Testimonials
What the Hospitality Industry Says About Us
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.
Our experience was exceptional, and I am thrilled with our hire! Horizon was very thorough, really understood my needs, and VERY timely with all communication. I can’t say enough good things about him. I would be happy to be reference and speak to your future clients and elaborate on my exceptional experience with the Horizon!
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 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.
The experience with everyone at the company was extremely positive and I am delighted to work with folks who truly care about the needs of their clients. They were very thorough in the pre-screening process and were 100% focused on finding just the right candidate for me.
Great experience! We will definitely use HH again as our industry continues to rebound from the pandemic.
This was our first time using a recruiting company since downsizing and outsourcing/supplementing what was in-house HR. Horizon was very systematic and thorough in their introduction to the process and team. We were most impressed with their ability to find quality candidates quickly, in a market that is not flush with talent. I would strongly urge investing in Horizon as a resource for identifying and employing foundational team members.
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.
We were pleased with the quality of candidates produced and the entire process as a whole. The recruiter did excellent work and we were impressed by your company. The recruiter’s communication skills and professionalism were very apparent, and we really enjoyed his sincerity. We believe that the candidate we hired is going to be a great fit for us, and I do not believe we would have found him without Horizon’s help!
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.
