Testimonials
What the Hospitality Industry Says About Us
I have really enjoyed working with the Horizon team on the recruiting/placement of TWO candidates for our Marketing team. We really were only looking for one, but with the incredibly high quality of candidates and the EXACT experience and knowledge we were seeking, we cannot pass up 2 great people that were presented to us. They really took the time to learn our company and research exactly what we need. You would think that the recruiter had worked for our company for years the way he has jumped in and handled this process for us. I can’t wait to work with the Horizon team on future key positions!
Our recruiter was very thoughtful and conscientious. We really feel that he invested himself into the process and cared that he was presenting us with candidates that would be the perfect fit for our company. The recruiter and Horizon Hospitality made hiring our new Director of Operations, not only stress-free, but fun and exciting.
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.
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!
It was very personable, and I was kept well informed of the progress of my opportunity.
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.
I loved the way Horizon Hospitality presented its candidates and how fast we accomplished our common goal. Great experience overall!
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!
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.
Horizon Hospitality assisted us in the search for an Executive Chef. They were a pleasure to work with and presented several qualified candidates, one of whom we hired. They took the time to understand our needs and have a thorough and professional approach towards recruitment.
