Our method

A curated agency, not a job board.

We are a curated recruiting agency, not a job board: there are no open applications, and candidates and employers are never put in direct contact without consent and founder approval.

How our method works

Our fee

Simple and paid only on a placement.

  • Registering is free for employers and candidates.
  • 20% is due only when the candidate and the employer sign the employment agreement for the placement.
  • 80% follows after 90 days.
  • If the candidate is not retained at 90 days, the 20% already paid is not lost: it is an advance toward the replacement, and we carry out the replacement.

Recruiting scope, fees & safeguards

Direct hire across United States locations.

Hotels, resorts & multi-property groups

Our primary focus is fixed-salaried executive and management recruitment for luxury hotels, branded resorts and hotel management companies. Rooms, guest experience, revenue, sales, food and beverage, culinary, restaurants, bars, banquets and events are integral departments; independent hospitality businesses remain secondary. Candidates may live anywhere; US work authorization and any employer sponsorship are considered individually, never promised.

Employer-paid, consent-led introductions

Candidates never pay. Employer success fees are 10–18% of agreed annual fixed base salary, under written terms. 20% is due when the candidate and the employer sign the employment agreement for the placement; 80% after 90 days. Nothing is payable before a placement. Tips, bonuses and variable pay are excluded. Both applicable agreements, candidate-specific sharing consent and founder approval precede identity or CV disclosure.

The employer hires directly. We do not act as employer of record, run payroll, sponsor visas or promise immigration outcomes. Online signing and payments are currently unavailable; private recruitment requests and candidate profiles can be submitted through your account.
