If you’ve run restaurants for any length of time, you know the pattern: a restaurant manager resigns, everyone scrambles to cover the shift, you rush the search with hasty job postings, train the new hire hard for a few months, and just when they start to feel solid in the […]
Read moreHiring in the hospitality sector has never been more complex. Restaurants, hotels, resorts, casinos, stadiums, and tourism operations often need to fill roles quickly, sometimes dozens at a time, while still ensuring every hire supports their service excellence standards, company culture, and guest experience expectations. That’s where two commonly confused […]
Read moreNot long ago, staffing in hospitality felt demanding but manageable. You posted a role, called a few people, leaned on word of mouth, and usually had a shortlist before service was at risk. Now it can feel as if every schedule is built on sand: chronic vacancies, last-minute call-outs, burned-out […]
Read moreIf your restaurant, hotel, or service operation has ever lost a manager right before a busy season, you already know hospitality recruiting doesn’t behave like “normal” corporate recruiting. Your leaders are guest‑facing and schedule‑critical, so every vacancy hits service, morale, and revenue almost immediately. The employers struggling the most are […]
Read morePicture the last time a general manager, executive chef, or front office leader resigned with almost no notice. You scrambled to post the role, asked other managers to stretch their weeks, watched overtime climb, and hoped the right résumé appeared before guest scores slipped. In restaurants and hotels, that kind […]
Read moreEvery hire in hospitality shows up in three places: your profit and loss reports (P&L), your guest reviews, and your brand’s reputation. This is especially true in luxury hospitality environments, from luxury hotels and private clubs to large restaurant groups; leaders directly influence guest experiences, operational stability, and long-term profitability.

Read moreMike Klever, who is a recruiter for Bill Bunch in KY, was great. He really helped me in every way possible. From start to finish. Some recruiters just get you set up on the interview and really don't follow up. Mike was there for me throughout the whole process. He helped me tweak my resume and highlighted my strengths. If anything, his assistance with my resume made me more marketable. I can honestly say that I couldn't have done it without him. And if I had tried it would have taken longer. I am now training at Corner Bakery Cafe to be a manager. Everything just went so smoothly that I feel like I'm dreaming. Like the floor is going to give out from under me. I will definitely utilize Mike again if I ever find myself looking for another career move.Tony Maldonado
