Retail and hospitality do not run on office hours. Our consultants have worked in stores, on the pass and behind the bar. Shortlists arrive with the seasonality, the roster and the guest experience already understood.
A hospitality-native process. No CV storms, no candidates who cannot work weekends, no missed peak seasons.
A 30 to 45 minute call to capture the role, the site, the shift pattern, the peak-season considerations, the comp band and the start date. Written brief for sign-off before we source.
We approach our network and the active market, screen for service temperament, mobility to the site and seasonality experience, and present a ranked shortlist of three to five applicants.
Interview coordination, offer structuring, counter-offer management, start-date confirmation and 30 and 90-day post-start check-ins. Replacement cover kicks in from day one.
