True Partnership

Since choosing the right candidate is the most important thing we do, we go above and beyond to learn about your company, your culture, and the individual who can help you achieve the success you want. We don’t match jobs to people. We find the right people and then match them to the right jobs.

Clients can’t
wait to fall in
love with our
candidates.

Gecko Hospitality is committed to your
success. This commitment ensures a long-term relationship based on mutual trust and respect.

Unlike other recruiting firms, we want to
understand your business’s culture and
requirements, not just what job you need filled. We put your needs first so you can focus on your business and not on filling jobs.

We are focused on quality, not quantity. Our goal is to ensure we are working with the right candidates for the right teams, at the right time.

Our Process

 

Gecko Hospitality is your go-to recruitment
agency. We recruit and employ the best
talent in the industry, screening every
candidate thoroughly using our exclusive
seven-step Gecko recruitment process. You
tell us when you have an opening, and we’ll
work with you to fill it as quickly as possible.

 

 

Gecko provided us with a number
of well-qualified and experienced
candidates for the General Manager
position at our TopGolf Kingstowne
entertainment facility. You really listened
to the type of candidate and experience
we were looking for and only provided
us with well-qualified candidates. Your
additional insights upon forwarding
the resumes were also very helpful.
The selected candidate’s experience
and background were exactly what we
needed to re-energize our Alexandria, VA
location. We will definitely look to Gecko
in the future for management level
positions.”

As the CFO of a restaurant group, I rely on the Gecko team’s expertise in identifying talent to quickly fill high level positions. They are highly communicative and very experienced. We have successfully hired several key leaders in the front and back of house thanks to the Gecko team. I would highly recommend them to other restauranteurs.”

I no longer need to post ads, filter through resumes and waste time speaking with less than-qualified individuals. I receive qualified candidates, set aside a day to interview a select few and pick who I feel is most qualified for our restaurant. Gecko makes this possible!”
