A hands-on consultancy for hospitality recruitment

Signature Hospitality helps hospitality employers fill their vacancies.

The consultancy combines two perspectives: Tiphaine’s operational hospitality experience and Alexandre’s direct search and recruitment experience.

Two complementary backgrounds

Tiphaine Dardinier

Operational hospitality

Tiphaine brings operational hospitality experience. She understands the pace, service standards, team pressures and the people who can thrive over time.

On each assignment, she defines the requirement, spots potential concerns early and pays close attention to the successful candidate’s arrival.

Direct search

Alexandre brings recruitment and direct search experience. He identifies people who are already employed, tests their interest and approaches them discreetly.

On each assignment, he tests the brief against the market, identifies potential candidates and assesses them before they are presented.

Two roles, one search

Tiphaine, your operational contact

Tiphaine is your point of contact from the first brief to the end of the probation period. She defines the role with you, helps you prioritise the criteria when the market is tight and remains available during the new hire’s arrival.

Alexandre, mapping the market

Alexandre maps the market before you receive a single CV. He identifies people who are already employed, approaches them directly and tests their interest. You only meet candidates who have passed this stage.
