“Put simply, she’s the best in the market.”
INTRODUCTION
Jan Etherington, the founder of the company, developed a passion for travel at a young age while growing up in the Middle East. With over 40 years of experience in the hospitality industry, she has worked in sales and marketing for major hotel chains such as Sheraton, Hilton and Conrad in the UK, Middle East, and Mexico. After spending six years with the UK's leading hospitality recruiter, Jan set up her own thriving and successful recruitment business over 20 years ago, which specialises in the London, domestic, and international markets.
The Jan Etherington Consultancy (JEC) has been a leading recruitment agency in the country for many years, providing recruitment solutions for clients seeking employees and individuals seeking positions. We work closely with our clients to fully understand their needs and provide them with personalised care and attention to detail, ensuring measurable results every time
Our success has taken us from Glasgow to Dubai, the Maldives and, most recently, Barbados, while still retaining our London specialism. We have completed assignments for international hotel chains, small privately owned hotels, venues, event companies and contract caterers. Regardless of scale, we provide tailored services to meet our clients' needs.
Our consultancy was formed to specialise in sales, marketing, events, revenue and e-commerce roles in the hospitality sector. We work with clients at all levels, from single appointments to team building, to provisions for new openings and refurbishments. Our enthusiasm and dedication remain as strong today as when we first began and we are committed to providing an efficient and cost-effective solution.
“Jan is my ‘go-to’ for all my recruitment needs, I have complete confidence in her ability to secure the right candidates for my business.”

Jo Stevenson Timini
Executive Head of Sales and Marketing, Oetker Collection, The Lanesborough, London
“I have worked with Jan as a candidate and client for over 25 years.
She is extremely thorough in matching the right candidate to a client’s business acumen and culture. I wouldn’t use anyone else for headhunting or recruitment – put simply, she is the best in the market. “
Paula McColgan
Director of Sales and Marketing, The Goring, London
“I have had the pleasure of working with Jan for several years – as a candidate and as a Hiring Manager. Jan placed me in my previous role as DOSM at the Principal / Kimpton Fitzroy in London, and I was thoroughly impressed with her meticulous preparation and research ahead of my initial interview.
Jan has a keen ability to understand the brief and the company culture before selecting candidates, which has always resulted in successful placements for me at the Lanesborough, Kimpton Fitzroy and, most recently, Jumeriah.
I am delighted with the exception service provided by JEC and would highly recommend their services. Jan is my go-to for all my recruitment needs, and I have complete confidence in her ability to secure the right candidates for my business. Thank you for your outstanding work !”
Christian Black
Group Head of Business Development, R & K, Harrods
“I was searching for a new career path and was given several agents' details to contact.
I am thrilled that Jan Etherington's agency was on that list! From my initial contact with her, she provided guidance and advice on the best steps to take. Job hunting can be daunting, but Jan's calm and knowledgeable assistance settled all my nerves. With her help, I found myself in my new job after being introduced to the client by Jan. She also coached me on how to handle myself in interviews and with the composition of my CV.
I would definitely recommend Jan to colleagues and friends who are looking for new opportunities in luxury hospitality. She has a detailed knowledge of everyone in the business and should be the first point of contact - I simply couldn't have found my dream job without her!"
Emma Brierley
Director of Talent & Development, Broadwick Soho, London
I have known Jan for years and have utilized her excellent skills in finding Sales & Marketing professionals. Recently, Jan represented me for a role outside of her usual remit. Her professionalism was second to none; she kept me updated, briefed me on the role, and prepared me for the interview. Jan was detailed and thorough, and I am happy to say I got the role. Seeing Jan on both sides, as a client and a candidate, makes me confident in choosing or recommending her. She delivers and provides a very personalized service.
Sarah Buchanan
Director of Sales, L'oscar, London
I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with Jan once again. As always, she demonstrates professionalism, speed, precision, and strong connections. It is an absolute pleasure to partner with her, and she is always my first choice.
