Since launching WHAM Hospitality Recruitment in 2019, I’ve helped hospitality businesses find the right people through a combination of targeted advertising, proactive outreach and hands-on search.

I don’t just post a job and wait for applications. I actively identify and approach people who may not be looking for a new role, but who could be a strong fit for your business. That means searching beyond the obvious candidate pool and having direct conversations with experienced hospitality professionals who might otherwise never see your vacancy.

Working across both retained and contingent searches, I’ve recruited roles ranging from Operations Manager to Sous Chef, Head Chef to Assistant Manager, and many positions in between.

If you’re short on time, struggling to attract the right people or simply want a more proactive approach to recruitment, I can manage the full process for you, from search and outreach through to screening, interviews, candidate management and offer negotiation.

My goal is to make finding the right candidate as straightforward as possible. I place equal importance on both client and candidate relationships, helping create the right fit between the person, the role and the business.

Every search starts with understanding your business, your team and what success in the role actually looks like. That allows me to assess candidates on more than experience alone, looking at leadership style, behaviours, motivation and working style alongside the technical requirements of the role.
