What Our Clients & Candidates Say
My first contact with Horizon Hospitality was an email and the response was almost immediate — and they took the time to call, not just respond via email. 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.
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.
Great experience! We will definitely use HH again as our industry continues to rebound from the pandemic.
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!
Horizon Hospitality continually provides excellent candidates for our business. They are engaged from the start, getting a thorough understanding of the positions we are recruiting for, and then screening effectively to make sure we just have the best to choose from. Because of their diligence and understanding of our needs, we don’t have to conduct nearly as many interviews to find the right people for our open positions. I would highly recommend Horizon as a business partner for anyone’s recruiting needs in the hospitality industry.
The Horizon Team was great to work with. They took the time to understand the specifics of our organization really helped find a culturally aligned candidate.
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.
The entire team at Horizon Hospitality is professional and effective. Always responsive and good to work with, I really enjoy our partnership.
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.
Kristin Page, our contact person, was amazing. We had 4 very viable candidates, who were local, within 10 days. We had been searching for months. Kristin helped us through the online interview process, the in-person interviews, and finally the negotiation process. She was always there, be it after hours or during the weekend. Hopefully, we will not be needing your services for a General Manager for 15 or 20 years, but if a need arose Horizon Hospitality would be my first call.
