Signature Hospitality is a recruitment agency specialising in the hospitality and catering sector. We identify, approach and recruit professionals who are not actively on the market, from independent bistros to palace hotels.
We recruit leaders who do not read job adverts. Our role is to find them where they work.
Digital tools broaden our reach. Human conversation remains central to how we assess candidates and build each relationship.
The businesses we recruit for
Every search reflects the business, the role and the reality of its team.
We recruit across hotels, restaurants and hospitality businesses, from front office managers to general managers. We also work with the wider tourism sector, including short-term rentals, concierge services and private households.
The leader you need is often working elsewhere. From a precise brief, we activate our network, identify relevant people and approach them individually. You only meet candidates whose experience and expectations fit your business. Conversations remain confidential.
Headhunting →
Front office, dining room, housekeeping and kitchen: an opening, a season or a reorganisation requires prompt recruitment without lowering standards. We handle sourcing and interviews for permanent and longer fixed-term roles. References are taken at the client’s request and with the candidate’s prior consent. You assess finalists who have already worked in an environment comparable to yours.
Team recruitment →The final decision remains yours. We manage the search, approaches, assessment and follow-up through to onboarding. References are taken on request and with the candidate’s prior consent.
We check each candidate’s interest, background, expectations, availability and any points of caution. Here are the three moments you see; the full process runs in five stages.
An in-depth conversation to understand your business, its culture, the role, the ideal candidate and the non-negotiables. We favour direct discussion over a questionnaire: your property, the position and the criteria that matter.
We identify a focused selection of active and passive candidates, then approach them individually by phone or direct message. No name is shared before the candidate agrees.
You meet the shortlisted finalists. We remain in contact through to signature and throughout the probationary period.
Since 2025
Tiphaine and Alexandre were a tremendous help in finding qualified candidates in sometimes challenging circumstances, including delayed openings and tight deadlines.

Their availability and professionalism make all the difference. I recommend them without hesitation.
