Why Hospitality Leaders Partner with Patrice & Associates: Your Competitive Edge in Talent Acquisition

In the hospitality industry, your people are your brand. From general managers and executive chefs to front-of-house leaders and corporate executives, the individuals you hire directly shape your guest experience, brand reputation, and bottom line.

At Patrice & Associates, we know hospitality is more than just a job — it’s a culture, a business driver, and a daily pursuit of excellence. With over 30 years as North America’s leading hospitality recruiting firm, we’re not just another staffing agency — we’re your strategic partner in building high-performance teams.

Hospitality Is in Our DNA

Unlike generalist recruiting firms, hospitality is our core focus — not an add-on. Our recruiters are industry insiders — many are former restaurant managers, hotel executives, or food service professionals.

We know what makes a great leader, how to spot potential, and what it takes to thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. Whether you’re a national restaurant group, a boutique hotel, or a global food service brand, we deliver candidates who are ready to perform and grow with your business.

We Find the Talent Others Can’t

The best hospitality professionals aren’t searching job boards — they’re busy working. We tap into our proprietary databases, conduct targeted outreach, and leverage deep industry intelligence to engage passive candidates who are open to the right opportunity — not just any job.

The result? You get pre-screened, highly qualified, and culturally aligned candidates who are ready to contribute from day one.

Speed and Quality — No Compromise

A vacant management or executive role can affect service quality, employee morale, and revenue. We get it — that’s why our process is built for both speed and precision.

We deliver qualified candidates quickly — often within days — and never waste your time with unfit resumes. You’ll receive fully vetted candidates with detailed profiles, interview insights, and a clear fit assessment for your team and brand.

We’re Not Just a Vendor. We’re Your Recruiting Partner.

Our approach is relationship-driven, not transactional. We operate as an extension of your team, aligning with your brand values, business goals, and operational needs.

Whether you’re expanding into new markets, rebuilding a leadership team, or tackling high-turnover roles, we’re with you every step of the way. We support:

• Single-unit operators

• Fast-growing franchises

• National restaurant and hotel chains

• Contract food service providers

• Resorts, casinos, and more

All with customized recruiting solutions built around your unique business.
