Hi, I’m Michael Tafla, a seasoned professional with a unique blend of technical expertise and hospitality knowledge, transitioning into a career in recruiting within the hospitality industry. With a degree in Hospitality Business from and over two decades of experience in technology and service delivery, I bring a distinctive perspective to connecting top talent with exceptional opportunities.
My career has been shaped by leading teams, streamlining processes, and implementing innovative solutions to support business goals. I’ve developed a strong ability to assess individual strengths, foster collaboration, and align diverse needs—a skill set that directly enhances my ability to identify and place the right candidates in the right roles. Having worked in environments that demanded precision, problem-solving, and adaptability, I understand the operational challenges organizations face and how the right talent can transform outcomes.
In hospitality, where customer satisfaction and seamless service are paramount, my technical background equips me to identify individuals who can bridge gaps between service delivery and innovation. I’m passionate about helping businesses build strong teams that not only meet operational goals but also enhance the guest experience. For candidates, I aim to be a guide and advocate, helping them find positions that align with their skills, ambitions, and the dynamic needs of the hospitality industry.
