The Challenge: Scaling Quality Recruiting
As one of the nation's leading hospitality recruiting firms, Patrice & Associates manages thousands of candidate relationships across multiple franchise brands and territories. The firm's recruiters faced a common industry challenge: spending too much time on manualtasks like searchingdatabases,verifying contact information, and formatting resumes—time that could be better spent building relationships with candidates and clients.
“Our recruiters are exceptional at what they do, matching the right talent with the right opportunities,” said Jason Miller, CEO of Patrice & Associates. “But like every recruiting firm, we were looking for ways to eliminate the tedious administrative work that slows down placements.”
The Solution: AI That Lives Inside Your Workflow
Hyperspark AIoffered something different from typical recruiting software: an intelligent assistant that operates directly inside the Top Echelon ATS that Patrice & Associates already uses daily.

- LinkedIn Integration – Instantly see if prospects exist in the system and import new candidates seamlessly.

- Enhance candidate experience – Recruiters can focus on meaningful conversations, building stronger relationships with top talent.
- Provide actionable insights – Increased visibility into talent data allows brands to make smarter workforce decisions.
“For our clients, this means faster hiring, stronger teams, and ultimately, a measurable advantage in the competitive hospitality market,” Miller explained. “We’re not just filling roles—we’re helping brands grow, innovate, and lead their markets.”
A Bold, Human-Centered Vision for AI in Recruiting
Miller emphasized that the firm’s investment in AI is rooted in a people-first philosophy:
“Our competitive advantage has always been the strength of our relationships and our deep understanding of hospitality. Hyperspark AI enables our recruiters to focus on people, not paperwork. By marrying AI with the human touch, we create a hiring experience that is smarter, faster, and more personal.”
The result is a seamless experience where technology amplifies the human element—recruiters listen beyond résumés, understand aspirations, and ensure every candidate feels seen and valued.
