Let Us Do The Heavy Lifting For You

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 owners 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.

Operators search for managers for different reasons.

  • Replacement
  • Growth
  • Bench strength / upgrade
  • New position

Operators also search for management in several different ways. All have advantages and disadvantages. One method is using an executive search firm to assist in finding the most qualified candidate for the position.

Search firms will have a much broader reach to attract and locate qualified candidates. That is what they do all day, every day. A good firm will partner with the operator and really try to understand the profile of the position not just the skills and experience, but the intangible qualities as well.

The negative aspect to using a recruiter is the perceived expense. If the operator puts a value to his/her time, the expense versus the results is very small and well worth it. If you do decide to use a search firm, make sure you interview the recruiter and check references.
