Hospitality Recruitment for a GREAT Client!
I wanted to share both a picture and account of my visit to the Bavarian Inn this past weekend- my BEST client- and partner- Imelda Leix.
I’ll try to keep this brief- but the short story is that when corporate called and asked me to take on Bavarian Inn as a client, I was excited as this is a hotel that holds a deep meaning for my family – having gone there as a child with my parents- and then bringing my own children when they were little and now. We’ve always enjoyed everything about the Bavarian Inn and Frankenmuth.
So as I began working with Imelda and team, I already had a passion for helping find the best possible people for her and the Inn, and as we fast forward through our working relationship, it goes without saying that Imelda has been the most communicative partner regarding the candidates we’ve worked through of any client I work with. Based on the foundation of that communication, we’ve worked together to help 3 candidates get hired at the Bavarian Inn over the past several months, all 3 of whom I got the opportunity to personally speak with and hear about the their positive experiences so far working for Bavarian Inn the past couple of days.
Also over the weekend I was given a tour of the entire facility and holdings so I could better understand the scope of their needs and reach, as well as hear about the characteristics and caliber of the people that work for them- much like Imelda, who has worked for the Bavarian Inn for 40 years!
Really just wanted to share this because I'm in a grateful and committed state of mind to help amazing clients like Imelda and Bavarian Inn!

My name is Michael Grass and a month ago I was out of work and looking to work in the restaurant industry. I have 35+ years experience in that field, but was not finding a lot of openings for my services. I submitted my resume to Patrice and Associates Hospitality Recruiting and was contacted by a recruiter named Ian. I cannot say enough good things about Ian and the work he put in on my behalf. He was able to get me an interview and ultimately a job at On The Border. Before I was hired he had helped me set up my resume in a very professional looking way. He coached me on the way On the Border viewed their candidates, the types of questions they could ask and although I am ultimately selling my own services to any interviewer, the amount of work he put in behind the scenes speaks very highly to Ian. I owe Ian a tremendous gratitude of thanks for all of the work he and Patrice and Associates for their recruitment efforts and for that I am forever grateful. Thank You, Michael Grass /I am forever grateful for the recruitment efforts of Patrice & Associates /
Firstly, I want to let you know my job search was not successful until I started working with my recruiter, FaLisa. Until then, my resume was not getting in right persons hands when I would apply online or in person (I was applying for upper restaurant management). FaLisa was on the ball, answered her phone/emails at all times and I can't thank her enough for getting me interviews that led me to landing a very exciting opportunity! Thanks to FaLisa for her recruitment efforts that changed my life. Thank you, Bailey Kapci
Nicole, inTom Schmitt's office, truly made the application and interview process very easy. Nicole was with me every step of the way, kept me very focused on moving forward as well as gave me uplifting words daily. I can truly say that Nicole's guidance help me land the position I was going after! Jennifer Reed
Thank you Patrice & Associates Hospitality Recruitment - Helena was great. She did all the leg work and reworked my resume to emphasize my strengths and achievements. She put me and my family in a better place and I can't thank her enough. Yours gratefully, Mark Courtney
Joe is an outstanding recruiter. I was selected for a role I would never have found while doing my own search. It turns out to be a great career move and I am looking forward to my new journey. Professional, thorough and consistently going the extra mile are just a few reasons that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Joe Siano at Patrice & Associates Hospitality Recruitment when recruiting new staff or for anyone looking for a new career change. He went above and beyond my expectations when communicating, following up and prioritizing my needs just as important as the clients. Great Job, Joe and I wish you plenty of recruitment success!

“I have worked in the food-service industry in the Corpus Christi market for 13 years. Working with Lilliam Zanatti was the edge I needed to be able to accept my dream job. Corpus Christi is an expanding market in the food-service industry, but its not without it's challenges. Ms. Zanatti assisted me with those challenges. She was professional, encouraging and often times motivating. Although I respected her time, I knew she was available anytime I needed to speak with her. She was literally there for me every step of the way and has reached out to me with words of encouragement and congratulations since accepting my new position. I highly recommend Lilliam to any individual or company looking to fill any recruiting needs. She was an absolute joy to work with, and I honestly believe that I would not have gotten my current opportunity without her." -Marc D., Culinary Manager
“Wow!!! I've never used a recruiter before now, and my first ever experience was a phenomenal one. Lilliam was always on the ball and a step ahead. Lilliam made everything silky smooth for me from day 1, upmost I am so grateful for all her expertise and advice. I'm especially thankful for her having the utmost confidence and being extremely supportive of me.” -Kena H., Restaurant General Manager
