About us

A new, founder-led hospitality recruitment brand.

The Hiring Circle recruits salaried leaders, chefs, managers and specialists for hotels, resorts, restaurants and hospitality groups in the United States. We are deliberately small: founders review every candidate and approve every introduction.

Founders

Sebastien Muller

Co-founder

Co-founder of The Hiring Circle and principal of its operating company. Personally oversees screening, curation and every candidate introduction.

David Coucke

Co-founder

Co-founder of The Hiring Circle. Works alongside Sebastien on employer relationships and candidate review.

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.

  1. 01 · Employer

    Defines the search

    Shares a salaried role with job-related criteria: responsibilities, location, annual base salary range and required or preferred qualifications.

  2. 02 · The Hiring Circle

    Screens by hand

    Our founders review candidates against those criteria and approve only those who fit. No algorithm sends profiles automatically.

  3. 03 · Candidate

    Gives consent

    The candidate reviews the opportunity and decides whether their profile may be shared with that specific employer.

  4. 04 · The Hiring Circle

    Introduces selectively

    Identity and CV are shared only after both applicable agreements are signed, the candidate has consented and a founder approves.

  5. 05 · Employer

    Interviews, offers & hires

    The employer runs interviews, makes the offer and hires directly. Where eligible, the employer — never The Hiring Circle — sponsors any visa.

Our standards

  • Candidates never pay.
  • Direct-hire salaried roles only; the employer hires and employs.
  • No profile shared without candidate consent, signed agreements and founder approval.
  • We never sponsor visas or promise immigration outcomes.
  • Job-related, non-discriminatory criteria only.
