Awesome Client Testimonial!

I started working with Patrice & Associates in 2013.

 

I had had a positive experience with them early in my career and as a result, chose to reach out to them as an option for recruiting for our DC market to start with the hopes of using them on a national and/or international capacity.  Currently, they are the sole recruiter that Richard Sandoval Restaurants uses in this market and based on their performance, have begun using them for job searches in other parts of the country.

 

The experience with Patrice & Associates has been a positive one.  We operate a multitude of different concepts and styles and they have been very successful at providing the best fitting candidate for each of our individual brands.

 

Recruitment has been prompt during our job searches, the fastest being one week, and the longest 4 weeks from beginning to finish.  They generally begin providing candidates immediately, the delay often being our strategy during the interview process.

 

We have not lost any of their referrals since we started working with them.  On the contrary, we have many that are in a position to grow.

 

We have used their services for a variety of positions, and turn to them whether it is Manager, GM, Food and Beverage Director, or other FOH, BOH, administrative, or executive titles.

 

The best part of working with Patrice & Associates is the service aspect.  They are always available to speak, and are patient and understanding during the recruitment process.  We often invite their staff to our restaurants and recently they attended a pre opening event for our Toro Toro DC concept.  We view them as part of our team and we feel they treat us as such.  Many recruiters are just a team sitting behind a computer trying to snag a commission, which is not the case with Patrice & Associates.

 

The most frustrating part of working with them is not being able to see them more.  We all work too much.

Duke Witte absolutely was amazing! 

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to Duke Witte for his assistance in finding me a new job in the hospitality industry. I was disgruntled with my previous job, and I was feeling very discouraged about my prospects. I had been working in the restaurant industry for many years, and I had a lot of experience and skills, but I was having a hard time finding a better opportunity.

I was contacted via LinkedIn by Duke, and thank goodness I was.  Mr. Witte was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand my skills and experience, and worked tirelessly to find me a job that was a good fit.

Duke was also very honest and upfront with me about the job market. He didn't sugarcoat things, but also didn't give up on me. He kept me motivated and encouraged, and never gave up on finding me a job that I would love.

I am so grateful to Duke Witte and his team for their help. I am now happily employed, and I am so happy that I was able to find a job that I love. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a job in the restaurant industry. He is a true professional, and is dedicated to helping his clients find the perfect job!

Thank you again for everything!

Working with Chris Bovio made job searching so much easier! 

Not only was he available and involved in my search, but also knowledgeable regarding the position. Chris used his industry experience and recruiting network to find the best position for me and my skill set. My only regret is that my new job is so perfect for me that I won’t need to use Chris or Patrice & Associates later.

Thanks,

Bryan Curtis was fantastic to work with!

Bryan was very on top of things throughout my recruiting process to the engineering firm I accepted my position with.  I responded to his LinkedIn posting and heard back from him within 24 hours. He continually spoke with me throughout the process checking in regularly and answering all my questions. Bryan was instrumental in helping me find a great job.

Thanks!

Frank Rondeau was a really big help! 

When it came to helping me find my new job, he knocked it out of the park!  He was very honest and thorough throughout the entire process. We had multiple conversations along the way and he always checked in after interviews. Frank was amazing to work with, and I'm super excited to start my new journey thanks to him.       

Many Thanks,

Chyanne
