Detailed answer
CourtesyMasters recruits for every level of a hospitality organisation, from young talent to C-suite leadership. A Restaurant Manager, a Director of Rooms or a Group CEO: each search is run by consultants who know the industry from within.
Which levels does CourtesyMasters recruit for?
- interns and trainees, in structured roles where learning and mentorship go hand in hand
- young talents, ready for a first big step
- operations and assistant management, the people who run the day-to-day and lead teams
- specialists, with precision and operational know-how
- general management, including General Managers and senior leaders
- executive and C-level roles, up to board and group positions
CourtesyMasters also works with didactic professionals: people who did not follow the textbook route, but whose impact is clear.
Which departments?
The roles span the whole organisation, front of house and back of house, including:
- general management and management support
- rooms division, front office and concierge
- culinary and kitchen, and food and beverage
- sales and marketing, and meetings and events
- finance and legal, human resources and IT
- security, engineering and maintenance
How does the approach differ per role?
For permanent roles across all departments and levels, CourtesyMasters works as a specialist recruitment agency. Senior and confidential appointments run as an executive search or through headhunting. For an immediate leadership gap, interim professionals step in. For royal families, UHNWI and family offices, CourtesyMasters places private staff such as estate managers, private chefs, butlers and personal assistants.
What does that look like in practice?
For a fast-growing boutique hotel group, CourtesyMasters placed several "number two" candidates: assistant-level hotel executives with the potential to open and run their own hotel within 12 to 24 months. Other cases range from an Executive Chef for a new luxury property in Beirut to a C-level executive for a private equity portfolio.
