Candidate Consultant – Luxury Hospitality Recruitment
Hybrid, with exceptional remote applicants also considered
Smyth & Co is one of the most exciting and forward-thinking names in luxury hospitality recruitment. We partner with some of the world’s finest hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, private members’ clubs, restaurant groups and luxury resorts, connecting extraordinary businesses with exceptional talent across the UK and internationally.
As we continue to grow, we are looking for a passionate, ambitious and highly self-driven Candidate Consultant to join our team. We offer amongst other benefits possibly the best commission scheme in the industry globally.
This role requires an exceptional work ethic, genuine hospitality knowledge and a confident, outgoing personality. You must enjoy speaking with people, building relationships and representing Smyth & Co professionally in a highly competitive market.
You will also need to be confident using AI and technology. We invest in the best recruitment systems, search platforms and AI-driven tools available, so strong general IT skills and a willingness to embrace new technology are essential.
