Lifestyle Recruiters

Lifestyle Recruiters is a nationwide executive search firm founded by Cindy Hook, specializing in hospitality, retail, and consumer goods recruitment. The firm harnesses the power of personalized video outreach and market mapping to fill leadership roles that others can't, serving as a strategic talent partner for companies seeking exceptional leaders.

Founded by Cindy Hook, a headhunter with over two decades of experience in executive search, Lifestyle Recruiters partners with companies in hospitality, retail, and consumer goods to connect them with hidden talent that drives growth. Cindy's career began before LinkedIn, when recruiting relied on phones, Rolodexes, and face-to-face connections, building her reputation on relationships that last.

The firm positions itself as more than a recruiting company - they are strategic power partners who dive deep into client businesses to uncover challenges, eliminate hiring roadblocks, and secure leaders who move the needle. Their approach goes beyond filling roles to align clients with players who possess proven skills, vision to scale, and cultural fit to protect and elevate brands.

What sets Lifestyle Recruiters apart is their powerful personalized video outreach strategy. Instead of relying solely on resumes, they deliver curated video introductions that reveal personality, leadership style, and communication ability before the first interview. This strategic advantage saves time, reduces wasted resources, and ensures clients invest only in candidates with the power to thrive within their business.

Their comprehensive four-step approach includes understanding client vision and culture, identifying top talent through specialized software and multi-channel campaigns, rigorous vetting with thorough screening processes, and seamless placement support. The firm offers flexible recruitment models including traditional contingency and retained search, monthly subscription talent partnership, and fractional recruiter services to meet diverse business needs.

Lifestyle Recruiters focuses exclusively on executive search and leadership hiring for critical roles that directly impact growth, profitability, and company culture. By targeting A-players who aren't actively job searching - the high performers too busy winning at their current companies - they help clients secure not just talent, but the right fit for long-term success.
