You also get our network of expert recruiters who will find a GREAT team member for you fast. Whether your need is for operations and food service managers on-site or corporate management, including sales, VP, and executive placement in district, regional, and corporate offices, Patrice has been serving food service brands, including grocery stores, convenience stores, stadiums, airport concourses, along with hospitals, assisted living facilities, and more. Plus, the biggest suppliers in food service are clients too. Truly, no matter the department, we’ve staffed it. That goes for operations, customer service, culinary, learning, HR, procurement, marketing, finance, IT, and sales. Those are just a few. The key is finding people with the right blend of skills, experience, attitude, and work ethic that fit your company and culture.
Looking for a food service hiring match is no longer a shot in the dark.
When you put Patrice on your staffing project, you’ve tapped into a hiring process that delivers quality candidates quickly. Yes, we know that in the food service business, time is of the essence! Of course, you can tell us about the position and your vision for the perfect candidate. But many of our client companies are happy to get our guidance. That’s part of our service to you. Let us help you write your job descriptions, weigh in on hiring strategy and provide insights into the labor market. That’s what we mean by partner!
Are you a regional, national, or international brand? You’ve found the perfect staffing and recruiting fit.
Forget the hassle of multiple recruiters in multiple cities. You don’t have time for that. When you partner with us, you make one call to your local recruiting office, where your very own Patrice Pro will find those ideal candidates—no matter how many you need or for how many locations—across the US and Canada. Isn’t it a relief to know that multiple recruiters and territory restrictions are not part of the process? One call, that’s all it takes!
Our pipeline of top performers is ready and waiting.
Over 700,000 exceptional candidates, many in food service, are on our radar, and one of them might just be the person you’re looking for. In addition, our recruiters constantly call competitors to find the perfect match who will be a fit with your brand. Until that happens, we don’t rest! Your job order is filled through relationships, not by posting it online and hoping for the best. Let us do the legwork to find, screen, and present the top talent you deserve!
Darla Donovan is by far the best recruiter I have had the pleasure of working with.
I have used recruiters in the past, but none even came close to the level of professionalism that Darla showed. She was very in depth with me regarding the position as well as the expectations of the company I was applying for. She provided me with great interview tips as well as coached me through the process. I believe she was very thorough in preparing me for the interviews as well as giving me a lot of information on the company itself.She has been a real pleasure to work with and I would certainly recommend her to anyone in the industry that needs someone to look out for their best interests. I appreciate her support and coaching throughout this process. She has reached out several times since I accepted the offer, just to see how I am doing and to check in on me. That's something I have NEVER experienced with a recruiter and appreciate her thoughtfulness. She also sent a card congratulating me on the new position! She is a wonderful person and a great recruiter!!Thank you for everything!Amy Kiker
Rick was amazing!
He never stopped working to help me get this position. I would not have this job if it was not for him. He walked me through every step, gave great tips and advice, and followed up with the company throughout the process to make sure everything was good. I will never be able to thank him enough for this. I will send anyone I know who needs help finding a job to Rick Kallsen with Patrice & Associates!!Thank you all!!!!!Chris Haynes
I had a wonderful experience working with Rick Kallsen. Rick was extremely responsive and resourceful from the beginning to the end of the recruiting process. Rick was positive and encouraging and gave me the appropriate tools to help me do my best during the interview process. He was extremely clear on timelines and expectations and continuously checked in to keep me up to date. Rick was with me every step of the process and I truly appreciated having him in my corner. I could not have landed this new role without his support and knowledge! Thank you! Jennifer Saperstein
Matt was awesome!
My experience with Matt at your firm was awesome. He actually had two positions lined up for me in one weeks time. I had an interview and got the position!
Thank you, Jennie
Rick was extremely helpful throughout the process!
I am very pleased to accept my new position. Rick Kallsen contacted me through LinkedIn about the opportunity and was extremely helpful through the process. Our initial phone interview proved that Rick was invested in connecting me to the new employer. He followed up with me after every interview and provided me with helpful tactics through the process, such as an updated resume, interview tips and thank you letter examples. I felt he really cared about my progress through the process and was genuinely happy for me after receiving the offer. I am very appreciative to Rick and Patrice & Associates and would recommend him to anyone pursuing a new career. Best regards, Scott Sauder
