    Executive search specialists for Tourism and Hospitality.

Working with a recruitment company for the first time, we engaged Tourism Talent to assist with three senior positions. Their deep experience in tourism enabled them to grasp our needs and they presented a curated shortlist of high-calibre candidates.  We wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.

  • Finding tourism expertise at the required level Tomahawk needs has always been a challenge, that is until Tourism Talent launched.  For two years we tried to fill a role through ‘traditional’ HR firms, Seek and other channels but came up with no one, or expensive mis-hires.  TT’s ability to find the perfect candidate for our team has played a significant part in our company’s growth.
