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
Scott and his team exceeded our expectations. They turned chaos into a systematic approach to find the best General Manager for our Club. They made it easy – true professionals!
Alissa Thomas was with me each step of the recruiting process and she was an enormous help. Anything I needed, and I felt confident that she was more than capable of handling it well for me – which only facilitated my ease in transition when moving into this new company. She even sent a “Thank You” card! I was very pleased to see how Horizon Hospitality followed through during the whole way, always being professional and supportive. Thanks so much!
Your work at Horizon Hospitality has been excellent. You provided extremely qualified individuals for our Membership Director opening. They were well researched and the quality of your communication was fabulous. I appreciate everything you did.
I was very pleased from start to finish. The whole process was seamless. From my first conversation with Horizon, they listened to what we were looking for in our applicant. They asked great questions to clarify to make sure they understood what qualities we wanted in an applicant. We talked about the interviewing and selection process while not typical, Horizon did a great job in communicating with three of us on the candidates. They followed up after we interviewed candidates to help fine tune his selection process. I enjoyed working with Horizon and will reach out to them next time we have an open position.
Horizon Hospitality was extremely helpful in assisting our Club in finding a quality Executive Chef within a fairly short time frame. They worked efficiently and effectively while simultaneously taking the time to really understand the type of individual that would best fit our unique circumstances. Communication was great and Adam, in particular, was extremely easy to work with. I would be happy to recommend Horizon Hospitality for any of your private club leadership needs!
Truly pleased with the entire search process provided by Horizon Hospitality; professionalism, efficiency, understanding of our needs and the candidate’s profile, and most important, the successful selection of an excellent person.
Communication has been great. Your team was very responsive…We will definitely continue this relationship!
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.
Working with Horizon and Dana was amazing! The expectations and process were clear from the beginning, and any questions I had were answered quickly. Dana delivered! I’m an HRBP, and we are overly critical of recruitment. I couldn’t have done it better myself. Using Horizon Hospitality was my pocket aces! Thank you, Dana!
I would like to strongly recommend Horizon Hospitality, they have been crucial in helping Snowbird find the highest caliber of applicants and placing some of our most important roles. They are professional, timely, friendly, effective, and most importantly great to work with. It’s never been a question that Horizon has and still will always be my first choice!
