Travel Recruitment Agencies: Hire Travel, Tourism and Hospitality Staff

Alliance recruits reservations and ticketing consultants, GDS specialists, product and contracting managers, corporate travel consultants and account managers, airline cabin crew and ground staff, cruise and MICE professionals, hotel managers, OTA product and pricing roles, and leaders such as country managers and commercial directors. We work with tour operators, travel management companies, OTAs, airlines, cruise lines, DMCs and hotel groups.

Yes. Alliance scopes peak-season and new-route hiring early, with an agreed weekly delivery rate, so permanent staff are in place before demand rises. For airline and hotel roles, we can also supply contract and temporary staff for assignments of one month or more. We do not supply day-to-day or single-shift cover. Tell us your start date and volumes, and we will plan the search around them.

Fees depend on the role, the seniority and the type of search, and Alliance agrees them with you in writing before the search starts. For contingency searches, the fee is payable only when a candidate is placed. Contract airline staff are priced as a monthly fee per person, based on skill level and hours. Every permanent placement includes our 90-day replacement guarantee from offer acceptance.

Yes. Alliance recruits in 36+ countries and sources candidates across borders when the right skills are not available locally, which is common for language specialists, destination experts and senior hires. For international hires, we prepare each candidate’s documentation for your work-visa application; visa sponsorship stays with you as the employer. We also brief candidates on your market before they interview.

Alliance screens every candidate against your brief before you see them. We run in-depth interviews, assess skills such as GDS and booking systems, sales performance or language ability, check references with previous employers and collect qualification documents. We also assess fit with your team and culture, so the people you interview can do the job and are likely to stay.

Yes. Alliance runs executive search for senior travel and tourism roles, including country managers, commercial directors, heads of product and board appointments. We map the market, approach candidates who are not actively looking and assess each person’s leadership track record and strategic fit. Executive search shortlists typically take 10-21 days, and we handle every search confidentially.

Yes. Alliance supports you through the offer, the notice period and the first weeks of employment. We keep in touch with both you and your new hire to resolve early questions and help them settle into the role quickly. If a permanent hire leaves within 90 days of offer acceptance, our replacement guarantee means we find you a replacement.

For urgent roles, Alliance starts from our existing candidate network instead of waiting on adverts, so a shortlist can arrive within 24-48 hours of an agreed brief. For volume needs such as a new route, a branch opening or peak season, a dedicated recruiter team works to an agreed weekly delivery rate. Clear briefs and quick interview feedback keep the process moving fastest.

Some are, and some are generalists. Alliance recruits across many sectors but has dedicated consultants for travel, tourism and hospitality who understand GDS systems, supplier contracting, seasonality and inbound and outbound travel. That specialist knowledge helps us judge each candidate’s real experience and present people who can contribute quickly in a travel business.
