Tony Panaiia, Director of Talent Acquisition, Eat’n Park Hospitality Group

We were very satisfied with the candidates submitted. Our recruiter really took the time to understand our role and our business. We were so happy with Kristin that we kicked off another search and hope to continue partnering with her in the future!

Minerva Gonzalez, Human Resources, Nuri Steakhouse

I loved the way Horizon Hospitality presented its candidates and how fast we accomplished our common goal. Great experience overall!

Blake Tarana, Franchise Owner, Tim Hortons

Horizon was great to work with. We were looking to fill a position and within weeks we had the position filled. Horizon provided us plenty of great candidates, to a point where it was difficult to chose the best option!

Nick McMillian, Managing Partner, Las Vegas Steakhouse

I enjoyed the time working with your team. They were always available – nights, weekends, etc. and did a great job understanding the circumstances of the role. Should the need arise in the future, we would definitely consider using Horizon again. If you’re ever out in Vegas, let me know. It would be great for you to experience the restaurant.

Frazer Donaldson, Co-owner, Elmhurst Brewing Co.

Horizon was EXTREMELY open to my constructive feedback on her first 2 submittals, and tweaked things for her next ones; excellent client collaboration/teamwork. Overall an excellent experience! And as a former retained IT search guy, I know what I’m talking about!

Brittany Rodda, Recruiter, Border Foods

This is my second time working with Horizon. Everyone that I have worked with has been incredibly professional and easy to work with. I feel they are a great partnership vs a service tool. I fully trust them to do the right thing for our brand and company.

Zachary Feinstein, Owner, The Feinstein Group

Horizon Hospitality helped us find the best general manager we have had in 7 years of operating. Eric Stuertz, the Recruiting manager was available whenever we needed him. Did I mention we did this hiring during a global pandemic, the week of Thanksgiving? Amazing job by Eric and his team!

Cindy Nixon, HR Director, El Dorado Festival & Events

Ryan has been a pleasure to work with. His response time on candidates, questions we have, and the entire process have been excellent. We understand recruiting in this small area isn’t always easy, but he has worked really hard to meet our needs.

Jody Farmer, Director of Human Resources, Paula Deen Enterprises, LLC

I have worked in HR for over 25 years, 10 of which were in the pharmaceutical industry which is highly reliant on outsourcing recruitment. Kristin was the best recruiter that I have ever worked with. She was highly organized and systematic. I loved the tools that she used to communicate to both myself and the candidates. The format she uses for presenting candidates was very clear and provided the details that were relevant to me.

I could not have been more pleased with the experience of working with Kristin and Horizon Hospitality as a whole. The database of candidates that you have compiled lead to prompt identification of quality candidates.

Sarah Nilstoft, HR, Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant

Alissa was a pleasure to work with. She was timely, professional, and had a great understanding of what we were looking for. We feel we’ve found a great fit for our company and are very pleased with our experience overall.

Mark Darvill, FS Food Group

Horizon Hospitality handled our search with a great sense of urgency. Always professional and timely. Always looking for feedback on candidate quality. I would work with Horizon again, for sure!

Marnia Kasper, Director of Operations, Orlando Public Houses

We wish we had pulled the trigger on using Horizon so much sooner! Right away we were presented with many well-qualified applicants. The communication was stellar and we truly feel Horizon understood our needs. The whole process was a joy and very professional. We are beyond happy with our decision to use Horizon.

Susan Alban, Vice President of Talent, Zume Pizza

Working with Horizon was seamless and efficient. We were able to bolster our team with the right talent quickly.

Kirk Bangstad, Owner, Minocqua Brewing Company

Horizon Hospitality is a quality recruitment firm for the hospitality industry. They found us a chef, sous chef and a brewmaster that has vastly improved the quality of my brewpub. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Andy Yeager, Chief Operating Officer, Tapco Restaurant Group

Working with Horizon has ended our search for a VP of Human Resources as a small, yet growing brand. At every turn, we were presented great candidates, transparent communication from our recruiter, and excellent hiring results. We will continue to utilize Horizon’s expertise as we scale, and recognize their value to our growing organization.

Whitney Bauer, Recruiting Manger, Iowa 80 Restaurant Group

This search required many accommodations with scheduling and Horizon Hospitality was very quick in contacting the candidates to make the necessary arrangements. Our VP of Restaurants held the final interview with a candidate presented by Horizon and said that it was the best interview he has had in the last five years. Our newly hired employee begins work with us at the end of the month. Thank you Horizon Hospitality for a job very well done!

Rebecca Berkshire, Director of Operations, Mojo Fuco Restaurant Group

I was happy that Horizon could pull such a wide range of qualified candidates in such a short turn around time, even over a holiday weekend. We were provided with enough candidates to be selective with our interview choices and were able to interview enough potential candidates to make a strategic hire that we are excited to begin working with.

James Westphal, Owner, Beer KC Restaurant Group

Horizon Hospitality delivers quality candidates that fit our concepts. They are our first choice for recruiting assistance!

Lou Klaiman, Owner, LFP Restaurant Management

In my first experience with Horizon … the team took the time to understand exactly what we needed. I was only sent great candidates and chose one that I could have never found without their help!

Amy Orlando, Director of Recruiting, Starr Restaurants

I absolutely would recommend the Horizon Team. Our success has come from setting clear expectations and parameters of exactly what we are looking for in our potential chefs and managers. Scott and his team sat with me to learn about the company, what we did and did not like.

Skip Fox, President of Fleming’s Steakhouse

When circumstances have existed where finding an outside candidate is appropriate, we have used your firm and another firm in TX exclusively.

Tanya Tateyama PHR, Staffing Manager of Red Lobster

I don’t know much that I can say except that I recommend you to everyone I know. Your professionalism, the quality of candidates, and follow up are second to none. I truly appreciate the fact that you only send me candidates that meet my criteria. You personally have made me the fan of Horizon that I am.
