CLIENTS

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Rory for many years across different hospitality businesses. What sets Rory out from the masses of other Recruitment Agencies, is that he genuinely loves what he does and deeply cares about people, whether that be the client, candidates, or his team. He works with complete integrity and the ability to not only wholly interpret your brief but add to it beyond what you originally thought you needed. Rory is a true business partner in every sense of the word. He is incredibly generous with his time, always looking for opportunities to connect people across the industry in order to share best practice, (and a beer or two)! I love working with Rory and his team at Bee Recruitment, they feel more like an extension of my People Team than an external agency, and always show up with a shared passion for people, a love for hospitality, and drive to get the job done!

Odette Schwartz – People Director Blacklock

I have worked with Bee on numerous occasions over the years, and I cannot recommend them highly enough – their refreshing approach; really getting to know your business, your culture and your specific needs, is what keeps them at the top of my list. You won’t be sent people to fill the roles, you’ll get sent people to fit your culture.

Tom Cousins – Operations Director – Rosa’s Thai

We have been working with Rory and his team at Bee for a few years, we are very impressed with their approach in providing us with excellent candidates, they invest dedicated time in understanding our needs and have been successful in placing team members across multiple roles and departments.

Alex D'Aguiar – Managing Director Creative Restaurants

When i started thinking about Humo 2 years ago, a dream came true, I knew that the key element to make everything work would be the people, The brief i gave to Simon and Rory was a quote by Massimo Bottura “Success in life is about obsession.” I knew that i wanted to work with passionate, obsessed professional people that belief in our craft and in making memories and great experiences for our guests. They understood what i wanted and did an amazing job finding the right type of talent and passion. Working together we have managed to create a great team, full of energy, Skills, knowledge and personality.

Miller Prada - Group Executive Chef Humo

Simon & Bee has been instrumental in resourcing us with candidates we could not have reached via conventional channels. He has a solid portfolio / reach and is able to make genuine connections, but it is his grit and tenacity in being able to ‘seal the deal’ that has won our trust.

David Carter – Owner of Manteca

Having spent many years in the hospitality industry I am certain that the most important decisions we make are those regarding our talent and teams. Rory, James and the Bee Recruitment team are a Premier League outfit in every way and that is why I choose to partner with Bee. They care about their candidates as individuals and apply real thought to who they pair their candidates with. I am proud to say that Bee enjoy working with myself and Pizza Pilgrims.

Gavin Smith – Director at Pizza Pilgrims

We were attracted to Bee Recruitment as we could see they worked with some of the most respected brands in the industry, and they didn’t disappoint. James' own experiences on the front line in hospitality put him in a unique position to understand the specific needs of our business, and as well as providing great candidates he provided invaluable ongoing advice and support to ensure the whole recruitment process was smooth and our goals were achieved. Bee will be our go-to for future hires.

Matthew Goodsall – Owner of the Lime Tree Hotel

Working with Bee is a pleasure, and they supported us hugely when our team was small, and we didn’t have the capacity to meet our recruitment needs. The team understand our vision and values and have helped to place candidates they know will succeed with us and add to our culture. They are great people that know the industry and us really well.

Ellie Hickling - Head of People White Rabbit Projects

It has been a pleasure working with Bee. Rory really understands the needs & personality of our business, and has taken a highly proactive approach in helping us secure key senior hires. Given our experience so far, Bee are now our go-to partner as we continue building our central team.

Nick Philpot - Founder of Yolk

The Team at Bee are just really down to earth and a fun lot to be around and partner with. They just seem to get it right so often.
