The Aftercare

This isn't a 10-minute job spec call. I dig into what's actually going on — why people are leaving, what's broken, what the team dynamics look like, and where you want the business to be. The better the brief, the better the hire.

Challenger-style briefingCulture fit mappingSuccess criteria defined

I don't just post an ad and hope. I run four approaches simultaneously: mapping the market, headhunting from competitor properties, creative advertising across my 35,000-strong hospitality network, and searching my existing database of pre-qualified candidates.

Every candidate goes through my own interviewing process — psychology-based, results-driven questions that go far beyond "tell me about yourself." I never shortlist someone who isn't genuinely excited about your opportunity.

Psychology-based interviewingOnly genuinely interested candidatesNo speculative CVs, ever

You won't just get a CV in your inbox. Every candidate comes with an in-depth introduction explaining exactly why I think they're right — their strengths, motivations, and what they'd bring. I handle all interviews and offer negotiations.

This is where most recruiters disappear. I don't. The first few months are when most placements are at risk. I stay in regular contact with both you and the candidate, making sure the placement sticks. Your success is my reputation.

What Clients Say

Don't take my word for it

Thanks to Pawel's services, we built a dream team that has elevated our business to new heights. With his help, we found three exceptional senior managers who have become the backbone of our success. From the start, Pawel understood our needs and presented a diverse pool of top-tier candidates, saving us time and effort.

Pawel's dedication to finding the perfect fit was impressive. The Director he found fits in like a glove, bringing fresh and exciting concepts to the table. We can't thank Pawel enough for his top-notch service, and he's definitely a go-to guy if you need someone to find you awesome talent.
