What Our Clients & Candidates Say
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.
Horizon Hospitality has resources to perform a much broader search than we ever could on our own. I appreciated our recruiter taking the time to learn about our specific needs. He was very responsive and simplified the interview process so we could concentrate on finding the right fit for our Club since all of the candidates presented were already well qualified. This allowed us to make an excellent hire who will be with us a long time. Working with him was an excellent experience which delivered results beyond expectations. I highly recommend Horizon Hospitality for your next search.
I enjoyed working with Horizon. We will gladly use Horizon again if we are in need of exceptional hospitality talent!
Horizon Hospitality handled our search with a great sense of urgency. Always professional and timely. Always looking for feedback on candidate quality. I would work with Horizon again, for sure!
We hired a Vice President of Operations. We were super happy with the full process. The team at Horizon was very accommodating and easy to work with.
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.
I truly enjoyed working with James throughout the recruiting process. He communicated frequently and effectively, keeping me informed every step of the way. This was a particularly difficult position to fill, and I appreciated his persistence and commitment to finding the right fit.
Pat, was very responsive and helpful. She made the process easy. I can’t say enough about Pat and the team and how professional they were.
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.
The experience was excellent. Our recruiter spent the right amount of time understanding the role requirements, which led to the right candidate.
