Success Story: James & Cranwell's placement, Adriana Daci, General Manager of Twiggy Dubai, from RIKAS Hospitality Group 🌟 "Most headhunters treat you as just a CV, at James & Cranwell there is a relationship with every candidate," says Adriana Daci.

James & Cranwell put the spotlight on Benoit PRETET, who we placed as General Manager of the much-anticipated Nobu Hotel Toronto's opening. Benoit shares his experience with us: "My experience with J&C, and with Serena in particular, has been great and memorable since day 1. I appreciated the human touch, efficiency, and transparency in the recruitment process. I would definitely recommend working with J&C and Serena again anytime." We caught up with Benoit to gain his insights into the luxury hospitality industry✨ What is your definition of luxury? “This is a great question as the word is used quite loosely nowadays. In my personal opinion, luxury is the most elite level of quality craftsmanship, consummate service excellence, and my favourite – exquisite and highly coveted unique experiences that are not easily accessible.” What makes a successful hotel opening? “It really comes down to a unified effort between ownership, the brand, and the hotel team. If everyone is aligned and each area of the hotel is managed with a high level of expertise, it makes for the perfect recipe.” What is your favourite part of your job? “What I cherish most is fostering long-lasting relationships with our esteemed guests and dedicated employees, and being part of their most important memories and special occasions in life.” Any advice for budding hoteliers? “Travel as soon as possible. Pursuing work abroad early in your career expands your network, helps you develop flexibility, and enriches you with life lessons and experiences that are truly priceless. I have worked in nine different countries, with different types of hotels and cultures, and this is truly valuable on a personal and professional level.” #luxuryhospitality #success #recruitment
