Top Hospitality & Tourism retained executive search firms in Vancouver.

Hospitality recruiting and staffing covers hotels and resorts, restaurants and multi-unit groups, casinos, event and convention venues, and contract food service. Roles fall into clear tiers: hourly line staff (housekeeping, banquets, servers, cooks, dishwashers), supervisors and department heads (executive housekeepers, F&B directors, executive chefs, directors of sales), property leadership (general managers), and corporate or multi-unit leadership. The sector has some of the highest quit rates in the economy, which is why staffing agencies with benched hourly pools are a structural part of how hotels and restaurants operate. Hourly temps bill at a typical 35–55% markup over the worker's wage, and same-day fills are common for entry-level roles. Direct-hire placements for department heads typically run 15–25% of first-year salary. GM searches at upscale properties and corporate leadership roles use retained search. The agencies below range from national staffing firms with large hospitality books to boutique recruiters focused on culinary, hotel management, or event operations. Match the firm to the tier you are hiring for: a convention hotel that needs 40 banquet servers this weekend and a restaurant group searching for a director of operations need very different partners.
