided effective and thorough executive search services.
Hospitality Pro Search's process of qualifying a candidate includes phone screening and face to face interviews where possible. If our client wish we will also conduct background checks, reference checks and credit reports. We know as much as we can about the candidate and the candidate knows as much as he/she can about the client before we present their resume. We stand behind every candidate that we submit, as each candidate is a direct reflection of our understanding of your needs. It is our desire to work side by side with our clients to help fill all their management needs.
At some point in time in every operator's career, they find themselves in need of a "Game-breaker" to take their business to the next level. Geordy and Gary can help find the right manager for the right situation. If and when you find yourself in that situation, give us a call - We'll get right on it.
