Patrice & Associates of Fort Worth is independently owned and operated by Joshua and Emma Barber.
Joshua and Emma came to recruiting the right way — from inside the industries they serve. With backgrounds spanning hospitality operations and the technology sector, they understand both sides of the table: what it takes to run a demanding operation, and what great managers look for in their next opportunity.
As owners of the Fort Worth office of Patrice & Associates, they combine hands-on, local service with the resources of North America's largest hospitality recruiting firm — a network of hundreds of recruiters and a candidate database built over more than three decades.
Patrice & Associates has specialized in hospitality recruiting for over 30 years, placing management and executive talent for restaurants, hotels and service businesses across North America — from single-unit independents to the nation's largest franchise groups. The firm's promise is simple: "Let's get you to Great."
Our Fort Worth office brings that promise to the DFW Metroplex with a local owner's accountability: when you call, you talk to us — not a queue.
We recruit throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex: Fort Worth, Dallas, Arlington, Irving, Plano, Frisco, Grapevine, Southlake, Keller, Weatherford, Denton, McKinney and surrounding communities. Multi-market or out-of-state need? The national network has you covered.
