Hospitality Careers USA was started in 1981 by Harry R. Kellett after almost twenty years in the hospitality industry with Loews, Marriott, Hyatt and Holiday Inn Hotels; working in both domestic and international locations and for hotels and casino operations.
Hospitality Careers USA has an extensive working knowledge of the hospitality industry.
We have actually worked on property in the hotel business and in the corporate office for hotel companies and casino operators. We have conducted successful executive search assignments for hotels, restaurants, clubs casinos and casino hotels and for cruise companies. These experiences have heightened our awareness of very qualified people in the industry from property to corporate level responsibilities.
Hospitality Careers USA has worked successfully with a number of major hotel chains, management companies, food service organizations, country clubs, the gaming industry and the cruise industry to solve their specific needs in finding the correct executive to satisfy a particular situation.
Hospitality Careers USA has established an extensive network of affiliates on whom we can call to help find the correct person for a given position. This consortium of other agencies throughout the country operates on the same principles and philosophies that we use which include doing the job the way we know is best for the client and the candidate. Additionally, we can save the client a great deal of time in reviewing and evaluating large numbers of individual resumes and work histories.
Hospitality Careers USA only submits candidates for consideration that most accurately fit the needs of the client based on the job description given us by the company. The potential employee has to perform for the new organization and has to be the proper person sought by the company, therefore we identify with the client's needs and desires thoroughly and follow through accordingly.
Hospitality Careers USA is successful in finding key executives for all the department head positions from the property level to the regional and corporate level. Our specialty is helping find the best executive for any position regardless of the location or the nature of the job.
Hospitality Careers USA does executive search on various levels from small property searches to global searches for key corporate executives, but always on a very individualized basis with great concern for the individual and the company; and we do so effectively. Always with a commitment to excellence!
Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Over 30 years. I started my executive search business in 1981, my online web based job board (http://www.hospitalityonline.com) in 2001 and my recruiting consortium (www.securemploy) in 2005.
What is your primary product or service?
Recruiting for the hospitality industry at large with a particular emphasis on the hotel industry.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I was in the hotel business for almost 20 years when I realized there was a void that I could fill to help hotel companies in particular locate quality talent.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Integrity! We never take short cuts and will not recommend a candidate to a company where that person is destined to fail. We believe in win-win situations where we help a company find a talented executive who can really help the company achieve its goals and, at the same time, find a company that is correct for the individual's long term needs and career.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
Just one with no plans to expand per se'. We have established a nation-wide network of individual search experts and formed a consortium of sorts to benefit the industry.
What type of payments do you accept?
Company checks.
Which areas do you service?
We work on a nation-wide basis.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
I am a sole proprietor.
What are your hours of operation?
Daily from 8 AM to 6 PM with flexibility on those hours at all times.
