It is no secret that hospitality is a people business. The fundamental truth that your people make your business remains as relevant today as it ever has and this remains a cornerstone of my business. I place enormous importance in attracting a retaining the best possible talent and make a point of only working with resourcing partners who can support that aim. The reason that I have repeatedly worked with Hospitality Staffing on some of our key roles is simply because they understand the high bar we set and are not afraid to put in the effort in finding candidates who reach it.

I have worked with Richard for more than a decade as the ‘go to’ guy for all of our senior management appointments and have been very happy with the service we have received. Richard provides a very personalised and tailored recruitment service that always results in a successful appointment. The candidates are well researched and referenced long before we meet them meaning that the candidates that do turn up for the interview are genuine candidates who are extremely well briefed.

In an industry that relies on success fees, Richard has never pushed us to take any particular candidate and his honest approach is very refreshing. Richard understands us, our business and most importantly our culture and this has resulted in a very long term relationship which I am sure will continue for many years to come.

Hospitality Staffing UK have assisted me in recruiting three positions for Ye Olde Bell Hotel and Restaurant. Richard and Helen listened to my brief very carefully and took the time to understand the type of candidates I was looking for. Throughout the process they were patient (I don’t like to rush decisions!!), very helpful and accommodating. They had obviously taken great care in selecting the candidates that they put forward, they were all of excellent calibre.

The follow up service was impressive too with regular contact checking on progress of my new team members. I’m delighted to say all three new recruits are all still working in my business and have had a positive impact.

I cannot recommend Hospitality Staffing UK highly enough. In particular, Richard Morris. From our first conversation, he was professional, informative and detailed.

He spoke to me when I was able to speak to him. Not just office hours. In fact, he called me at home on a Sunday evening to run through details for my interview with the client first thing Monday morning. I felt that he gave far more support than any other agency I have used in 25 years. I don’t think I have ever been better prepared for any interview.

His feedback was direct, honest and worthwhile. He has even spoken to me a number of times since I started my position, which is something that in my experience other companies don’t do once they have had their commission.

First of all I would like to thank Richard for the wonderful experience I had through the process of securing my current job. I was truly inspired by the energy and dedication for my success with the preparation and the whole interview process. From the minute we met Richard inspired me with his knowledge of hotel operations, it’s fantastic to work with such professional recruiter. Richard offers the most personalised and tailor made recruitment process offering the highest level of support possible throughout the journey and this doesn’t just stop once you have secured the position.

I have used Hospitality Staffing UK on a few occasions to help with my recruitment. They are a local company who have some good contacts within the Industry. They have helped me fill a couple of different roles, and they give me another option along with advertising the roles myself. They have been established for a number of years and overall provide a good level of service. I have met Richard Morris a number of times and he has visited Lazaat to gain an understanding of my requirements which I was pleased about. I will continue to use them as and when the need arises.

In my roles as Hotel General Manager finding the right people is fundamental to the building of successful teams and achieving resulting, and in my search for the right candidates at senior levels Hospitality Staffing led by Richard Morris have consistently supported me in seeking out high performing individuals who have met or exceeded my expectations. They have done this by taking the time to listen to the qualities and behaviours I require and have rarely been far from the brief in the candidates they have put forward. Beyond that I have found them to maintain a high level of professionalism, and with a genuine interest in people the value they can bring to an organisation.

I highly recommend the professional and efficient services of Hospitality Staffing UK. Richard and Helen are supportive and involved right from their first point of contact, preparing me with all information needed at each stage of my interview process, they are always on hand to answer concerns or questions. They are never more than a phone call away, and even once the good news has been received they are still on hand to offer support in those vital first weeks. Thank you for all your support.

Cedar Court Hotels Yorkshire have worked with Richard & Helen at ‘Hospitality Staffing’ for a number of years. Richard and Helen are always very helpful and have provided our Company with strong and well researched candidates for both permanent and temporary roles. There has always been a positive general understanding of our needs and requirements.

I would recommend ‘Hospitality Staffing’ to any appropriate hospitality organisation.

I have used Hospitality Staffing UK a number of times to recruit key people for my hotel group. I have always found them a professional company to deal with who get results and can find me a high calibre of candidates. I used Hospitality Staffing UK in 2007 when I was looking to recruit a General Manager for one of my hotels and they matched the job spec I gave them with a suitable candidate. I am happy to say he still works for the company and has proved to be a good appointment. I have met Richard a number of times and he has stayed in my hotels to gain a better understanding of the business. I am happy to use Hospitality Staffing UK again in the future if I have the need.

I have recently used Richard Morris of Hospitality Staffing UK to recruit a new Head Chef for our hotel. I found Richard’s attitude and professionalism to be first rate and he would be my very first port of call for any other high level recruitment tasks. At no stage did we ever feel out of touch with his efforts for us nor was he ever misleading in anything he said. A straight talking Yorkshireman who delivered 100% on the task set. Thank you.

I have worked with Richard Morris, Hospitality Staffing UK on several senior recruitment projects including the head of our sales operation and key food & drink management roles. Richard always takes time to initially understand who the person will be I am looking for and how they would adapt to working as part of our team, this formula has proven to be a huge success and resulted in long term recruitment of some of my key senior team. Richard will always be my first point of contact when looking to recruit new senior roles in the future.

I was very pleased to be with Richard and his team. Throughout the entire interview process that can be very stressful, I was encouraged, kept informed and told I was the right candidate which gives you confidence. You do perhaps doubt yourself a little but Richard made sure I knew that I had all the credentials required for the role I now have. I don’t think a recruitment agencies job is to do this in fact for me it goes above the call of duty. I have a lot to thank Richard and his team for, I have a job I love, a boss I really respect, a company going places, a team who are great and ultimately I am happier at home (let me tell you in hotels, home life can suffer). I would also say something else, you’re not buying Hospitality staffing (don’t get me wrong there a good company), your buying Richard who I just cannot thank enough.

I have been through the recruitment process twice, with hospitality staffing, with Richard, both times he was always a phone call away if needed, kept me in the loop with any updates on the progress of the role, happy to go through questions or interview prep if needed, giving advice from past experience which was really appreciated. I would say he has gone above and beyond during the Covid pandemic, calling to check in whilst on unpaid leave, calling whilst back in the role to see how things were going, they truly care about the people they place into the roles they work on, I have recommended people already and will continue to do so.

Richard has a unique and professional approach in finding you, and finding the right job for you.

With a sincere caring manner, Richard and his team ensure you have everything you need from a good CV to once placed in the role that you are happy with everything.

The whole team dealt very well with clients during the pandemic often checking in to make sure you and your family are safe and well.

Like I said…UNIQUE.
