Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of companies are you recruiting for in the hospitality, travel and leisure industry, what kind of roles are you recruiting for in the hospitality, travel and leisure industry, what is retained executive search compared to professional recruitment.

Our retained executive search services is a specialized recruitment service that focuses on sourcing and placing high-level management and leadership positions, such as C-suite executives, SVPs and VPs within an organization. In this approach, the hiring company enters into an exclusive agreement with the recruitment firm and pays an upfront retainer fee.

The search process is more thorough and time-intensive, involving extensive research, in-depth candidate assessments, and personalized attention to the client’s needs. Professional recruitment, on the other hand, targets mid-level roles and individual contributor positions within an organization.

The process is typically faster and more streamlined, utilizing also a direct approach of passive candidates, the recruitment firm’s existing candidate network, job advertisements, and other sourcing techniques to find the right candidates. In this scenario, the fee structure is largely based on contingency, meaning most of the fee is due only when a successful placement is made.

We consciously connect humans with businesses to help both thrive.

We’re creating a new model of travel and lifestyle recruitment. A relationship-driven approach to head-hunting and business consultancy that helps individuals and businesses develop before, during, and after hiring. All the while working towards greater diversity and inclusion in our industry.

We believe you should be the change you want to see.

Let’s be honest: travel and lifestyle recruitment sucks. For an industry built on relationships and transformational experiences, hiring practices are often detached and inhuman. But we do things differently. 

We treat people like humans.

We believe building long-lasting relationships is the best way to do business. Because we put people before profits, we’ll never send you candidates we don’t believe in, or put you forward for a role that isn’t right for you. 

We actually give a sh*t.

We genuinely love the travel and lifestyle industry. Aside from years of experience and a little book packed with relevant contacts, we truly want to see the industry – and the people in it – grow and succeed. That makes us a great ally.

We’re pushing for positive change.

It’s no secret the travel and lifestyle industry lacks diversity, or that its recruitment processes are unfair – it’s just no one talks about it. But we do, because we think taking ownership of our industry’s issues is crucial to overcoming them. 

We let our work do the talking  

Making our clients and candidates happy is what matters most to us. so, why not read what they have to say.

“What really sets Lightning apart is how much they get to know the companies they are recruiting for and how much they got to know me. Talking to any of the team, I could be completely myself, which not only made the process a joy, it also meant I feel confident that the job I accepted is the right role for me, aligned to my priorities and values. Lightning have been my biggest champions, cheering me on throughout.”

Hannah Busby - Noteworthy Experiences

We imagine a world where everyone can bring their whole self to work.

We want to contribute to a travel workforce that reflects the eclecticism and differences of the world. We want roles to transform businesses and the lives of the people doing them. And we want everyone – no matter their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or social background – to be treated like a human and feel like they belong.

• What is a digital recruitment marketing agency? A digital recruitment marketing agency is a team of digital marketing experts who apply their skills to improve recruitment, helping companies hire more staff, increase applicant quality, and improve the general new talent experience. Recruitment marketing agencies create digital marketing strategies that generally include digital advertising campaigns, creating employer value propositions (EVPs), custom landing pages, smart application forms, automated CRM, technical integration, and new talent experiences.
• What is a recruitment marketing strategy? A recruitment marketing strategy is an approach to hiring staff using digital marketing techniques. Digital marketers will create a marketing recruitment strategy that identifies which audiences to target, what messages to use (employer value proposition - EVP), and what journey to send new talent through. The outcome of a strong marketing recruitment strategy is a reduced cost per hire, reduced admin processing time, and an improved new employee experience.
• What is a talent acquisition consultancy? In the context of recruitment marketing, a talent acquisition consultancy is a professional marketing agency that advises - and often builds - improved ways of reaching potential employees, improving the employer value proposition (EVP), reduce the admin time required by the recruitment team, and improve the new employee experience.
• What is an employer value proposition or EVP? An employer value proposition fundamentally answers the question 'why should you work here'. It outlines all of the benefits of working at a company, and further than that, it powerfully communicates why a company exists. Strong employer value propositions speak to potential employee's emotions, forming a bond and an alignment.
• What is a social media recruitment agency? A social media recruitment agency is a marketing agency that specialises on recruitment campaigns run on social media platforms. They create rich adverts to target audiences on ad platforms such as Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, TikTok, LinkedIn Ads and Twitter Ads. A social media recruitment agency will learn which audiences respond to ads at the highest rate, and which candidates are more likely to be hired.
• What is employer branding? At the core of employer branding is the employer value proposition (EVP). It sells the company to potential candidates, communicating the company's values, its reason for existing, and the various benefits of working at a company. Successful companies invest heavily in employer branding, because acquiring the best talent is a major challenge to all companies.
