The Real Cost of a Slow Search

What does that open role actually cost your organization?

20%+
Guest-satisfaction drop under a vacant GM seat
Service slips, staffing wobbles, and reviews suffer when no one owns the property. The revenue impact compounds with every soft week.
$8,000+
Per month absorbed per unfilled leadership seat
A GM or F&B director near $95K runs about $8,000 a month. Every month open is service quality, cost control, and team morale left without an owner.
2-3 weeks
Window before a strong candidate accepts another offer
Proven hospitality leaders move fast and field multiple offers. A slow process loses them to a competing property.

How It Works

From open role to placed hire in three steps

01
Discovery call

We learn your organization, the role, and what a strong candidate actually looks like in your environment. 15 minutes. No fluff.

02
Active sourcing

We go direct to passive candidates - professionals who are not on job boards but are quietly open to the right opportunity. This is where most searches fail.

03
Shortlist review

You receive 3-5 pre-screened candidates. No stacks of resumes. No wasted interviews. You meet candidates who have already been qualified against your specific criteria.

What You Get

Three things every organization wants - and most placement firms do not offer

Bonus 01No contingency fees. Ever.

Common objection: "We already work with contingency recruiters."

Milestone-based pricing replaces the standard 20-25% contingency fee. Total cost is roughly 50% less. For a $95,000 general manager placement, that difference is $9,500-$14,250 kept in your budget versus a contingency arrangement.

Bonus 0245-day replacement guarantee at no charge.

Common objection: "What if the placement doesn't work out?"

If the hire does not work out within 45 days of their start date for any performance-related reason, we conduct a replacement search at no additional charge. Our guarantee is longer than most contingency firms and is built into every engagement.

Bonus 03A curated shortlist. Not a resume stack.

Common objection: "We have used recruiters before and wasted time on bad candidates."

You will not sort through 20 resumes hoping one sticks. Your dedicated search specialist builds a shortlist of 3-5 candidates who have been screened against your specific criteria. You only meet people who are genuinely qualified. The first interview is a real conversation, not a screening exercise.

The Math on Waiting

Every week that role stays open is a decision you are making.

A vacant leadership seat does not just create gaps in the schedule. It lets service quality slip, loosens cost control, and pushes the team toward turnover. A general manager seat open for 90 days can cost a property soft reviews, rising labor costs, and roughly $24,000 in absorbed overhead before a hire is made.

The Talent Window

The best candidates are only available for a few weeks.

The best hospitality leaders are employed, running strong operations, and recruited constantly across brands. When one opens up to a move, the decision window is two to three weeks, and the offer usually comes from whoever reached them first. A posting-and-waiting search misses that person every time.

No commitment. We will tell you exactly what we can do for your search and what it costs.

FAQ

Common questions

What roles do you place?

General managers, food and beverage directors, executive chefs, operations managers, revenue managers, and other leadership roles across hotels, resorts, restaurants, and venues.

How is this different from a staffing agency?

We are not a staffing agency. This is direct permanent placement with milestone-based pricing. You hire the candidate directly. We are not placing temps or contractors.

How does milestone-based pricing work?

Payments are tied to defined milestones in the search process rather than a lump-sum contingency fee at the end. Total cost is roughly 50% less than a standard contingency arrangement. Exact structure is covered on your discovery call.

What does the 45-day guarantee cover?

If the placed candidate does not work out within 45 days of their start date for any performance-related reason, we conduct a replacement search at no additional charge.

How quickly can you start a search?

Typically within one week of your discovery call. We begin active sourcing immediately after alignment on the role profile and compensation range.
