What We Do

Growth needs more than hiring.

BranchCollab helps hospitality businesses grow with the right people, clearer structures and honest strategic advice. We recruit leaders and operational talent across Bali and Lombok, then go further - helping owners shape roles, strengthen teams and make better decisions as they open, expand or reposition.

We also advise hospitality professionals on how to position their experience and choose the right next move. That two-sided perspective is our edge: we understand what businesses need, what strong candidates are looking for, and where both sides are likely to get it wrong. We call it Conscious Growth - ambitious, practical and built to last.

The Philosophy

Three quiet principles.

i.

The right person,
not the available one.

We turn down searches when the brief, package or expectations make a successful placement unlikely - and we say so before you spend money.

ii.

Hospitality
from the floor up.

Every brief begins with operational reality, not an org chart. Searches are handled personally, with specialist support where deeper assessment is needed.

iii.

Fewer CVs.
Better matches.

We present a focused shortlist with honest notes, not a stack of CVs. Hires that compound, not turnover that drains.

Services

Recruitment first.
Advisory that makes it stick.

Three connected services. Recruitment is the core - the advisory work exists so your hires actually succeed.

01

Hospitality Recruitment

Recruit people who can actually move the business forward. We help owners and leaders define the right role, challenge unrealistic briefs, search beyond job boards and assess candidates for capability, motivation, leadership style, relocation readiness and long-term fit.

02

Growth & People Advisory

Build the structure around the hire. A good candidate cannot fix an unclear role or a broken structure. We advise on responsibilities, reporting lines, salary, incentives, team design and priorities so new hires have a realistic chance to succeed.

03

Career Advisory

Make the next move for the right reasons. We help hospitality professionals understand their market value, communicate their experience, assess opportunities honestly and choose roles that support both career progression and quality of life.

How BranchCollab Works

Five steps.
No CV flood.

01

Clarify the real need

The property, the business stage, the team, the role - and what success should look like.

02

Challenge the brief

Salary, benefits, responsibilities and reporting lines reviewed before the role goes to market.

03

Search beyond applications

Direct outreach, referrals and hospitality networks reach people who are not actively applying.

04

Assess beyond the CV

Experience, judgement, motivation, leadership style, relocation readiness and fit with the property.

05

Support the decision

A focused shortlist with honest notes, interview and offer support, and involvement through onboarding.

Trusted Partners & Other Services

Quality audits, career coaching,
legal & corporate support.

Beyond recruitment and advisory, we open doors through trusted partnerships from Jakarta to Bali - covering F&B consultancy, finance & quality audits, legal, KITAS and PT PMA support. One point of contact, the right specialist every time.

Where We Recruit · Wilayah Kami

Two islands.
Two very different markets.

Uluwatu · Canggu · Ubud · Seminyak

Hospitality recruitment in Bali

Bali is a mature, fast-moving hospitality market — Uluwatu, Canggu, Ubud and Seminyak each demand a different kind of operator. Competition for proven GMs, revenue managers and reservations talent is intense, and the best candidates rarely answer job ads. We recruit through relationships built inside Bali's boutique hotel, villa and restaurant scene, matching people not only to a role but to a property's pace, ownership style and guest profile.

Kami membantu hotel butik, vila, dan restoran di Bali menemukan staf yang tepat — dari manajemen hingga reservasi.

Kuta Lombok · South Coast · Senggigi

Hospitality recruitment in Lombok

Lombok is Indonesia's next chapter — Kuta Lombok and the south coast are growing quickly, but the local talent pool for senior commercial and finance roles is still thin. Owners here often need people willing to build structure from scratch: first Head of Finance, first Head of Sales & Marketing, first proper reservations team. We know which candidates genuinely thrive in a frontier market and which only think they will — and that judgement is most of the placement.

Kami membantu properti di Lombok membangun tim dari awal — posisi keuangan, penjualan, dan operasional.

Trust, earned quietly.

We had spent months with a larger agency before Pablo placed our GM in six weeks. Different league.

Pablo understood the spirit of our property before we'd even finished briefing him. The candidates he sent were extraordinary — and the one we chose has reshaped our team.

General Manager Boutique Hotel — Bali

Hospitality recruiters in Indonesia rarely understand restaurants. Pablo does — he has lived it. He found us the right Head Chef on the first introduction.
