Food Service

Finding leadership for your food service organization just got easier.

Food service is one of our specialties, so when you partner with Patrice & Associates, you get the benefit of our decades of expertise. You also get our network of expert recruiters who will find a GREAT team member for you fast. Whether your need is for operations and food service managers on-site or corporate management, including sales, VP, and executive placement in district, regional, and corporate offices, Patrice has been serving food service brands, including grocery stores, convenience stores, stadiums, airport concourses, along with hospitals, assisted living facilities, and more. Plus, the biggest suppliers in food service are clients too. Truly, no matter the department, we’ve staffed it. That goes for operations, customer service, culinary, learning, HR, procurement, marketing, finance, IT, and sales. Those are just a few. The key is finding people with the right blend of skills, experience, attitude, and work ethic that fit your company and culture.

Looking for a food service hiring match is no longer a shot in the dark.

When you put Patrice on your staffing project, you’ve tapped into a hiring process that delivers quality candidates quickly. Yes, we know that in the food service business, time is of the essence! Of course, you can tell us about the position and your vision for the perfect candidate. But many of our client companies are happy to get our guidance. That’s part of our service to you. Let us help you write your job descriptions, weigh in on hiring strategy and provide insights into the labor market. That’s what we mean by partner!

Are you a regional, national, or international brand? You’ve found the perfect staffing and recruiting fit.

Forget the hassle of multiple recruiters in multiple cities. You don’t have time for that. When you partner with us, you make one call to your local recruiting office, where your very own Patrice Pro will find those ideal candidates—no matter how many you need or for how many locations—across the US and Canada. Isn’t it a relief to know that multiple recruiters and territory restrictions are not part of the process? One call, that’s all it takes!

Our pipeline of top performers is ready and waiting.

Over 700,000 exceptional candidates, many in food service, are on our radar, and one of them might just be the person you’re looking for. In addition, our recruiters constantly call competitors to find the perfect match who will be a fit with your brand. Until that happens, we don’t rest! Your job order is filled through relationships, not by posting it online and hoping for the best. Let us do the legwork to find, screen, and present the top talent you deserve!

Working with James Schwinghammer has been a warm and welcoming experience especially compared to other bigger talent recruiting agencies I've worked with.

James at Patrice and Associates was not transactional based - he really took the time to listen to learn about you, your company, and the type of individual you're seeking. This was immediately apparent in my working relationship with James. The beginning was a process in which we became acquainted, James listened to the type of person I am, what I'm trying to do with my business, and took all that in consideration when I told him the type of person I was looking for. Recruiting agencies will often look for that experience within a candidate, but James went above and beyond to not only find someone with the right experience but also someone with the right attitude and cultural mix with ours. It's almost like a match making service! Alex Lu

James was a true professional! 

From to the first time we spoke, he knew the right questions to ask to help me refine my presentation.  He kept me informed every step of the way of my interview process and followed up after my employment started.  He deserves all my thanks.

I would like to thank Patrice & Associates for their dedication in finding me a new career opportunity! I had the pleasure of working with James Schwinghammer and would highly recommend any one looking for a new start to work along side of him finding the perfect fit. He was willing to assist in any resume adjustments or creating a new one, but the most important thing to me was him listening to my interests, concerns and staying dedicated to finding a good fit for me. I was very happy to work with this team and would suggest you can give them a call to start a new adventure! - Joseph Lee   Patrice & Associates can help improve your interviewing skills

Recruiters can change your life.

I worked with James Schwinghammer on my job search that eventually landed me at Mellow Mushroom. James was fantastic to work with.  He always was in contact and very much a huge support. While I understand the companies pay James and he works for them to fill their need but he made it feel like he was working for me the entire time.  He was just awesome!!! Thanks, Scott Gerlach
