It will come as no surprise to those in the hospitality industry, but working with people, in general terms, can often times be quite difficult. As recruiters, our business is people, connecting job seekers with job openings and companies with employees. When you have been in the business as long as I have, you develop a sort of sixth sense when speaking with candidates and clients. You know what jobs and companies fit which personality types, work ethics, and goals. And on some occasions, you have perfect clarity. You know from the very first conversation with a candidate that you a) have the perfect job for them, and b) that they are going to get hired.<\/p>\n
When speaking with Elaine, a great restaurant manager and passionate hospitality professional, I knew very quickly that she and a local restaurant client of ours were a perfect match. I remember thinking “if she reliably shows up to these interviews and can just be herself, she’s going to get hired”. While I was sure of this, the reliability and dependability of people is something outside my control. But, Elaine did not disappoint! We spoke at all of our scheduled times, she aced every interview with flying colors, and she got the job just as I knew she would!<\/p>\n
As much as I enjoyed working with Elaine, she had good things to say about the process herself:<\/p>\n
I would like to thank Frank Rondeau for leading me through all the steps required to land\u00a0 a great job opportunity. Frank took the time to ask questions about my career goals and personal plans to create a personal resume, based on my career and work experience, in order to connect me with a great job fit for myself- and for my future employer. The end result was getting my interview process handled, and giving me appropriate advice on how to handle the interview for it to be successful… and it sure was. Thank you Frank and Patrice and Associates for helping me get started on this exciting next chapter of my life!<\/p>\n

To be completely transparent, the most frustrating part of being a recruiter is that people can be surprisingly and spectacularly unreliable. So when a solid and dependable candidate like Elaine comes along, the entire process becomes refreshingly fun and rewarding. The reason I got into this business was to make a living by helping employees and employers connect. While I view this profession as a somewhat noble pursuit, it sometimes can be exhausting and disappointing. But the opportunity to work with great candidates, like Elaine, and to help guide them to the next exciting chapter in their lives, is exactly what keeps me motivated day in and day out!<\/p>\n
