What makes this sector hard

  • Property, segment and format fit

    Luxury, lifestyle, select-service, F&B-led and events operations each need distinct signal. Property/format is captured explicitly.

  • Service level and standards

    Cover counts, service standards and guest-experience expectations vary widely. Standards are captured in intake so shortlists reflect operating reality.

  • Multi-location and seasonal demand

    Multi-unit and seasonal operations reward specific evidence — flexing capacity, opening properties, running seasonal peaks — captured as structured signals.

  • Events-specific delivery

    Corporate, brand, wedding, festival and MICE events each have distinct workflows. Event format is captured as its own rubric axis.

The evidence we score against

Every candidate is scored against the role's rubric, and every score points back to a specific line in the CV. For hospitality and events, these are the signals that carry weight:

  • Property/format rubric per role
  • Service standards captured in intake
  • Multi-unit and seasonal scope evidenced

Certifications and credentials that matter here

  • CHA (Certified Hotel Administrator)
  • CFBE (F&B)
  • CSEP (Special Events)

Regulatory and compliance requirements

  • Alcohol licensing captured where relevant
  • Event and venue-specific health & safety compliance captured

  1. A ranked set of candidates, each with a score and the evidence behind it.
  2. Eligibility checks resolved before the candidate reaches you — right to work, credentials, location model.
