I had an excellent experience working with Elyse and Bellhouse Recruitment throughout my recent job search. Elyse initially reached out to me about an opportunity that was a great fit for my experience and career goals. From our first conversation, she was professional, personable, and took the time to understand what I was looking for rather than simply presenting me with a job. She was extremely helpful throughout the interview process, keeping me informed, preparing me for each stage, and providing valuable insight along the way. Even after I received the offer, Elyse continued to be supportive and made sure everything went smoothly through the transition. I really appreciated her communication, professionalism, and genuine interest in helping me find the right opportunity. I would definitely recommend Elyse and Bellhouse Recruitment to anyone considering their services.

Hospitality at its best is about building relationships. I believe that building strength in the right relationships can make a business succeed. In my personal experience, bellhouse recruitment prioritizes building relationships and this extension of hospitality into recruitment isn’t easy. It requires effort and skill. I’m happy to have experienced a hospitality driven process in recruitment and would recommend Bellhouse Recruitment to any serious team in our sector. Thanks for everything Elyse!

After being out of work for months, I had tried every avenue to find the right role, and most recruiters felt impersonal. Then, Bellhouse Recruitment reached out to me on LinkedIn, and everything changed. From my very first conversation with Elyse, the experience was thoughtful, transparent, and genuinely supportive. She and her team took the time to understand what I was looking for, provided detailed resources to help me make an informed decision, and guided me through every step of the interview process. I even had the chance to speak with Scott Bellhouse, who offered excellent career advice. It’s clear this team truly understands the hospitality industry. Thanks to their expertise, I landed the role I applied for and feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity. I would highly, highly recommend Bellhouse Recruitment to anyone seeking quality recruitment support in hospitality! They stand miles above other agencies I’ve encountered.

My experience throughout the entire recruitment process was amazing. I was initially contacted by phone due to industry connections and previous leadership roles. After the available opportunity was explained in detail and leading up to my interviews. Bellhouse Recruitment ensured that I had all the necessary information. There were also follow-up calls from Bellhouse Recruitment after each interview. This was really wonderful as it provided constructive feedback and build confidence going into the next interview. The fact that they find the time to reach out, not only after each interview but also after I was employed, is a true testament of how invested they are in having a successful recruitment process. I am very happy with my new opportunity and the direction, support and guidance from Bellhouse Recruitment.

The best recruitment agency I’ve ever worked with. From start to finish, Mr. Bellhouse was attentive, professional, and thorough. He helped prepare me for each interview by providing guidance on the questions I might be asked, along with thoughtful questions to ask myself. Ultimately, I got the job, and I can’t thank him enough for all of his support throughout the process. I highly recommend working with Mr. Bellhouse and his team.

I was fortunate to be introduced to Scott through industry leaders over 10 years ago. Over the past decade, Scott has been my greatest professional supporter. Behind the scenes, Scott consistently demonstrates the highest level of professionalism and deep expertise in recruitment. Always mindful and considerate of each individual’s situation and position, Scott is forward-thinking and genuinely supportive of personal and professional goals. The interview process is approached with thorough preparation, followed by thoughtful follow-up to ensure all parties are satisfied. When an opportunity is not the right fit, Scott never applies pressure or imposes opinions that could compromise the relationship, instead showing respect for both the individual and the business. This unwavering support, commitment to growth, and reliability set Scott apart in the industry. Regards Matthew Phillip Executive Chef
