HCN responded with the placement of four regional sales managers. Geri Horan, VP of Sales
comments, "Hospitality Career Network was an integral part in the establishment of Langham
Hotels International's North American Global Sales Organization. The team of consultants placed
four of our new Managers/Director's in 2008. Working with Hospitality Career Network is always
a pleasure and I appreciate their professionalism, straight forward approach and keen knowledge
of the talent in the luxury hotel Sales & Marketing sector."

have been truly impressed with the responsiveness and efficient communication by the HCN team",
remarked Christen Boyens, Resident Manager at the Peninsula Beverly Hills. "Past searches
have been custom-tailored to my needs and the results did not disappoint. We consider HCN
as one of the premier recruiting companies in the nation."

search for a General Manager, the professionalism and timeliness of the HVS team proved invaluable
as was the quality of candidates presented. Ultimately we were able to recruit an exceptional
individual who is thriving in the position."
