Executive Search

We are constantly training managers in recruitment and selection techniques and selecting senior managers, chefs and other senior specialist staff for the hospitality businesses we work with. This puts us in an ideal position to help you find key staff for your business. Our thorough knowledge of the hospitality industry and our background in management means we can handle the whole process from evolution of the job description, right through to salary package negotiations.

To make the process of finding someone for you faster and more efficient, we have spent years evolving our own library of job advertisements, job descriptions, job aptitude test screens, interview questions and reference checking procedures. Every time we have recruited for a client, we have added to our knowledge base. This constant involvement in senior recruitment has also led us to a thorough understanding of the Australian and NZ job markets.

1. Review business plan, assess job requirements. Evolve Job Description & Person Specification.
