I recently interviewed a candidate in a room so thick with ego, I could almost smell it – it was practically dripping off the walls! You know that feeling, right? When there’s so much self-importance in the air, you’re just waiting for it to collapse and land on your head. Here’s the thing: there’s a […]

This moment hasn’t led me to something new, but back to what truly matters: the heart of hospitality. When I first entered this industry, it was the love for people and the thrill of discovery that drew me in. Now, as a self-employed professional running my own recruitment and coaching agency, my purpose has deepened:

Now that’s a true nightmare! We’ve all seen the Hashtag #OpenToWork banners, but maybe LinkedIn should introduce a Ghosting banner for those recruiters who vanish on candidates like a phantom after they interview them. Ghosting in recruitment is the real horror story! If you’re leaving candidates stranded in the dark forever, like ghosts lost in

  After more than one decade of interviewing chefs, working elbow-to-elbow with them, I’ve watched the industry transform. The way we approach food and hospitality? It’s a whole new game. Shall we take a bite out of what’s next? Once upon a time, we gathered. We ate, we drank, we celebrated. Food was fuel, drinks

Because it’s in tune with where the world is heading! An Executive Vice President, People and Culture, came to me very frustrated with his recruitment needs.

Yes, you read that right. As a recruiter, I had no choice but to break the myth that a CV tells the full story. Some of the world’s most remarkable CEOs and C-level executives? Their CVs wouldn’t blow you away—they don’t exactly scream ‘top executive’. Yet, they’re at the top. Why? Because their success isn’t

Not because of our previous efforts to win them over, but because they were inspired by a story they heard about how we helped someone else. Feel that? That’s the power of storytelling. The strongest marketing in 2024? Stories that make people feel they’re part of something larger than themselves. It’s the same in hospitality—guests

A candidate recently shared a story with us, reflecting on an overwhelmingly difficult decision he’s currently facing with another recruitment agency and a potential new employer they introduced him to. Over a year ago, the candidate was introduced to the recruitment’s trusted hotel partner. The connection was immediate, and the match seemed poised for success.

Whether you’re a chef, CEO, or somewhere in between, if you’re struggling to find the right role, stand out, or achieve balance, you’re not alone. Feeling lost in the noise? The world is changing fast, and it’s easy to feel stuck. But here’s the truth: You don’t have to navigate this alone. With 25+ years
