Our Story
Over 27 Years of Hospitality Search
Founded in 1998, Horizon Hospitality was created to solve one problem: executive and management hiring in hospitality was underserved. Other recruiters didn’t understand the nuances of guest experience, back-of-house operations, or multi-site F&B. We built a firm that does.
Today, we’re the search partner of choice for thousands of hospitality employers, from luxury resorts to high-growth franchise groups. Horizon Hospitality has been ranked by Forbes for three consecutive years as one of America’s Best Professional and Executive Recruiting Firms.

What Our Clients & Candidates Say
It was our goal to do a coast-to-coast search for a potential executive for the company. The candidates that Horizon Hospitality provided were excellent and were indeed from Florida to California and many places in-between. We had some fairly unique needs and Horizon listened and provided what we asked for and more. The Horizon staff was attentive, professional and possessed great communication skills that helped us wade through the many areas of an executive hire.
We are thrilled with our selection and Horizon greatly assisted us as we reviewed candidates from across the country. The technology used saved time and money. Our committee gained valuable insight into the CVB culture, which proved to be crucial for selecting the right candidate.
Alissa was truly wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She brought such a warm, professional, and positive presence to every interaction, while also staying incredibly organized and results-driven. She made the hiring experience feel seamless and was always communicative, thoughtful, and proactive along the way. Most importantly, she genuinely cared about helping us find the best possible candidate and was a fantastic partner throughout the search. We are incredibly grateful to have had her in our corner and would absolutely recommend working with her.
Alissa was a pleasure to work with. She was timely, professional, and had a great understanding of what we were looking for. We feel we’ve found a great fit for our company and are very pleased with our experience overall.
Working with Horizon has ended our search for a VP of Human Resources as a small, yet growing brand. At every turn, we were presented great candidates, transparent communication from our recruiter, and excellent hiring results. We will continue to utilize Horizon’s expertise as we scale, and recognize their value to our growing organization.
I have worked in HR for over 25 years, 10 of which were in the pharmaceutical industry which is highly reliant on outsourcing recruitment. Kristin was the best recruiter that I have ever worked with. She was highly organized and systematic. I loved the tools that she used to communicate to both myself and the candidates. The format she uses for presenting candidates was very clear and provided the details that were relevant to me.
I could not have been more pleased with the experience of working with Kristin and Horizon Hospitality as a whole. The database of candidates that you have compiled lead to prompt identification of quality candidates.
In my first experience with Horizon … the team took the time to understand exactly what we needed. I was only sent great candidates and chose one that I could have never found without their help!
Horizon Hospitality went above and beyond in our search for a new GM. Through many unforeseen circumstances (especially COVID), they completed the search, provided outstanding candidates to choose from and helped us to secure the finalist. Scott was very professional and thorough – always returning calls promptly and predicting our needs as we went through the process. I would highly recommend their firm for your club needs.
I have really enjoyed working with the Horizon team on the recruiting/placement of TWO candidates for our Marketing team. We really were only looking for one, but with the incredibly high quality of candidates and the EXACT experience and knowledge we were seeking, we cannot pass up 2 great people that were presented to us. They really took the time to learn our company and research exactly what we need. You would think that the recruiter had worked for our company for years the way he has jumped in and handled this process for us. I can’t wait to work with the Horizon team on future key positions!
I loved the way Horizon Hospitality presented its candidates and how fast we accomplished our common goal. Great experience overall!
