Horizon was wonderful to work with, very professional at all times. I would not hesitate to work with this group in the future.
The recruiting team at Horizon were all so pleasant to work with. Every candidate they sent us seemed like “the one”. I’m very impressed with their organization and am so happy with the service I received from Horizon.

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.
It was such a pleasure working with the team at Horizon Hospitality. They found us a great candidate in the exact time frame they promised. They’re service was excellent and they made the entire process simple. Thanks especially to Jennifer and Leigh Ann for a job well done. Will absolutely work with them again in the future.
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 went above and beyond in our search for a new GM. Through many unforeseen circumstances (especially COVID), they completed the search, provided outstanding candidates to choose from and helped us to secure the finalist. Scott was very professional and thorough – always returning calls promptly and predicting our needs as we went through the process. I would highly recommend their firm for your club needs.
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!
Horizon was a pleasure to work with in our recent search for General Manager. Professional, accurate with information, and timely.
In my 30+ years of working in the Hospitality sector and using multiple recruiting agencies, Horizon Hospitality was by far the easiest and most complete search firm that I have used. This latest process went very well and I would highly recommend them for any high level search needs that anyone would have.
Horizon Hospitality has exceeded our expectations. Given the difficult task to come up with an outstanding candidate in a very tough market, they delivered. We were provided continues updates on each step of the search. Not only did they deliver, they managed the communications flow with the candidate in an exceptional manner. As a recruiting professional with over 20 years of experience, I would strongly endorse Horizon Hospitality as a business partner for getting the job done.
