Our hospitality recruitment service package means, you only pay, when the candidate has been successful. For instance, a candidate has a fee of £3000, due on weeks 4,8 & 12 9 via 3 payments of (£1000) the candidate leaves on week 7. The first instalment would have been due and paid and not entitled for a refund. We would then credit the two remaining payments so nothing more is owed, that way you have cash in the bank, rather than a credit note.

This is the million dollar question. We have in the past successfully filled roles the same day!, and there are roles that are more challenging to fill. However, our hospitality recruitment service has gone strength to strength in recent years and with our no fee upfront service, you have nothing to lose when using our hospitality recruitment service.
