Alliance by Goldstar: A Subscription Built for Hospitality Operators

Traditional recruitment works like a taxi; the meter starts, the fare climbs, and you pray for green lights. Alliance replaces that unpredictable ride with a flat monthly pass that unlocks unlimited, pre-screened permanent hires within your role allowance. Instead of budgeting per vacancy, you pay a single subscription fee, enjoy a steady flow of talent, and watch your cost per hire nosedive.
What Your Subscription Includes
- Dedicated hospitality recruiter, always an ex-chef, F&B manager, or GM who speaks your language.
- Unlimited placements within your chosen tier (Silver covers five concurrent roles; Gold covers ten).
- Job board and paid social advertising are baked in no more separate ad budgets.
- Weekly analytics dashboards so you can track pipeline health and time-to-hire at a glance.
Behind the Scenes: How the Alliance Workflow Delivers Results Fast
- Discovery call – lock down job specs, culture notes, and must-have skills.
- Magnetic copywriting – your recruiter writes conversion-ready ads and launches them within 24 hours.
- Candidate screening and interviews – Goldstar sifts CVs, conducts first-round calls, and short-lists only second-stage-ready talent.
- Client interviews – you meet candidates who already understand your shift patterns, culture, and package.
- Offer and onboarding – make the hire, set the start date, and repeat as often as needed without extra invoices.
Transparent Pricing Tiers That Scale with Your Business
Package | Monthly Investment* | Role Allowance | Ideal For |
Silver | £1,595 + VAT | Up to 5 live roles | Boutique hotels, single-site restaurants, multi-site pubs |
Gold | £2,999 + VAT | Up to 10 live roles | Larger groups, resorts, and event venues |
Bolt-On | £325 + VAT | Per extra concurrent role | Seasonal surges or expansion bursts |
*Six-month minimum term with rolling three-month notice flexible enough for shoulder seasons but stable enough for year-round planning.
Tangible Savings You’ll See in Month One
Slash Agency Fees
Standard hospitality agencies scrape 15 percent of annual salary. On a £35k sous-chef, that’s £5,250 every time you hire. Alliance eliminates that commission and reroutes the savings to guest experience or menu R&D.
Eliminate Job-Ad Spend
Turn off your Indeed, Caterer.com, and LinkedIn campaigns the moment Alliance activates. The subscription funds all external advertising, typically worth £1,200–£2,500 per month.
Win Back Manager Hours
Hiring managers routinely lose 35–50 hours a month juggling diaries and ghosted interviews. Goldstar shoulders the admin, gifting you an extra working week to focus on service delivery.
Quality First: Candidate Experience & Performance Guarantees
- Second-stage-ready short-lists – no more puzzled faces when you ask about split shifts or 300-cover Sundays.
- 90-day rehire coverage – if a permanent hire leaves during probation, Goldstar relaunches the search at zero cost.
- Employer-brand guardians – recruiters brief every candidate on culture and expectations, protecting your reputation in a competitive labour market.
Is Alliance the Right Fit for Your Operation?
Perfect for Volume-Hire Environments
Multi-site restaurant groups, luxury resorts, university catering, and event venues managing five to ten live vacancies benefit most. Think of Alliance as an in-house talent team without the payroll overhead.
When a Traditional Agency Still Makes Sense
If you recruit fewer than five roles a year or need a one-off, C-suite search, the classic pay-per-hire model remains practical. Alliance isn’t an all-or-nothing choice it’s your volume-hire workhorse.
Three Simple Steps to Get Started
- Book a discovery call to assess hiring goals and pain points.
- Choose Silver or Gold based on live-role volume.
- Sign a six-month agreement with a rolling three-month notice and let Goldstar shoulder the hiring grind.
The Future of Hospitality Recruitment
Subscription hiring is to recruitment what SaaS is to software a shift from ownership to access. As labour markets tighten and operators crave predictable cost structures, fixed-fee, high-touch models like Alliance will set the new industry standard.
FAQs
Q1: Can I pause the service off-season?

Q4: How quickly will I see CVs?
Most clients receive a short-list within five working days of sign-off, faster during peak hiring seasons.
