NATIONAL JOB BOARD

Panera Bread
I have enjoyed working with Goodwin & Associates for over two years. They understand the unique profile that we look for that is needed for success here at our restaurant company. They only call me when there is a candidate that clearly fits this profile. With that, it is possible that I may not hear from them for several weeks, but when I do, I know it's because they have a great candidate. Their attention to detail takes much of the screening work out of the interview process. I look forward to working with Goodwin & Associates for many years to come.

It has been a great pleasure working with Goodwin & Associates during my time with TGI Fridays and now Panera Bread. They have been a great asset in fulfilling my recruiting needs within the north and central New Jersey area. Goodwin & Associates takes great efforts to get to know my needs within each company and search to meet those quality candidates. The food and beverage industry is a tough industry to recruit candidates, and they have made it very easy and simple. Thank you for all your help.

Goodwin & Associates came highly recommended and our experiences with them have far exceeded our expectations. The information we have received from their mystery shop program has been instrumental in helping identify our operational strengths and weaknesses. Having an independent set of eyes evaluating our customer service and quality efforts has been a true asset to our company and we look forward to expanding this mystery shop program to all of our restaurants in the southeast.

I trust you all had a great ending to the year and are excited about 2011 ahead. I have thought long and hard for a referral for the position that you and Hugh discussed with me during December. Not being in your "space"
of the hospitality business, I have been unable to identify a viable candidate. However, I have filtered through the network of recruiters and would like to make a recommendation. I have used Goodwin & Associates over the years and feel comfortable with the professionalism and quality of the candidates referred. They are specialists in the hospitality arena and have worked with such companies as the Ritz Carlton in placing some of their Golf Club Management. I have copied Marcel in this
communication so you could capture his email address and his direct line is

I have been utilizing Goodwin & Associates to help us fill our management positions. I like working with Goodwin & Associates because they only send candidates he has screened and would hire himself if he were back in the business. Goodwin & Associates makes good use of their prior HR experience to guide and coach during the process without being overbearing or rude. Goodwin & Associates is honest and keeps his word. Goodwin & Associates is patient and does not pressure the decision maker nor make useless phone calls or emails. I strongly recommend Goodwin & Associates as a company\recruiter.

Concord Hospitality Over six months ago our company signed with Goodwin & Associates to assist us with recruitment of high caliber managers and directors. At the time I was working with a couple of experienced and talented recruitment firms so although I signed up, I was not expecting much. Was I ever wrong! In short order Goodwin & Associates surpassed the results of the other companies I used in both quality and quantity. We are in the hospitality business and operate in nine states so the need for strong candidates is paramount.

What I have found since working with this company is that they operate with an urgency and efficiency that is truly amazing. We have hired several candidates from Goodwin & Associates to date and all are top grade hires. At this point, I am confident that when I request candidates for a location, Goodwin & Associates will respond with many qualified applicants for the position.

I highly recommend this team. They are professional, fun to work with, and get the job done. Feel free to contact me if more information is desired.
