"James & Cranwell have been supporting with the recruitment of some specific roles over the past few years. With an international portfolio of hotels, it is important for us that our partners understand what each property represents and the types of world-class guest we host.
James and Cranwell recognise this perfectly. They are a true game-changer in identifying top talents whilst at the same time providing a genuine, friendly service and that is why they have my endorsement."

"I was approached for an excellent opportunity in Hong Kong, to lead the opening of a 210 bedroom luxury hotel. After seven successful years with The Ritz-Carlton, I felt this was too good an opportunity to miss. The whole process was managed quickly and efficiently. James & Cranwell were practical, transparent  and available at all hours. Given the multiple time zones involved they were a great support."
