It’s been a hugely important week for the exclusive luxury network, Vendôm, which has just held its inaugural international recruitment fair, available to all those interested in the luxury and hospitality industries.
 
Attended by over 100 top brands, and 3,187 participants from around the world, EXCELLENCE took place from the 7th to the 9th of October on a bespoke, high performing app. It provided those taking part with access to ten live conferences from 41 top speakers, 70 workshops and 1,359 121s with foremost brands in the industry, including Tiffany & Co., Chopard and Raffles.
 
Each attendee was invited to not only watch these conferences with world-leaders in their fields – speakers included Forbes Travel Guide CEO Filip Boyen, Audemars Pigeut CEO François-Henry Bennahmias and 2 Michelin Star Chef Hélène Darrroze – but also attend workshops and interviews with these top brands, their prospective employers.
 
Vendôm, the company behind EXCELLENCE, was hugely gratified by the feedback from attendees; founder Laetita Gurard commented that, “being able to help kickstart employment in the luxury sector after a difficult 18 months is hugely gratifying. I look forward to seeing the fruitful relationships that are built off the back of our pioneering venture.”
 
Vendôm is a global luxury recruitment firm which prides itself on providing tailor-made solutions for the luxury employment sector, prioritising the human element at the heart of recruitment.
 
Founded by leading figure in luxury hotels, Laetitia Girard in 2015, it was born from her desire to create a company dedicated to advocating for the human capital at the heart of recruitment. EXCELLENCE was aimed at all luxury professionals, and offered a unique opportunity for recruiters to present their brands through their collaborators, and for candidates to highlight their skills and personalities.
 
Vendôm looks to continue to shake-up the world of luxury recruitment, working to establish long-lasting relationships between like-minded employers and employees. The success of EXCELLENCE points to further such-events down the line, alongside the digital luxury conferences that Vendôm is already renowned for.
