Did you know our North American database has over 700,000 exceptional candidates, many with restaurant management and operations experience? We might start there, but recruiters constantly call competitors to find the experienced all-star who will plug in easily with your brand.

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

"James made me feel like he was ONLY working with me"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
