Meet Abbie Lutz

Heirloom Recruiting was founded by Abbie Lutz, a recruiting and hospitality professional who combines nearly two decades of combined experience in those industries. Her mission is to match top culinary and front-of-the-house talent and corporate staff with the growing restaurant companies who need them. Abbie understands what it’s like to be “in the industry,” since she worked in customer-facing roles in restaurants and bars, as well as on the operations side of the business for nine years. She parlayed that experience to her career as a recruiter, rising to be a top performer in a firm specializing in hospitality. At Heirloom Recruiting restaurateurs and operations executives can expect a deep level of understanding and attention to detail while our team searches for the right hires to grow your business. Potential candidates will find us to be deeply committed to finding the ideal fit for your unique skills and personality.

During this post-pandemic labor crunch hiring quality managers to grow our restaurant business has been a major pain point. We typically hire only referrals and have never needed to work with a recruiter before. Abbie made the process painless and delivered multiple top-notch candidates for our open position. She is very responsive and gave great advice to help us get the ideal new GM. Thank you Abbie!

I've known of Abbie for sometime, but have never used her recruiting services until recently - what a find! In the world of recruiting, I find most are no more than resume mills just pumping resumes my way with no consideration of the opportunity relative to the candidate. I'd even go as far to say that I've felt as though some recruiters send every resume they can so they can "mark their territory". Not Abbie! She carefully interviewed each candidate prior to presenting them as a qualified candidate. In the past, I've never felt good about the big check I send to the recruiter, but with Abbie I can't wait to do so. I will definitely use her again.

“Abbie has my full faith and confidence when it comes to securing qualified, long-term candidates for my businesses. Our three restaurants have placed mulitple management candidates with her help, and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask for help again in the future!”
