Al Martino Agency Marks More Than 50 Years of Hospitality Recruitment Excellence
Weber Tysvaer
Al and his team have been pivotal in my 20 year career! Al won’t sugar coat any situation or leave you in the dark. Al Martino and his team have placed me in top jobs and have helped me build teams with excellent vetted, and experienced candidates. He is one of the few straight shooters in this crowded field. I know candidates are extremely sensitive to rejection and blame the messenger, but obviously with SO many decades in business with the very top families and businesses, they know what they’re doing. It’s truly harder and harder to find good employees of ALL kinds, so you can take any negative comments in reviews with a grain of salt (to taste!). Al is my personal favorite go to agency for all my principals’ lifestyle needs! He is one of the small minority agencies that are truly NO B.S.!

Have been working with Al Martino Agency since I broke into the private service industry scene a few years ago. Al and his office have all been incredibly helpful, forthright, and transparent from the jump. If you're getting your start in this industry I can't recommend their office highly enough. If you've been in the game for a while, you almost certainly know them already!

I have worked with Al for over a year now. They are always fast to get back to me and eager to help. Other Agencies just want a quick placement so they can make money, Al is about finding a good longterm fit. He also calls to find out how things are going. He cares!

I worked with the Al Martino agency as I moved to NYC looking for private chef work. Mr. Martino was instrumental in my preparation for the interviews as well as finding the actual position I’m in today. They’re running a truly great business.

I have know Al Martino for over 20 years relying on him for both staff my principals' operations and properties for chefs and service professionals including housekeepers and drivers.
Al is one of the only straight shooters in the Private Service business and won't waste anyone's time on matters that won't lead to success for everyone!
Al placed me in two of my best roles and others - and there are many - have not been as successful.
It is always a pleasure working with Al and his team because you know you're getting a straight answer and the best possible outcomes. Al has high standards and it's quite common for people to be hurt or offended when they don't measure up!
