What Makes DUA Different
We Know Every Search is Unique
Every position has unique requirements, which is why our recruiters approach every search from a different angle. From multi-unit franchisees to corporate franchisors, what makes an ideal candidate into a perfect one depends on the responsibilities and unique challenges present in the role.
We Respect our Clients and Candidates
At DUA, you’re not just another client or candidate. We our recruiting team takes the time to get to know everyone we talk to, so we get the whole picture, not just what a resume says. We also keep in touch with our clients and placed candidates long after the search is completed to ensure everyone is happy even after the placement is finalized. This is why over half of our clients are candidates we previously worked with.
We Get Better with Time
At DUA, every search gets sharper the longer we work together. With each placement, we get to know your team, your culture, and your specific needs in a way that no one-size-fits-all approach ever could. That’s why our partnerships often span multiple searches, each one more tailored than the last. Even with over 20 years of experience in restaurant executive search, we never stop learning—every client teaches us something new, and we use that insight to make each search better than the one before.
