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
The experience was excellent. Our recruiter spent the right amount of time understanding the role requirements, which led to the right candidate.
We worked with a few other recruitment companies before working with yours and your company by far was the best.
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.
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.
Kristin was excellent to work with. She was responsive, professional, and consistently delivered high-quality candidates. We were very impressed with the talent she presented and would gladly work with her again for future executive-level searches.
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!
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.
I enjoyed the time working with your team. They were always available – nights, weekends, etc. and did a great job understanding the circumstances of the role. Should the need arise in the future, we would definitely consider using Horizon again. If you’re ever out in Vegas, let me know. It would be great for you to experience the restaurant.
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!
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.
