I can't thank Karl Busch enough!

I recently relocated to South Carolina from New York.  At first I tried the usual big company name job search engines, I even reached out to a couple of recruiters but, Karl Busch at Patrice and Associates was the guy who got it done!  His guidance and advice along the way was invaluable.  I was able to secure an Executive Chef position at a high profile restaurant thanks to him.          

Thank you!

Steven D.

Karl Busch not only knew the steps I was going to take, but he also helped me map out my future with these prospective companies.

In conversations with other professionals in the food and beverage industry, one thing is always certain to come up. The Struggle in finding good staff or better employment, especially during these trying times with the ever-consuming effects of COVID-19. I, admittedly have had countless conversations regarding the lack of talent or help in my kitchens. Recently I had found myself the opportunity to relocate my family to South Carolina. With this new adventure came the burden of finding new employment. Not just any employment, I needed a better and stable career to help support my family in a new environment and new unforetold challenges. Needless to say, this struggle during a normal time would have been hard enough as is, yet now with the pandemic, felt even more challenging. How do I start engaging conversation or even relatable table talk with companies I have no background with?

 Patrice & Associates not only opened the doors to start conversations with new companies, but they also helped me with bios on my interviewers! What an amazing tool to have at my disposal. Finally, access to information to help me personally relate to my interviewers.  Karl Bush, a recruiter for Patrice & Associates, was hands down the most professional advisor I’ve come across in my 18 years in industry. His dedication to my needs and ability to help me relate to my interviewers gave me the encouragement and support I needed to pursue my new career. Not only does this company have deep ties in the region I was looking into, but they also have a deep understanding of me, as a candidate. Karl spent much time talking and getting to know me, my family, and what exactly I needed to be and feel successful in my next employment venture. These weren’t simple “how much money do you need” talks. I mean what systems do you need in place to work comfortably, are benefits a big priority, travel time, Childcare, team size, event status, and yes even the overall flow of the environment I was stepping into.  Even now as I start my new career, he still calls up every now and again to make sure my life with the new company is going well and strong. If you have had trouble finding a good place of employment, or maybe just need a change in your life, I highly recommend Patrice & Associates, and even more so, Karl Bush. You’ll be in the best hands and on the right track to finding that perfect place for you!             Best Of Luck ~Antonio Inzillo

Hospitality Recruiters are There for You!

Back at the end of March my wife and I turned our restaurant over to our daughter and son in-law to run, with the idea we would retire. We took a couple of trips and got somethings done around the house.  By the first of July I knew the retirement life was not for me. I started filling out some applications online and just a couple days later I revived a call from Karl Busch, with Patrice & Associates, he let me know he had a position open in the area. Karl knew all my back ground was in full service restaurants and he ask if this was something I would be interested in, I let him know that I love the restaurant business and doing something different in the business is just what I needed. Karl made the phone calls and got met the interview, he really went to bat for me. After a couple weeks I am now training and really enjoying the job and the people. Karl still checks on me to see how things are going. I don’t think of Karl Busch as a job recruiter but as a friend. Thank you Karl and Patrice & Associates for believing in me, Dave Grant     #1 Hospitality Management Recruitment Agency
