I have Over 30 years of experience in the restaurant industry. Most recently as a director of operations for Ruby Tuesday. I have worked with recruiters from both sides of the issue, both the hiring and the being hired. Recruiting is a great opportunity to really help people. The hospitality industry is a tough industry to work in and the true key to happiness is finding the right fit. The right person in the right job with the right company. A true recruiter is someone who is helpful and honest. Willing to return your correspondences and tell you the truth, not just what you want to hear. Coach you and be a mentor for you. Anyone can call people and fill job orders, a true recruiter will be honest with you and tell you the truth even when it is not what you want to hear. I have spent my career and pride myself in being honest even when honest wasn’t the “cool” thing to be. I know the hospitality industry in depth and know what it takes to be a success. A true Recruiter is someone who is an advocate for both the hiring company and the candidate. I can not imagine a better rush than when I find someone the dream job they have always wanted.

Allison Siciliano Albanese says that Michael Kunkle matched her with the best company for her!I would really like to commend Michael Kunkle on his sense of urgency and his recruiting talent! I sent my resume to many places including restaurants and offices and let me tell you, doing that on my own these days, it’s hard to get recognition. The job market is over saturated with applications, and I was lucky to get a response before the job was already closed to another interviewee. Michael Kunkle made me feel like it was 1995 all over again, he was personable, quick and to the point. I felt like I had someone on the inside to actually get me an interview before the job was closed. I had no worries, getting the interview was now no sweat!! Not only did I get the first interview he set up for me, but I got the job and was told I was the only one picked out of 12 others for that store. Michael matched me with the best company for me, almost like he’s known me my entire life! Michael has real talent, and I hope he’s well taken care of! Thank you, Michael!
