Growing Market

Today more than ever, restaurants need managers - and they can't always find them on their own.
The combination of new job creation and high employee turnover in the restaurant industry has created a huge demand for highly qualified talent that cannot be met through such traditional means as promotion from within, employee referrals and advertising. With lean Human Resource staffs, companies increasingly outsource their recruiting needs.

The billion dollar Executive Search profession stands at the top of the staffing-services pyramid identifying and attracting key managers and professionals for position openings from $25,000 to $100,000 and up (in US dollars). Such restaurant managers are almost always happily employed and must be carefully persuaded to change jobs.

Our executive search consultants generally enter the profession after developing solid business skills as managers or as entrepreneurs. They have strong interpersonal communications skills and the ability to engender trust. They represent the client - and the job candidate - and bill the clients for our services.

Last but not least, Gecko Hospitality offers a franchise which combines a low capital investment, excellent quality of life, strong customer demand and utmost professionalism. It's both a business and a profession you can feel proud to be a part of.
