Demand from Local Eateries Gives Rise to Management Support Business in Northern Charlotte

November 03, 2014 // Franchising.com // CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Patrice & Associates, the nation's preeminent strategic partner in the restaurant industry, announced the opening of its second franchise in North Carolina to meet the growing management needs at local restaurants and other related hospitality businesses.

Local residents Alan and Robin Bilskie, who both have years of management experience in the banking and IT industries, respectively, are turning their sights toward hospitality as they run day-to-day operations for Patrice & Associates in North Carolina. The Bilskies have a team of recruiters with over 25 years of recruiting experience who will serve businesses around Charlotte.

"Charlotte's restaurant scene is nothing less than inspiring. Our restaurants are innovative and unique, never ceasing to please foodies as myself," Alan said. "We're eager to connect these great restaurants with bright personalities and hard workers in the community. No matter your skill or level of expertise, Patrice & Associates is the best resource for connecting restaurants and recruits alike."

Patrice Rice, CEO and Founder of Patrice & Associates, began the hospitality management recruiting company more than twenty years ago out of her basement. She recently launched a growth initiative for the company, seeking to expand by opening franchised Patrice & Associate offices. Now, one of the largest privately held search firms in the country, Patrice & Associates fills positions for thousands of U.S. restaurants and guides thousands of management candidates to new job opportunities.

"We are happy to have Alan and Robin join the Patrice & Associates family," Rice said. "They have impressive professional experience and will feel right at home in our welcoming network of dedicated job recruiters."

Patrice & Associates has evolved from a hospitality-staffing agency to a strategic partner for restaurant brands. Restaurant companies today are looking for more than a resume, they are seeking talent that can embody the culture and have a positive impact on the brands' growth.

The $625 billion hospitality industry employing 12 million people in the United States has proven resistant to the recent forces of the recession. Rice began franchising her hospitality industry recruiting business four years ago in the midst of the Great Recession. It has continued to grow rapidly with more than 40 regional franchise offices spread across the entire nation. Patrice & Associates currently has more than 600 managerial positions to fill.
