Call Peggy Olson CARVER for your Executive Searches!

in light of the 15th anniversary of Beyond Hospitality, I started a series of “What we actually do at Beyond Hospitality”. ~40% of our business is Hotel Development: Green Field Development of outstanding hotels ~40% is our passion: Food & Beverage. Creating incredible restaurants, bars, experiences, memories ~ 10 is 'Stuff': speaking engagements, residential, non-hotel creativity And, last not least, about 10% is Headhunting for luxury hotels. It is most likely the least ‘glamorous’ part of our business, a crucial component for our clients and very effective, but not something anyone really has a high opinion about. Over the years, we worked with all the top hotel companies (Four Seasons, Peninsula, Mandarin Oriental, Viceroy, Rosewood, Patina Hotels, Raffles, Emaar, Jumeirah, One&Only to name a few). At some point (about 10years ago), this was becoming almost a full-time commitment, we then reduced the focus on searches for our hotel and F&B projects Theoretically, it is a great gig for both parties because you are filling a top-job with incredible professionals and we help to grow the career for some of the industries best. But in many aspects, it is also a rather thankless job: If you are ‘stuck with HR’ or ‘Corporate Recruitment’, one is treated in the best case as a commodity or supplier, right up there with the insurance salesman and considered entirely exchangeable. Professionals with great background get contact from headhunters very frequently and unless one knows them personally, even the courtesy of a reply or call-back is not standard. Thus here is a plea on behalf of all the people helping with recruitment: if you hire a professional to help you fill a position or if someone reaches out to you and asks you if you are interested in an opportunity, treat them with the same professionalism you treat a guest – he or she spends a lot of time, energy, relationships and experience on helping both sides (and yes, if things work out it is well compensated, but for every candidate presented, on average 40-50 are contacted and talked-to and for every successful search that lead to a placement there are several that don’t work out for various reasons).

ABOUT TRULY GREAT HOTEL MANAGERS This interview with an executive of The Peninsula Hotels that touches on their philosophy for hiring managers resonates with my own. If a hotel is able to hire a professional who trained at one of the world's top hotel schools, then the chance of getting the real deal hospitality package of skills and attitude is very high. Outside of these elite group of hotel professionals, it's like winning a lottery to hire someone with an authentic sense of hospitality. After interviewing so many potential candidates to replace my amazing general manager Napo -- yes, I won the lottery that time -- who has been with La Esperanza Granada since Day 1 but is soon embarking on the next chapter of his life, I realized that a real sense of service and a talent for organization is what I should be looking for and professional skills are desirable but only secondary. The skills can be learned via a hotel consultant over several weeks or months, but the real attitude is either there or not. And if you are the manager, it cannot be there only for eight hours of the working day. At least not if you are aiming for greatness.
