Kerri Snow

Consultant

With 13 years of exposure to Luxury Hotels and their operational requirements, I have developed a profound interest in helping those around me understand their potential and reach their professional goals.

I have been fortunate to open two magnificent hotels throughout my career, and in doing so developed a keen fascination in sourcing the best candidates for our positions. Those that will execute the company’s vision while doing what they are passionate about.

In sourcing the right candidates for our property is where my passion for helping people to land their dream job developed, which in turn, led me to Kendrick Recruitment.

Lache Van Der Westhuizen

Candidate Manager

From a young age, I was captivated by the world of hospitality as my father immersed himself in this dynamic industry. Witnessing his joy while interacting with people from diverse backgrounds and exploring extraordinary places, I knew that my own path would lead me to become a part of this exciting field. The most fulfilling aspect, undoubtedly, is the opportunity to assist individuals in securing their dream positions at dream destinations. For me, recruiting isn’t just a job—it’s an exhilarating adventure
