Yaamava’ Resort & Casino

500+ room hotel and casino resort — capital-project leadership placement for a marquee hospitality build.
Role types we place
When to engage us
Call us when…
A new property or portfolio expansion where the GM bench needs to be built inside a quarter
Capital-project leadership for a resort, casino, or flagship hotel build — architect, GC, ownership, brand-flag stakeholder environment
A confidential VP Operations or Regional Director search across a multi-property portfolio
A repositioning (independent to flag, limited-service to full-service) that needs a leader who has already run the target model
How we work
How the week runs
Six operating rhythms every engagement inherits — the cadence a prospect can plan around from week one.
Weekly candidate submissions + market pulse — named submissions on a weekly clock, not radio silence between placements.
Concept fit and multi-unit P&L, verified at intake — every submission has already run the model at the unit count you are hiring for.
Back-channel referencing — references pulled from operators who reported to or alongside each candidate, not from LinkedIn connection lists.
ATS + HRIS optimization — pipeline stages, requisition templates, integrations audited. 25% recruiting-fee reduction on the JITB / Del Taco engagement through this work alone.
Executive weekly reporting — board-grade metrics on time to fill, source of hire, funnel conversion, and cost per hire, reported the way your CEO or CHRO wants to see them.
Standard 90-day replacement guarantee on every placement.
Three engagement models
How we engage
Three ways to work together. Pick the one that fits the seat — priced the way operators budget for the work.
Executive search
Senior, confidential, exclusive placements
For VP Operations, Regional VPs, VP HR, CHRO, CIO, and other senior operator or executive seats — including confidential replacements. I run the search personally, back-channel-reference every finalist, and stand behind a 90-day replacement guarantee.
- VP / C-suite operator or corporate roles
- Confidential or exclusive engagements
- Back-channel referencing on every finalist
RaaS
Recruiting as a Service — embedded on a monthly fee
For growth-stage operators hiring across the org without a full-time TA lead. I run recruiting inside your company on a predictable monthly retainer — weekly submissions, ATS and process optimization, executive-level reporting, no per-placement invoices. Averaging 67% annual savings vs per-hire fees across current RaaS engagements.
- Ongoing hiring across a role family
- Predictable monthly cost, unlimited scope
- Shift from agency-only spend to in-house ownership
*Pilot option available — monthly rate scales with the number of open seats we're running for you at any given time.
Consulting
Advisory + org-design help by the hour
For orgs that need my brain but not a full search — comp benchmarking, JD calibration, ATS + interview-loop redesign, TA-function audits, and hiring-strategy sessions. Booked in blocks, invoiced hourly, no long-term commitment.
- Comp + JD calibration for a specific seat
- ATS + interview-loop audits
- One-off advisory or strategy sessions
