I had the pleasure of working with Doug Lockwood
Doug was extremely professional and was very easy to work with. He was quick to respond, made himself available anytime I had a question, and was always checking in through the entire process. He coached me through the interview process by sending over necessary documents to read over on my own time, giving pointers on the phone, and talking through details. You can tell Doug cares for each person he works with. Even after getting the job, he is still checking in to see how things are going and making sure all is going well. I would recommend Doug to anyone when looking to start their career or looking for a career change. He was a great resource to have when needed.Thanks,Tony
Doug was always there!
Doug was very kind and approachable when he reached out to me regarding this position. He was very clear, direct, and opportunistic. What I enjoyed about working with him the most was good availability. He was always there to answer any questions and he was very reliable. He changed my perception on recruiters and I am very grateful I got to work with him.I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a job!Respectfully,
Justin Back
I have recently accepted a position at a great company with the help from Doug Lockwood. Doug helped with every aspect of the interview process from checking on personal references, to updating an outdated resume, to providing me with literature to boost my confidence for my interviews. Thanks Doug! Sincerely, Anthony Renner
Doug boosted my confidence!
I would like to thank Adam and Patrice and Associates for assisting me and matching me with a great General Manager position. Adam was very helpful from his initial contact to my receiving and signing my offer letter. I appreciate the preparation and professionalism that Adam exhibited throughout the interview stage. Patrice and Associates continued to check on me even after I began my employment. Thanks very much Patrice and Associates. Terry L. Foye
Adam matched me with a great position!
After weeks of searching for a job I was contacted by Doug Lockwood. I almost did not reply. Most recruiters I have dealt with have been worthless. You speak to them once for a short interview, then you never hear from them again. Doug was wonderful. He reviewed my resume and contacted me about a position. He supplied my resume to the HR director as well as setup the interview. Before the interview Doug sent me an email with bio info on the people I would be interviewing with along with interview tips. Because of this info I knew the HR director and I shared a common background in the financial services industry which helped us build a rapport. Doug also set up the second interview again supplying info about the people I would be meeting with. He followed up with them and sent reminders to me to sent them a thank you email. After getting my new position he has checked in several times to ensure the job is a good fit. With Doug I feel like I have an agent like an actor or celebrity. I will be more than happy to work with Doug again when the time comes! Thank you, Adam Thomas
Doug Lockwood is “locked in” when it comes to outstanding service. When I didn’t think it was possible to reach my current goals he assured me I could. I also had a personal hardship which he understood fully and adjusted accordingly. He maneuvered like a professional. Which is something I hadn’t been accustomed to. Honestly, Doug’s services moved me in the direction I needed to be in. He helped me regain my focus and realize my potential again. For that I am forever thankful. I had a job, I now have a career. Thanks Doug. ——Keith Martinez /Doug changes Keith's life. /

Doug reached out to me as a stranger; how ever he soon became a close friend to me. From the first phone call he made me feel at ease and very comfortable with him. He let me know from the beginning that he was there for me in anyway. His insightful nature put me at ease and assisted with our communication so that Doug could build a comprehensive profile and resume that were the foundation of my job search. As I sit here pondering where to start listing the many talents of Doug it is hard to know where to start. From the first conversation Doug’s friendly and open personality made it easy to talk to him. During the phone calls Doug asked probing question that induced detailed answers that enabled him to build a complete picture of me for the client. He was always willing to answer any of my questions and help inspire me to be my best when ever I was at an interview. I really cannot say enough about Doug. His dedication not only to his client, but also to me, ensure a great fit between us. I think that is the best word to describe what Doug does the best and that is to ensure that there is a 'fit' between the two of us. His keen sense of understanding of what is needed by his client and 'us' the employee is what makes him an excellent recruiter. He takes the time to get to know each of us and then he is able to match the best people together. Doug did this with myself and CDS, even the interviewer was surprised how well we fit together. As a result of Doug's hard work and insight I now have my dream job and look forward to a long and eventful career. Thank you Doug for all you do, we don't say it enough. - Thank You, Glenn Davis #1 Hospitality Management Recruitment Agency

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!
