Since the very beginning, Jacob and Haley were very friendly, proactive, professional, supportive, and incredibly attentive throughout every step of my process. They guided me through interviews, communication with the company, offer discussions, and the overall transition process with genuine care and consistency. What stood out the most was how personally invested, approachable, and supportive they were in making sure everything went smoothly for me. I always felt informed, encouraged, and advocated for throughout the entire experience. Their communication, transparency, encouragement, and follow-through made what could have been a stressful process feel much more manageable and exciting. Even after the offer was finalized, they continued checking in and offering support, which says a lot about the kind of people they are and how seriously they care about their candidates. I truly cannot recommend Jacob, Haley, and the Reach Recruiting team enough. Thank you both again for all your support, guidance, and encouragement throughout this journey! 🙌🏼✨

I had a great experience working with Jacob at Reach Recruiting. From the first conversation, it was clear he really understands the hospitality industry and the kind of operators companies are actually looking for. What stood out most was how involved and responsive he was throughout the process. He took time to understand my background, helped me prepare for conversations with leadership, and stayed in close communication through every step — from interviews all the way through the offer stage. When things started moving quickly, he was great at helping navigate logistics and making sure everything stayed on track. I also had the chance to speak with Haley on a couple of calls during the process, and it was clear the whole team operates with the same level of professionalism and support. Recruiting can sometimes feel transactional, but that definitely wasn’t the case here. Jacob genuinely wants both sides to succeed and that makes a huge difference. If you’re in hospitality and have the opportunity to work with Reach Recruiting, you’ll be in good hands.

Jacob and Angela were both very thorough and helpful providing resources and feedback every step of the way. I’ve worked with a lot of recruiters in my job search and the team at reach were by far the most helpful and helped me land the job I wanted.

I cannot recommend this agency enough! Jacob was seriously the best recruiter I’ve ever worked with. He took the time to get to know me, walked me through every step of the process, answered all my questions, and just took so much time to make sure I was comfortable and set up for success. My life has changed 180 from landing this job and he’s a huge part of that. If he reaches out to you, you’d be stupid not to work with him. I’d give him 100 stars if I could. Seriously the best. (I’m not an actor and was not paid to say any of this )

I had the pleasure of working with Jacob from Reach recruiting and I can say he is one of the most professional and responsive recruiters I have ever worked with. Having been in the hospitality industry for over 25 years, I’ve interacted with many recruiters, and recently, I’ve heard increasing frustration from fellow managers and executives about recruiters who are unresponsive or treat candidates as just another number. Jacob is the complete opposite—he stands out for his professionalism, follow-through, and genuine commitment to his clients. I am very impressed with his approach and highly recommend him.

Working with Angela was an incredible experience. She took the time to truly understand my priorities and referred me to opportunities that not only challenged me but also respected my non-negotiables. She recognized how important my schedule was and advocated for me every step of the way, which gave me the confidence to leave a long-term position. I would recommend her to anyone considering a career change—she strikes the perfect balance of pushing you to think outside the box while ensuring you feel supported and secure throughout the process.

Testimonials

Angela has been an incredible Talent Acquisition partner for our teams. Her approach is thorough, thoughtful, and personable.

The discovery phase she has developed is detailed. She doesn’t leave the ideal candidate conversation until she knows she has a very good grasp of the ideal attributes and goals you want the ideal candidate to achieve.

Throughout the process she is not afraid to ask the tough questions that take you from wanting a purple unicorn to the ideal candidate for you and your organization (very close to a purple unicorn in my experience).

Mara Jones

VP,People & Culture at kasa living,inc.

From day one, Angela was professional and enthusiastic with a passion for placing individuals. As a candidate, she made sure I had all my questions answered to feel prepared me for interviews. I’ve never worked with a recruiter with so much passion for not only what she does but the success of her candidates.

Jacob Cole

Jacob, from Cleveland, Ohio, was raised by a single mother and developed a passion for cooking at a young age. He initially pursued law at The Ohio State University but rediscovered his love for hospitality while studying abroad at Greenwich University. On returning to the U.S., he left law, graduated early, and began his journey in restaurants, starting as a dishwasher at The Northstar Café.

Despite setbacks, Jacob’s determination led him to a culinary management role with Hillstone Restaurant Group, where he spent eight years sharpening his leadership skills across multiple U.S. markets. He later returned to Cleveland as Culinary Director for Ethos Hospitality, leading several successful openings before rejoining Northstar Café to help launch their first Cleveland location. Soon after, he partnered with Angela Scopelianos at America’s leading hospitality recruiting agency, where he continues to match top talent with thriving restaurant and hotel groups nationwide.

Jacob now lives in Indianapolis with his wife, Shanelle, who completed her fellowship at Stanford and is an attending physician at IU. The couple married in Tobago in 2025 and are planning to welcome a puppy into their family in 2026. Outside of recruiting, Jacob enjoys cooking, trying new restaurants, fitness, live music, and building community through hospitality.
