What Our Clients & Candidates Say
I absolutely would recommend the Horizon Team. Our success has come from setting clear expectations and parameters of exactly what we are looking for in our potential chefs and managers. Scott and his team sat with me to learn about the company, what we did and did not like.
Alissa was a pleasure to work with. She was timely, professional, and had a great understanding of what we were looking for. We feel we’ve found a great fit for our company and are very pleased with our experience overall.
I was referred to Horizon Hospitality by my former SVP of HR of the last company I worked at. When I made contact with her and described what I needed, she immediately recommended Horizon based on her past experience. Given that recommendation, I made contact with the Horizon team. We were able to go from the start of the search to making an offer that was accepted in about thirty days. I would highly recommend Horizon Hospitality.
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.
Working with Horizon could not have been easier. We were in a time crunch to find a GM candidate and our search was going nowhere. I contacted Horizon and within 24 hours we were on the phone discussing our needs. Within 48 hours, I had candidates in my inbox and interviews scheduled. Horizon provided a variety of candidates that were well qualified with diverse backgrounds. We were very impressed by them all. Within a week, we had an accepted offer and a candidate ready to work for us. The experience could not have been any more seamless.
I was happy that Horizon could pull such a wide range of qualified candidates in such a short turn around time, even over a holiday weekend. We were provided with enough candidates to be selective with our interview choices and were able to interview enough potential candidates to make a strategic hire that we are excited to begin working with.
The professionalism and customer care that I received from Horizon Hospitality was phenomenal. They were able to find us a great Executive Housekeeper candidate in two weeks. They communicate the process the entire time and made it a point to help us find a perfect candidate.
Horizon’s team immediately went to work to identify and present qualified candidates on both the East and West coast. Their recruiting team made sure we were satisfied with every step of the process. We would definitely consider using Horizon again because of the great experience!
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!
Thanks for your teams support over the last couple months. This was our first time using a recruiting firm and your crew did not disappoint. We look forward to working together again in the future.
