Executive search for hospitality tech
Hiring is the bottleneck. Growth is the consequence.
We help hospitality tech companies hire the people who drive commercial growth, product execution, and scale.
What is GAIN Search
GAIN Search is the executive search arm of GAIN Advisors. We combine four disciplines into one integrated model.
Executive Search
Senior placements that move the needle on revenue, partnerships, and execution.
Market Intelligence
Market context, benchmarks, and insights before you commit to a hire.
Advisory & Activation
Direct connection to a global network of hospitality operators and leaders.
Recruitment Strategy
Hiring processes, structures, and frameworks tailored to your stage and growth ambitions.
You don't just get candidates, you get access to the expertise required to solve the underlying challenge.
Our Approach
The first conversation is always the same:
"What are your biggest hiring or growth challenges?"
From there, we determine the right path
Every engagement is tied to a clear business outcome.
What We Do
Executive Search
We place senior talent that directly impacts revenue, partnerships, and product execution.
- CRO / VP Sales
- Head of Partnerships
- Regional Leadership (US, EMEA, APAC)
- Head of Distribution / Revenue
- Product and Technical Leadership
All candidates assessed against real hospitality dynamics: hotel sales cycles, distribution complexity, enterprise vs SMB environments.
