Patrice & Associates Hospitality Recruitment – perfect work from home opportunity for veterans! More than 5,600 veterans have become franchisees in the past four years, according to the International Franchise Association. That’s thanks in no small part to the organization’s VetFran program, through which some 650 member companies offer discounts, […]
Almost every month the Jobs Report is great news for recruiting. As the labor pool shrinks because unemployment is so low, the need to find top talent is often outsourced to Executive Search agencies. Additionally, the baby boomers are starting to retire and the millennial’s are having fewer children and […]
What is this world coming to! I have seen many changes since I started Patrice & Associates without an internet. Our big innovation was fax machines! You may have seen this video on the internet. Think about the last time you interviewed a candidate. What was your first initial reaction […]
Franchise Ownership can change your life. I talk to lots of people over 50 that are looking at business ownership options because priorities in life change. They want more control, work/life balance, and to create wealth and a legacy for themselves. Of all the reasons to start at business after […]
Finding a job can feel overwhelming, especially in a competitive job market where new job postings appear every day and other job seekers are applying just as actively as you are. Whether you’re a recent graduate looking for your first job, making a career change, or searching for your next […]
I find it interesting how restaurants are moving more into the seafood category on their menus. Living my life on the Chesapeake Bay I can’t bring myself to order “Maryland Crab Cakes” in another state … like the midwest. Not so long ago those who didn’t live near the water […]
“Lifestyle dieters” want choices in where they eat which often makes it difficult for restaurants to recruit managers that understand that concept. Just when gluten-free has begun to be manageable for most QSRs to safely serve for both customers who must refrain from gluten, along with those who simply opt […]
As a recruitment agency we see all kinds of situations. It has been amazing to watch what people do on interviews. I had a candidate that was interviewing with Panera Bread who walked into the interview with a Starbucks coffee! There was a candidate who was finishing up chewing his […]
Throughout the years of recruiting, I’ve seen the “style” become more and more casual. When interviewing for a job you have make sure you “look” the part of the job you are applying for. It should go without saying that the interview is the first and only chance you’ll get […]
I wasn’t looking. I was genuinely happy in my role and had no plans to make a move. But Brian reached out with an opportunity that gave me pause, and that’s not easy to do.
What stood out was that he clearly understood who I was and what my next step could look like. He wasn’t casting a wide net. He brought me something specific, at a level that matched where I was headed, with an organization whose values aligned with mine, and he made a compelling case for why it was worth a conversation.
I accepted a General Manager position overseeing a collection of luxury oceanfront properties in Maine, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead. It takes real skill to find the perfect match at exactly the right moment. Brian did exactly that, and I cannot thank him enough.
Thank You,
Melissa S.

I first met Casey back in August of this year. At the time, I wasn’t actively seeking a job change, but Casey’s open and relaxed approach encouraged me to explore the opportunity he presented. We discussed the available position and the possibility of me applying. When I felt the timing was right, Casey guided me through the details of the company so thoroughly that I felt like I already knew the property and many of the people working there.
His encouragement and insights helped me breeze through the interview process and even enjoy touring the property. It was, by far, the easiest and most enjoyable interview experience I’ve ever had. With Casey’s support, I felt confident I had the job before I even stepped foot on the property for my first tour.
I thought I had my dream job at my previous property, but I now realize I’m truly in my dream role—with the most amazing team I could ask for. As I’ve told Casey, I’ll forever be grateful for the role he played in placing me here. He’s a true rock star and an invaluable asset to Patrice & Associates.
A huge THANK YOU to Casey Chapman and the entire team of Patrice & Associates!
Warmest Regards,
Danielle S.

You’re a true star of hospitality!

Casey Chapman was instrumental in helping me find a new job after a sudden layoff. He was professional and easy to talk to from the beginning. He passed along my information to a company I was excited to work with, then helped me prepare for my subsequent interviews. He was transparent every step of the way. It was a pleasure working with him, and I would recommend him if you need help finding a new job.

Happy Sunday to you and would love to sing the praises of Brian! Appreciating I will be starting with a new company and would first like to “feel things out”, is it possible to resend this email (as a reminder) in a month or two once I get settled?
