Covid Update from Patrice Rice, CEO Founder

I've been recruiting in the hospitality industry for 30 years and have seen the restaurant and hospitality industry rebound through many crises. Once again Hospitality leads the way in the nation’s recovery. There is no question the hospitality industry has been hit the hardest but the HEALING PROCESS HAS BEGUN!

In March, restaurants and bars gained 176,000 jobs. Hospitality led the way in the March U.S. jobs report and had the largest increase of any industry, as economic activity resumes while the nationwide unemployment rate dropped to 6%.

As Restaurant/Hospitality Recruiters, we are playing a big part in re-staffing many diverse companies. Some are using their PPP money to assist with staffing their locations. It seems like every day companies are reach out to us asking for helping filling positions.

Now that the vaccine has been distributed and continues to be distributed, the “flood gates” have started to open. We are seeing a huge wave of companies opening new locations, restaffing and there are smiles of people’s faces once again.

  • They don't make 'em like David anymore!

    David Hotovy is a one-of-a-kind gem, a true professional and a genuine person.  David reached out to me via email as he saw my resume on indeed.  He contacted me to set up a time for us to speak. This was no ordinary interview he asked questions to genuinely get to know me, and my professional and personal experience.  We shared some laughs, experiences, and some goals.  Within hours David had prepared my information to submit to the client and less than 24 hours after, I had an interview.  The day of the interview David called me not only as a reminder but also to provide his support and encouragement (5 star service) which he did for both interviews that I had.  4 hours after my last interview I received an offer and David was there to help me weigh the offer against what was best for my family.  Best part, this entire process from initial contact to hire was 5 days!  Thanks to David, I am happy and continuing in my career field with a positive outlook and a raise from my previous position.  Should I ever find myself in the market for a new position or career my First and ONLY call will be to David Hotovy.  

    Thank you David for all you do!

  • My experience with Sarah Johns and Patrice & Associates was amazing! 

    From the moment I received my first phone call from Sarah, it was a very pleasant and great  experience.  I've been involved with other big name  recruiting agency's and this is the best experience I've had!  Sarah is very professional, always in communication with me during the entire process, even after my training with my new employer she has been checking in to see how everything is going.  I have nothing but great things to say about her and her company for helping me through the process of getting a new job!

    Best regards,

  • Jay Gray was great!

    I emailed Patrice & Associates on Jan 1...  Jay called me on Jan 2 @ 10am.  We briefly discussed my resume and what I was looking for.  He explained he had a few contacts that he could reach out to and give me a call if he found something.  To make a long story short he called me the following day with a possibility, I expressed interest, he reached out to the owner and we set up a time for an interview.  Basically, I was offered the job on the spot!  I realize it doesn't always happen this way but...I basically had an interview with Jay...an interview with a client and was hired in 13 days!  I know a lot of things had to go 'right' for this to happen this way, but none of it would have happened without the call from Jay...or his contacts.  He listened and sent me info on jobs that were open that I might be interested in, not jobs he wanted to 'fill'.  I truly felt that Jay and I were in this together and he was looking out for my best interest.  His level of service and professionalism was impressive.  Thanks to Jay and Patrice & Associates, I am starting the year with a new job that will allow more time with my family and a better quality of work/life balance.  

    So Grateful,

    Jody Dean

    Jay Gray was great!
