Testimonials

I wanted to follow up to let you know how much we appreciate you connecting us with our new hire. We understand this is your job but we can’t tell you what a fantastically perfect fit he is for our GM role. We have had a very difficult past 4-5 years with various GMs that were not the right fit and were honestly very detrimental to our business. I know we paid for your service, but I need to extend an extra-special thank you to you for helping us with this most important hire. We are excited and optimistic about our future and this is the single key contributor to that! If we have future needs for other roles, we wouldn’t hesitate to reach out and will recommend you to anyone looking to fill a hospitality position.

Throughout my long-tenured career, I have known many recruiting companies and numerous recruiters. That said, I can honestly tell you that you preside over the best Hospitality Recruiting Company in the country. Rest assured, whenever my current company or others in my network need talent, or when industry professionals are looking for a job, I will reach out to Gecko Hospitality.    

I have had the absolute pleasure in working with Gecko Hospitality this past year, we work directly with Karen Kern on most of our open positions and she has been phenomenal! What I appreciate most about Karen is she takes time to listen to exactly what we are looking for in a candidate, from their experience and demeanor. I can always count on her to be in communication with me and answer any questions I have during the process.  Karen is a very knowledgeable about overall hotel operations and understands recruiting experienced people into these roles at our hotels. Marty, Karen, and team have been a true asset to our recruitment process and we look forward to continuing to work with them for years to come.

Karen Kern is one of the best in her industry.  She is very thorough in candidate selection, follow’s up and follows through.  She takes her time and has always giving me the best of the best in candidates.  In fact, her candidates are still with the company today.  Her knowledge, understanding and experience are a true asset to her company and mine.  Her approach and overall demeanor is always very excited, open and precise.   I look forward to working with Karen for many years to come.

Marty You are a great “people picker” and talent developer! Tara is terrific and reps you well. I am on to the next phase of interviews! Tara’s ‘tude’ is contagious and she motivates me, but keeps me grounded. Thank you!
