When your operation needs niche talent, skilled professionals who bridge front- and back-of-house, elevate service, or lead critical departments, you need more than general recruiters.
At Hastings People, we specialise in connecting businesses with high-performing, specialist talent across functions that matter most.
We focus on roles that require domain expertise, cross-functional leadership, or unique capabilities. These roles are pivotal: they drive revenue, guest satisfaction, brand positioning, and internal cohesion.
It is a highly competitive employment market and finding best-in-market talent is becoming increasingly difficult. Our research team is connected with top talent at all times, ensuring that we match clients with the very best people, not just the most active candidates.
How Hastings People Adds Value
Industry-Specific Expertise
Because we work in hospitality, leisure, FMCG & retail, we understand the demands, pressures, and success factors in your world. We know which people can thrive in high-tempo operations and shifting guest expectations.
Active & Passive Market Access
Our research and sourcing teams are always engaged, tapping into both traditional channels and passive networks, so we bring you candidates who might not otherwise be visible.
Bespoke Search Approach
Each engagement is scoped, mapped, and executed with precision.
Brand-Centric Positioning
We help you present your specialist roles in a compelling and differentiated way. This matters when engaging top talent: your brand narrative, career trajectory, and operational culture are part of the pitch.
Discreet Stakeholder Management
Many specialist searches require confidentiality, internal sensitivity, or tactical timing. We manage communication and expectation with full professionalism.
