I am honest and dedicated to delivering the highest standards to both my clients and candidates. I aim to be refreshing in my approach. People are important to me and it makes business sense in this industry to treat people how you wish to be treated yourself. I concentrate on building up and developing strong, long lasting relationships. Many people make this statement but very few adhere to it. The same principles applied when I worked as a Consultant at jjFOX, and now as the Managing Director of Andrew Swift Specialties: Recruiting top quality hospitality professionals for the Hospitality & Catering industry sectors. Clients include Hotels, Restaurants, Gastro Pubs and Private Members Clubs.
Andrew Swift is a modern, cutting edge hospitality recruitment consultancy that has redefined the role of the agency, bringing a uniquely tailored approach to each and every single client and candidate enquiry that we receive. This recognition of individuality in an industry characterised by its cultural influence and diversity has enabled us to establish ourselves as the recruiter of choice for many of the leading Hotel, Restaurant and Gastro brands across the UK. ‘The smallest details yield big results’ We have a number of specialised hospitality teams who are committed to providing the highest level of service to their particular area of focus. Our consultant’s undertake vocational specific training in order that they may better understand the requirements of both clients and candidates. Part of our induction process involves spending time with our clients working in Front and Back of House, gaining a valuable insight into the various disciplines that make up our industry. ‘Honesty, Trust, Communication’ We believe we can achieve this by creating an environment where consultants strictly adhere to certain key core values that include honesty, trust and communication. When our clients have a requirement, they understand that nothing is left to chance. By focusing on the specific detail that makes your operation unique, we’re able to closely match an individual not just on skills and experience alone but also personality, character and ambition. This tailored approach separates us from the competition, and serves as the basis for our continued growth and development moving forward into the future.
