What the Hospitality Industry Says About Us
The entire team at Horizon Hospitality is professional and effective. Always responsive and good to work with, I really enjoy our partnership.
We were very satisfied with the candidates submitted. Our recruiter really took the time to understand our role and our business. We were so happy with Kristin that we kicked off another search and hope to continue partnering with her in the future!
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.
Our recruiter was particularly engaged and involved. He kept in touch regularly and was very easy to reach when needed.
Thank for doing a great job on this search. Your support, diligence, and responsiveness throughout this process has been tremendous….well done and thank you!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
