Chip Upjohn, Board of Directors of Laurel Creek Country Club:
“You delivered on every date with an exceptional group of candidates…and the candidates you presented were so good we had trouble narrowing our selection down to the top three.”
Amy Orlando, Director of Recruiting of Starr Restaurants:
“I absolutely would recommend the Horizon Team. Our success has come from setting clear expectations and parameters of exactly what we are looking for in our potential chefs and managers. Scott and his team sat with me to learn about the company, what we did and did not like.”
Matthew Lewis, President & CEO of Village Shalom Retirement Community:
“You spent an inordinate amount of time upfront understanding our operation, needs, goals and organizational culture. Furthermore, Horizon continually met all of their deadlines throughout the engagement without exception. I have worked with numerous professional search firms throughout my career and I can honestly say the service we received from Horizon was second to none.”
John Cantele, Sr. VP Operations of LodgeWorks:
“I wanted to take a moment to tell you thank you and well done on the recent hires you and your team are responsible for. Earlier in the week our Regional Vice President and I were discussing how happy we were with your services. Creating strong teams are our only hope to succeed and we all feel that these recent hires move us squarely in the right direction.”
Stephen J. DeRose, CCM, General Manager of Carriage Club of Kansas City:
“We are confident that the numerous phone calls made by your team from your extensive database provided us excellent candidates to choose from. We were able to complete the search in less than 30 days and within the budgeted compensation for the position. In fact, your entire process was well planned and professionally executed. I would not hesitate to utilize your services in the future.”
Tanya Tateyama PHR, Staffing Manager of Red Lobster (Paradise Division):
“I don’t know much that I can say except that I recommend you to everyone I know. Your professionalism, the quality of candidates, and follow up are second to none. I truly appreciate the fact that you only send me candidates that meet my criteria. You personally have made me the fan of Horizon that I am.”
Lisa Anderson, General Manager of Montreux Golf & Country Club:

Steven W. Brown, Search Committee of Salina Country Club:
“Scott and his team exceeded our expectations. They turned chaos into a sytematic approach to find the best General Manager for our Club. They made it easy – true professionals!”
Michael Oprish, Search Committee Chair, Monterey CVB:
“We just completed our search for a new CEO here in Monterey, Calif. Horizon Hospitality and Dave Nolan did an excellent job in securing top candidates and finding ‘the’ candidate for our convention and visitors bureau’s top spot. Our timeline was met with efficiency and the overall experience – from interviewing top quality candidates to working through pre-employment screening – was all top notch. Our volunteer leadership greatly appreciated the work and results Horizon and Dave provided. I would recommend Horizon for any executive search opportunity.”
Teri Koerner, Executive Director, Forest Grove (Oregon) Chamber of Commerce:
“My first contact with Horizon Hospitality was an e-mail and the response was almost immediate — and they took the time to call, not just respond via e-mail. It has been a great relationship since! Once we retained Horizon, Dave Nolan did spend a day and a half here in the Pacific Northwest meeting with us and touring the area to get a personal feel for the “lay of the land”. I feel very lucky to have ‘found’ Horizon Hospitality and am happy to recommend them to others in our industry.”
Brendan England GM, Myrtle Beach:
“Working with Horizon makes searching for a candidate easy. They are professional and thorough, and effectively interview applicants finding the top candidates that fit your specific qualifications. After three successful searches with Horizon, I highly recommended you work with their team to assist you with building your own. Dave Nolan was on top of our goals from day one. He was relentless with follow-through and attention to detail; nights, weekends, didn’t matter. Dave and Horizon were fun and efficient to work with.”
Joseph Basso, MCM, CCE, General Manager/Chief Operating Officer:
“The DISC assessments were a big hit at our senior staff retreat this week. I am confident they will be a valuable tool in improving the communication and synergy among our management team.”
