Your Strategy Call Is Booked

Here's what you can expect

This call is for operators who are ready to think bigger about how they build leadership depth. You might be planning an expansion. You might have lost a key leader and realized you need a more proactive approach to succession. Or you might just be tired of the contingency recruiter roulette where everyone sends mediocre candidates and no one delivers.

Over 20+ years in this market, I've watched what separates operators who scale from those who get stuck. It usually comes down to leadership continuity and the relationships built around your recruiting process.

On this call, we'll look at your current situation—your team structure, your growth plans, market dynamics in your territory, and what's realistically available in your candidate pool. I'll share competitive intelligence about compensation, positioning, and what it actually takes to recruit the right leader in your market.

We'll also dive into your approach: whether you should be running quiet, confidential searches; how to position an independent concept to passive candidates; and what timeline and investment makes sense.

By the end of our conversation, you'll have a clear strategy for building and retaining the leadership backbone of your operation.

"Why Hospitality Operators Trust Gecko"

"I have worked with Gecko Hospitality for 8 years and I have never worked with such a tremendous staffing agency. The quality of candidates exceeds

expectations every time. They have placed 3 high-level positions for us this year and they have been a perfect fit. They get to know your hotel from the

operations to the culture to make sure they find the best candidate. As an HRD it is great to have an agency that you can rely on and have a great partnership with. THANK YOU!"

“I am happy to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Jeremy at Gecko Hospitality Recruiting. Two years ago, after having difficulties

finding the "right fit" for our Director of Food & Beverage position, I reached out to Jeremy at Gecko Hospitality to see if he could assist with filling this key position on my team.

Jeremy was very responsive and professional. In order to make sure he was able to assist, he requested a meeting to come to our Club, meet some of the key players and tour our facilities. He made time in his busy calendar to do this right away. I believe Jeremy left with a clear understanding of what we needed because the stream of applicants opened immediately. If you are considering using Jeremy to assist with a search, I suggest you take the time to meet with him personally. You will be happy you did.”

“Jeremy Nichols placed us with an excellent recruiter, Jack Hrad. Jack took every detail to heart when selecting the best potential candidates for our needs. We were looking for a niche position for a private residence. Both Jeremy and Jack communicate in a professional and concise manner. We will certainly reach out to Gecko again, should the need arise. We would also recommend using Gecko for hospitality related headhunting.”

"I had a great experience with Gecko. Jeremy is a delight to work with. He truly understood our needs and provide us with quality candidates versus simply quantity. He paid attention to the details to ensure the candidate was in line with our needs/wants. He has also mastered the balance of following up and requesting updates instead of appearing pushy or bothersome. He has been available and flexible every time we needed to connect and has been very patient in working with our schedules. "

"They know us and know our culture so it makes it easy to explain what we are looking for in a search. They have located 4 great candidates for us in the last 8 months. Great work and are family at this point. You are hard pressed to find search firm that cares about your team like they do."
