My best friend is a senior level hospitality manager. He just quit a job as the director of operations for a large sports arena. He quit because he was working 90-100 hours a week and is simply burnt out. He would like to find a gig that provides a better life balance with more enlightened executive leadership. Outside of contacting hospitality companies directly, what is the best way for him to find a job? Are there head-hunters that specialize in hospitality careers? He would like to target the south-east coast of the United States. In the past he has used Monster.com, etc. but I think he would be better served by going through a head hunter. Can anyone provide some advice or information on how he can best find an employer that is a good fit for him? What hospitality / food service companies are great to work for?
