The recruitment game has changed—and if you’re still trying to do it all yourself, you’re playing by outdated rules. (Recruiting in 2025)
Hiring in 2025 isn’t just about filling open roles anymore. It’s about building culture, increasing retention, scaling with precision, and staying competitive in a landscape where talent has more choices than ever before. In a time when candidate expectations are rising and job boards are flooded with noise, smart restaurant and hospitality operators are turning to trusted recruiting partners who know how to cut through the clutter.

Why Hiring a Recruiter in 2025 Makes Business Sense
Whether you’re filling an executive-level role or looking for frontline talent, the stakes are higher than ever. Here’s why outsourcing your recruiting efforts is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity: (Recruiting in 2025)
✅ 1. Speed + Precision
Recruiting firms like DeVita & Hancock Hospitality already have the networks, the tools, and the expertise in place. We don’t start from scratch—we start with strategy. That means faster time-to-fill and more accurate placements.
✅ 2. Access to Passive Talent
The best candidates are rarely on job boards—they’re thriving in their current roles, waiting for the right opportunity. We engage these “passive candidates” through discreet outreach, industry reputation, and long-standing relationships that your internal HR team simply may not have.
✅ 3. Save Time & Internal Resources
Your operations team is already juggling training, retention, P&Ls, and guest experience. Piling on recruitment? That’s not sustainable. By outsourcing, you get back your time and energy while gaining a team of experts laser-focused on your talent goals.
✅ 4. Hiring the Right Fit—Not Just Any Fit
We’re not in the business of pushing paper. DeVita & Hancock is not a resume factory. Every candidate we present is vetted, interviewed, and aligned with your culture, mission, and growth goals. We focus on quality, not volume.
What Happens When You DIY Recruitment?
We’ve seen it time and again—businesses try to manage recruiting in-house to “save money,” but here’s what usually happens:
❌ Longer Hiring Timelines
Without dedicated recruiters, roles stay open for weeks—sometimes months. This leads to burnout, lost revenue, and poor guest experience.
❌ Costly Mis-hires
Hiring the wrong person can cost you 1.5–2x their annual salary in lost productivity, re-training, and damage to team morale.
❌ Inconsistent Screening
Without a streamlined process, you risk overlooking great candidates or hiring someone who looked good on paper but wasn’t the right cultural fit.
