What Clients Say About Patrice & Associates

Hospitality Recruiter Helps Find Me a Job!
Chris Giles was very helpful throughout this whole process. First he helped me get my resume polished to send off, he was very patient with me during this. I was very busy with my job search and interviews, but he always made sure to follow up if I didn't get something back to him and was always patient with me. Once we had my resume updated he got it sent off and set up my interviews, he was very helpful in coaching me and making sure I was prepared for the interview. Chris was always there to answer any questions I had and touched base frequently as we were waiting to hear back about things certain things. If I hadn't heard back from one of the hiring departments he would contact them and I would hear from them later that day. Now after getting hired and starting the training program he checks in with me weekly to see how things are going and provides a listening ear if I need to vent about anything. He has been very encouraging and has helped me be more confident going through this hiring process. Thank you Chris!

Chris Giles did a wonderful job in helping me with my transition. He was well-informed about the job and client, kept me in the loop with any updates, and was very quick to get back to me with any questions that came up. He always made time for me, and I never felt rushed during our interactions. His follow-up as I have adjusted to my new position has also been very much appreciated. It is rare to see someone in this industry focus on the long-term relationships rather than the next transaction. I am proud to have worked with Chris, and highly recommend his services.
