About Patricia Mayorca

AWith over 15+ years of experience in Leadership Development and Performance HR Management, I’m an accomplished team leader with a passion for empowering businesses and professionals to grow and achieve organizational and individual goals. Through my work in multinational consulting companies such as PwC and Booz Allen Hamilton, in executive positions within the banking sector in the United States, Venezuela and Mexico, I have navigated multiple organizational and country cultures exposing me to international talent development best practices from around the globe.

Pursuing my drive for matching A+ managers/ leaders with A+ companies made me join Patrice & Associates. As a Washington DC Franchise Owner and Executive Recruiter for the Hospitality and Retail industry nationwide, I bring an in-depth understanding of businesses’ human resource priorities that allow them to excel financially and exceed their targets. My hands-on approach and attitude allow me to effectively coach talented professionals to find their dream job and advance toward their specific career goals. By tapping into my multicultural and bilingual (English and Spanish) background, I offer clients a keen understanding of today’s culturally diverse job market, and acute sensitivity to guide strong candidates to be successful in the hospitality industry.

My DC office is blended into a nationwide network of recruiters who are part of more than 130 Patrice & Associates offices across North America. Patrice & Associates is the number one recruitment organization in the hospitality industry. We facilitate cutting-edge approaches, systems leveraging a data base of over 500,000 candidates and more than 1,000+ open positions to fill at any given time; with hundreds of restaurants management, hotel, casino and other hospitality jobs perfect for advancing most any career… we are your best choice for finding the career future you are seeking or talented candidate you need for your business.

My Approach

I decided to join P&A because the company is the largest and most recognized Hospitality Recruiting Agency Nationwide and the most reliable to find top talent/ candidates in the Hospitality and Retail industries. P&A represents what I was looking for in core values: Trust, Respect, Excellence and Teamwork.

As a P&A Franchise Owner, I will be able to help your company or you as a candidate meet your needs and goals and help people to live a better life.

As a client or candidate, your time is valued, and I am capable of offering you strong, quality service that allows you to rely on me to responsibly find or fill any position, manager-level and above, that you or your company need.

I will become your Staffing Partner instead of being a regular recruiter, which you can find everywhere. I have a close relationship with my clients and with my A+ candidates having conversations with them regularly and helping them right away when they need me.

Duke Witte absolutely was amazing! 

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to Duke Witte for his assistance in finding me a new job in the hospitality industry. I was disgruntled with my previous job, and I was feeling very discouraged about my prospects. I had been working in the restaurant industry for many years, and I had a lot of experience and skills, but I was having a hard time finding a better opportunity.

I was contacted via LinkedIn by Duke, and thank goodness I was.  Mr. Witte was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand my skills and experience, and worked tirelessly to find me a job that was a good fit.

Duke was also very honest and upfront with me about the job market. He didn't sugarcoat things, but also didn't give up on me. He kept me motivated and encouraged, and never gave up on finding me a job that I would love.

I am so grateful to Duke Witte and his team for their help. I am now happily employed, and I am so happy that I was able to find a job that I love. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a job in the restaurant industry. He is a true professional, and is dedicated to helping his clients find the perfect job!

Thank you again for everything!

Working with Chris Bovio made job searching so much easier! 

Not only was he available and involved in my search, but also knowledgeable regarding the position. Chris used his industry experience and recruiting network to find the best position for me and my skill set. My only regret is that my new job is so perfect for me that I won’t need to use Chris or Patrice & Associates later.

Thanks,

Nick Guarino

Bryan Curtis was fantastic to work with!

Bryan was very on top of things throughout my recruiting process to the engineering firm I accepted my position with.  I responded to his LinkedIn posting and heard back from him within 24 hours. He continually spoke with me throughout the process checking in regularly and answering all my questions. Bryan was instrumental in helping me find a great job.

Thanks!

Frank Rondeau was a really big help! 

When it came to helping me find my new job, he knocked it out of the park!  He was very honest and thorough throughout the entire process. We had multiple conversations along the way and he always checked in after interviews. Frank was amazing to work with, and I'm super excited to start my new journey thanks to him.       

Many Thanks,
