Meta Talent | Executive Recruitment | Hospitality

Eric Lambert

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Meta Talent Group as a candidate and later as a hiring manager. I can confidently say they excel in both areas. Two years ago I wasn't actively looking for a new role but they found me and ultimately connected me with a role that has been a great fit. On the hiring side, they’ve consistently provided well-matched candidates, making the recruitment process much smoother. Their team is professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in finding the right fit for both employers and job seekers. Highly recommend!

I have worked with Derrick over the years and not only is he professional but he really cares about you as a person. He has integrity, actively listens and provides great advice and direction. I cannot say enough great things about Derrick and his company and would highly recommend Meta Talent Group!

Michael Cullen

Great team to work with, on top of every situation and made me feel well prepared for every part of the process. Highly recommend.

I worked with Meta Talent Group about a year and a half ago, and they helped me find an amazing position where I've been since. During the process they were very thorough and responsive, helping me prepare and debrief every step of the way. I'd highly recommend working to anyone in the cannabis industry looking for a new position. Thaks Derrick and Alice!

Seth Martin

Meta Talent Group is amazing! Alice and Derrick are some of the hardest working people I have met. Becuase of them I landed my dream job as an extraction manager in Martha's Vineyard. If you are looking for a job in the cannabis or psychedelic industries look no further Meta Talent Group is the answer!

Mitch Pfeifer

Meta Talent Group is a great organization that placed me in a great situation. I wasn't super active looking for a new role but the team connected the dots on an amazing fit. Alice and Derek were great to work with and provided a far superior experience as a candidate than any internal recruiter I've ever dealt with!

Shoutout to Derrick and Alice! This a great group of people to work with if you're in search of a career change. They did a great job of matching my skill set with the right opportunity, and provided a coaching session in advance of my interview. They made a personal introduction to the company leadership, and even followed up after I landed the job to make sure that everything was working out. Very attentive to detail, personable, and easy to communicate with. I was very impressed with how hard they worked on my behalf.

I highly recommend Meta Talent Group for anyone looking to take the next step in their career. Their expertise and extensive network truly sets them apart, and they ensure a smooth process from start to finish

Richard Middlebrook

Derrick reached out to me when I wasn't even looking for a job. I had a few phone calls and was hired on the spot during my in person interview. I've been with this company for four years now. They negotiated my salary and took a lot of pressure off of me during the whole process.

Carrie Bender

I had a great experience working with Derrick and Alice at Meta Talent Group. Highly recommend working with them to find your next hire or next position.

Savannah Savell

It’s been a year and a half since Alice and Derrick were able to place me in a dream role! Thanks to their guidance and support during my interview process, everything was seamless. Working closely with Alice made it easy for me to feel confident during interviews. Alice is someone who is truly dedicated to your success as an applicant, and it’s apparent in all of her communications. So grateful for this team! I wouldn’t be where I am without them

Tiffany Cole

They helped me find an incredible job opportunity in the hospitality industry, which is my true passion and craft. From the very first interaction with messaging their founder, Derrick, on LinkedIn I knew I was in great hands. Shortly after my screening call, I was connected with Alice. Both of them took the time to understand my background, skills, and what I was truly looking for in a career. Unlike many other agencies, they don't just place you in any role—they match you with opportunities that align with your experience and aspirations. The level of professionalism and genuine care throughout the entire process was outstanding.

Paul Blackwell

Meta Recruiting was a joy to work with! Their team is professional, efficient, and truly understands how to match the right talent with the right opportunities. The entire process was smooth, transparent, and tailored to my needs. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a recruiting partner that delivers results.

Arif Hussain

Alice is an excellent trainer when it comes to interview preps, so immaculate. A huge shoutout to Derrick too.

Kenty Truong

Working with Derrick and Alice at Meta Talent Group was a game-changer. After four months of job searching without success, they helped me revise my resume, develop application strategies, and navigate the recruitment process. Their expertise resulted in multiple job offers and ultimately my dream job. I highly recommend their services.

Stacy Sweeney

Both Derrick and Alice were a joy to work with! They made getting the position I wanted so easy! I highly recommend them!

Ryan Clark

Derrick provided me with great career counseling last month. His cannabis industry salary report is a gold mine! It will definitely help leverage my career search.

Brandon Dulaney

Meta Talent Group landed me my dream job in the cannabis industry. After countless applications to any job I felt even slightly qualified for, I had a glimmer of hope when I got a LinkedIn message from MTGs head recruiter, Alice, about a compliance position that sounded too good to be true. Alice was an unparalleled advocate throughout the process. From pre-interview prep to post-interview debriefs, I always knew I had someone in my corner backing my best interests. It wasn't just another recruiter passing along your application, it was a crash course in everything you need to do right to get hired.

Nick Covert

5-star review for a 5-star gentleman. Meta Talent provided guidance for us throughout the hiring process for a new role we were hiring for in our company. They started with an initial call to fully understand the person we were trying to hire. Their team provided resources for the whole process from writing a quality job description all the way through to the employment offer. They were hands on in the process and the recruiting search. Super responsive and consultative in the approach.

Erik Jacobsen

Highly professional, proactive listener. Derrick helped us with a time sensitive staffing requirement for our retail shop. He assisted during the lifetime of the hiring process, checking in with us and the candidates throughout. Derrick actually picked up some key pain points from his conversations with our owner that we had not initially thought of and suggested on-the-spot, result-driven goals to help turn those pain points into opportunities. Provided additional assistance regarding HR documentation & state compliancy needs.
