Who to Refer to Whitewater Recruitment
Know someone I should meet?
You don’t need to send me lots of information. Simply introduce us by email or send me their details and I’ll take it from there.
Who do I work with?
Luxury Hospitality
This doesn’t have to mean a huge hotel chain.
In fact, I’d particularly love introductions to independent and boutique businesses where relationships still matter.
- Boutique Hotels
- Independent Hotels
- Country House Hotels
- Wedding Venues
- Exclusive Event Venues
- Private Members’ Clubs
- Luxury Spas
- Retreats
- Restaurants
- Destination Hospitality
We can help recruit across operational, management and specialist roles, from chefs and front-of-house professionals through to senior management.
Private Households & Estates
I work with private households, family offices and estates looking for experienced, trusted people to help their homes and estates run smoothly.
- Estate Managers
- House Managers
- Household Managers
- PAs & EAs
- Private Chefs
- Housekeepers
- Butlers
- Chauffeurs
- Nannies
- Gardeners
- Wardrobe & Laundry Specialists
- Property & Maintenance Staff
A great introduction could be to a private household, Estate Manager, House Manager, Family Office or someone who manages recruitment on behalf of a private family.
Luxury & Specialist Businesses
Some of the best referrals don’t fit neatly into a box.
I also work with businesses where service, discretion, presentation and finding the right person really matter.
That could be a luxury retailer, specialist service business, interior/design business, high-end leisure company or another owner-led business looking for exceptional people.
If you’re thinking:
“I’m not sure whether that’s quite Whitewater, but I think Maria should meet them…” Introduce us!
Who am I looking to meet?
This is the important bit.
I’m particularly interested in meeting the people who make or influence hiring decisions.
That could be:
Business Owners & Founders
Managing Directors
General Managers
Operations Directors & Managers
Hotel & Venue Owners
Estate & House Managers
Family Office Professionals
HR & People Managers
Executive Assistants & PAs involved in recruitment
They don’t need to be recruiting today.
I’m interested in building relationships with good businesses and households before they suddenly need somebody.
What does a great referral look like?
It can be incredibly simple.
You might say:
“Maria, I know someone who runs a lovely independent hotel. I don’t know whether they’re recruiting, but I think you two would get on.”
Perfect.
Or:
“One of my clients manages a private estate. Would you like me to introduce you?”
Absolutely.
Or even:
“I’m not entirely sure whether this is the sort of business you work with, but I know the owner. Shall I connect you?”
Yes.
