What others say:
“Because of the unique needs of a yacht club — small restaurant, bar, fuel dock and moorage — it can be a challenge to find a general manager with the skills and personality to meet the needs. Gecko only referred candidates that could meet our qualifications. This saved the yacht club time and energy having to “wade” through the normal list of unqualified candidatesthat will generally apply for job openings. The selection committee was able to concentrate on only good candidates and we could not be happier with the person that was ultimately selected.”
Captain Gil MacGregor,
Portland Yacht Club Commodore
“I wanted to thank you and your company for the tremendous guidance we received on our recent hiring of a Food and Beverage Manager for Westwood Golf Club. Our Recruiter was outstanding in guiding us through the process and made my job very easy. He culled through the candidates only aligning us with the candidates he felt would be a good fit for our operation from a skills perspective. Then it was all about finding the right cultural fit. I believe we have found the right person and it is in large thanks to your organization.”
Ricky Lyons, General Manager,
Westwood Golf Club
“I have twice used [Gecko’s] services to recruit new staff members. The talent pool we were provided was far superior to that we had found on our own. In both cases, we made a big upgrade in the position by using Gecko Hospitality.”
