I have been a friend of Appetite for several years, both as a candidate and as a client. Not only are they fabulous in the world of hospitality recruiting, but they are also a truly friendly and inclusive bunch of people who go above and beyond. They make it their mission to understand what makes a business or a person tick, so the candidate matches are always spot on.
