Benjamin Szabo

Operations - Specialist Consultant

Over the past decade, I've built a strong foundation in hospitality management, specialising in QSR and Casual Dining. My passion for the industry and my drive to work with and support people have been central to my career, and I'm excited to step into a more senior role where I can make an even greater impact.

For the past two years, I've worked with some of the leading QSR, grab-and-go, and retail businesses, specialising in recruitment for roles ranging from store-level management to operations managers. This experience has deepened my understanding of the industry's talent needs and allowed me to develop a proven track record of connecting businesses with the right people to help them succeed.

Now, in my expanded role, I am focused on strategic talent acquisition for leadership and senior management positions, while also mentoring and supporting the team to deliver exceptional results for our clients. I am excited about the opportunity to shape recruitment strategies and build long-term partnerships that drive growth and success across the sector.

Giulia Spirito

HR & Marketing - Recruitment Consultant

With over a decade of experience in the hospitality industry, my career has been driven by a passion for people, exceptional customer service, and great coffee. I began my journey as a barista with various specialty coffee brands, working my way up to management roles where I honed my leadership and operational skills.

My move into recruitment felt like a natural progression. Having conducted interviews, onboarded new starters, and worked closely with teams, I realised how much I enjoy connecting people with opportunities and supporting their career growth. These experiences, combined with my people-focused approach and operational expertise, make recruitment an exciting and rewarding fit.

Now specialising in HR and Marketing recruitment, I focus on building strong relationships with both candidates and clients. My goal is to connect businesses with the right talent to drive their success, while helping professionals advance their careers in these dynamic sectors.

I'm thrilled to bring my experience and enthusiasm to the table, and I look forward to making a meaningful impact in recruitment.
