I had an amazing experience with HRC International throughout my J1 process! The team was incredibly supportive, organized, and responsive every step of the way

Vincent
J-1 Hospitality Trainess, Hilton Anatole

I have worked with HRC International for 17 years, and the reason why I partnered with them is because they sent only the best candidates from all over the world to work with me. That's why I enjoyed working together with HRC International.

I have learned a lot, worked with and met celebrity chefs, collaborated with other successful restaurants, and created a strong network. Soon, I am relocating to Hong Kong. I very much believe I have found a company that shares similar values to mine.
