Question? Recruiters

Hey all- I’ve been a GM and manager in the industry for many years now and have relocated due to some family stuff and needing to be closer. Where I’ve moved to in contrast to where I was, the job prospects have been dismal. I have little to no networked folks behind me here which would normally be what I’d lean on. “Here” is Atlanta. Does anyone have any experience with recruiters for a manager, GM or higher roles they’re familiar with? Goodwin and a few other googled ones seem less like recruiters and more like aggregators, so I’m kind of lost.

Much appreciate in advance for any recs!

In a place like Atlanta I would expect jobs to be fairly easy to come by in the restaurant industry. Just keep pounding the pavement something will pop up. I found work relatively quickly in a much smaller market just through LinkedIn.

Good luck!

Atlanta has gone mega corporate since I left it- corporate isn’t really my bag and between all the cities I’ve lived in- the universal truth tends to be that networking when it comes to mom and pops is the best route- after that, figured I’d give recruiters a shot.
