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.

Testimonials
What Our Clients & Candidates Say
Thank you all for the first class experience we received on behalf of your organization. Your attention to detail and timely communication simply reinforced our initial decision to solicit the services of Horizon Hospitality! We look forward to working with our future club manager.
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.
I am so happy that I was reached out to by your team on LinkedIn. This has been a great partnership and have loved the quality of employees you have found for our company so far. Looking forward to a long-term partnership with you.
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.
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.
I was referred to Horizon Hospitality by my former SVP of HR of the last company I worked at. When I made contact with her and described what I needed, she immediately recommended Horizon based on her past experience. Given that recommendation, I made contact with the Horizon team. We were able to go from the start of the search to making an offer that was accepted in about thirty days. I would highly recommend Horizon Hospitality.
Horizon Hospitality helped us find the best general manager we have had in 7 years of operating. Eric Stuertz, the Recruiting manager was available whenever we needed him. Did I mention we did this hiring during a global pandemic, the week of Thanksgiving? Amazing job by Eric and his team!
The recruiters listened, were thorough, presented quality candidates and were extremely prompt in scheduling and follow up. Not to mention fun to work with!
I believe in their product. Their ability to be successful while maintaining loyal clients is evident after speaking with some the employees. The hospitality industry is stronger because Horizon Hospitality places the best people in the right positions.
We had a really hard time finding qualified candidates during our most recent search, and turned to Horizon in an attempt to speed up the process. They somehow managed to get several quality prospects through their connections in this area (SWFL). It didn’t take long to identify the person we wanted to hire and we are very pleased with the results!
