How I help

Recruitment, done properly

Full-cycle recruitment

From writing the job description to the signed offer — I manage the whole search so you only meet finalists.

Building teams from zero

Opening a new venue or office? I've hired complete teams from scratch for a real estate agency and a cigar lounge — every role, start to finish.

Hospitality & retail hiring

Front-of-house to management roles for bars, coffee shops, and food retail businesses.

HR process setup

Job descriptions, interview scorecards, and onboarding checklists your team can reuse after I'm gone.

How you pay

You pay only for a completed hire

Per-head pricing

One agreed fee per successful hire — no retainers, no hourly billing, no charge for searches that don't work out.

Invoiced after two weeks on the job

The fee is due once the candidate has actually started and completed their first two weeks in the role — not on signing, not on the offer.
