Company Background
Tailgate Guys is a full-service event management company specializing in athletics hospitality. With over 50 premier partnerships in the NCAA, NFL, and MLB they are at the epicenter of game-day experiences.
They provide turn-key tailgate solutions that include tents, tables, chairs, linens, TV packages, catering, and more. From California to New York, to Miami, they’ve learned that where you find sports fans you also find plenty of room for quality service and old fashioned hospitality.
The Challenge
Tailgate Guys is experiencing explosive growth and they needed to quickly build out their national team of General Managers and hire a Vice President. Each candidate had to have startup DNA, hunter mentality, and be hospitality minded.
They were very focused on the culture piece of these hires. Even though they had to scale quickly they needed to ensure each candidate had the personality and work ethic to succeed in their designated market.
Hunt Club Solution
Leveraging our hospitality and sales expert network, Hunt Club quickly targeted bullseye candidates and companies that match Tailgate Guys’ Culture. We got on the phone with 20 Hunt Club Experts in the hospitality industry and received countless referrals and company targets. Tapping into their extensive knowledge of the market we quickly presented 36 fully vetted candidates for their 6 new locations.
"My founder friend used Hunt Club and spoke highly of them. I decided to give them a shot and I am so happy I did. We had a huge spike in our hiring and realized it would be extremely difficult and time-consuming focusing our efforts on building out our team.
Hunt Club made it possible to continue working on our day to day and provide great service to our customers. It was refreshing to line up with a group like Hunt Club because they are similar to our culture and understood what we stand for. We absolutely plan on working with them in the future.” - Parker Duffey, Founder and CEO
