Executive Search

Sourcing Executives takes a team of highly trained recruiters with the network and know how to find that needle in the haystack.

For over 30 years, our team of experts have helped many of the most successful hospitality and retail organizations build their senior leadership teams nationally, regionally and locally for a wide variety of needs. We know it is not enough to simply identify candidates with the right experience. Our goal is to deliver great leaders. We assess candidates based on past experiences, future potential and the cultural attributes most important to your organization. And, we do it discretely.

We know the market and have the insights. We go beyond networking with respected industry contacts to source great talent. As a result of our considerable experience, we can bring deep perspective on the competitive landscape, ideal backgrounds and sources of candidates, compensation requirements and relocation challenges.
Coupled with our team approach, this results in a search strategy that yields quicker, more positive outcomes.

We share your sense of urgency to get it done quickly, thoroughly and effectively. Consider retaining Patrice & Associates to fill your key senior positions. Also consider partnering with us to staff full locations or departments for a planned new opening, expansion, acquisition or rebuild.

What Clients Say About Patrice & Associates

    Mike Buterbaugh is genuine and caring

    I honestly didn't know what to expect from Patrice & Associates. Upon my first time speaking with Mr. Mike Buterbaugh, I was instantly put at ease with his genuine approach to helping me find the best fit for me overall in my next career decision. Not only did he coach me on how to drastically improve my resume, he also had me an interview within a couple of days. I have never had an experience quite like this during a job search, but I would definitely give 5 stars to this company and their recruiting team. I have gained a new career that not only met my salary expectations, but balances with my personal life as well. Thanks again for your help, and although I don't plan to be on a search again, if the need arises, they will definitely be my first point of contact.

    Mike Buterbaugh was AWESOME!

    I applied for a General Manager position that your company was advertising for, Mike Buterbaugh was my recruiter. He fixed my resume up and submitted it to the company I was applying for. He coached me through all three interviews and I am happy to say that I got the position! I have worked with other recruiters and only had phone interviews. Mike produced results, he was great!

    Many Thanks,

    Danny North was wonderful to work with!

    He is a constant professional. Danny helped guide me through the resume set up process along with helping me highlight some of my key attributes. He was always available when I reached out to him, whether it was by email or the phone. Danny was a great resource to have since he was once in the Restaurant Industry. It was quite honestly like working with a Restaurant Insider. Danny, I appreciate your honesty, advice and more importantly your professionalism. Thank you for your help in finding my new career.
