Question 1

Lafayette Hospitality is dedicated exclusively to executive placement in the hospitality industry.    If you are seeking employment in Hotels, Resorts, or the Food & Beverage industry, then we are the right search consultancy for you.  Please send your resume and cover letter to davina@lafayettehospitality.com, or call 212-599-1000. If and when a suitable position becomes available for you, a recruiter will reach out.

Question 2

As a candidate, will I owe the recruiter any fees?"

Accepted Answer

No. The candidate pays nothing.

Question 3

How can I be sure my information will be kept confidential?

Accepted Answer

Our recruiters are highly sensitive to maintaining candidate confidentiality during a search.   We understand the delicate nature of seeking a new opportunity while you are still employed, and are careful to never jeopardize your current position.  As a candidate, you will not be presented to clients without your full knowledge and consent beforehand.  Clients, in turn, are contractually bound to never pass your information to anyone outside of the search.

Question 4

Should I provide references to the recruiter?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  As with any employment opportunity, we will need to thoroughly reference you before presenting you to the client.  You do have the right to not be referenced until you’re sure you want to be considered for the position.

Question 5

How does the interview process work?

Accepted Answer

The recruiter acts as liaison between the candidate and client.  The recruiter also guides candidates through every step of the interview process.   If you are an eligible candidate, we will first educate you on the clients’ needs, expectations, corporate culture, infrastructure/chains of command, and any other relevant information.  We’ll review the job description, compensation packages, and answer questions or concerns that arise, to make sure this job fits your needs and lifestyle.

Once you agree to be submitted for a position, we will do so immediately, and we will follow up with the client thereafter.  If the client responds with interest, we’ll coordinate meetings and coach you through the interview process.  You will never feel alone; recruiters have a vested interest in your success.
