Master Club Advisors/David Meyers Associates, Ltd.
Thank you for your interest in the Chef Placement services of Master Club Advisors/David Meyers Associates, Ltd. As the Club industry continues to require a higher level of culinary expertise with increased member expectations and growing competition for the highest quality culinary professionals, Club Managers face real challenges in recruiting top talent. Securing an ideal fit for a club is a risk unless ample time, strategic systems and expert guidance are employed.
MCA/DMA uses a personalized approach to fulfilling hiring requirements. The process begins with completing a detailed facility questionnaire addressing (detailing) issues about the Club’s physical characteristics, staffing, financial & general expectations, ultimately interpreted to determine management and member needs. Concurrently, an environment assessment of systems, equipment and logistics are performed to gain tangible insight into the dynamics in making an idea match. Once this analysis is completed a position profile, outlining professional skills, employment experiences and interests, is developed to ensure the recruiting process maintains the desired standards. Subsequently, candidates are presented for consideration following a thorough evaluation of the individual’s experiences, character, career goals and references are thoroughly researched. Throughout the process, a sense of urgency is practiced to ensure all interests are achieved in a timely manner.
