The seats we fill

The ones that take longer to fill.

These people often are not applying. Someone has to find them and ask. We do that, and we screen them before your team spends time.

Kitchen and food

Executive chef. Director of food and beverage.

Operations

SVP and VP of operations. General manager, including for a new opening.

Sales and revenue

Director of sales. Revenue leaders. In New York postings, this is the most senior function we see.

How we work

Start small. Grow if it helps.
