Leading Restaurant Staffing Firm Hires Director of Recruiting for the Mountain West

TalentServed, an industry-leading hospitality executive recruitment firm, signifies its interest in deepening its roots in the Western US, with its most recent hire, Cathy Cooney, a high-touch, highly visible figure in the Colorado market. As genuine connections beyond social profiles become more valuable to hospitality companies seeking effective hires, TalentServed is ready to deliver the right talent to sustain and grow prominent restaurant brands across the country in 2020 and beyond.

Based in Denver, Cathy brings more than 20 years of experience and a deep network in the hospitality industry. From her family roots in the business, working alongside her parents who owned multiple restaurant concepts in Breckenridge; to rising through the management ranks with The Palm; and, most recently, serving as the General Manager of The One Group’s STK Restaurant in Denver, Cathy is always looking for ways to lift others up. Distinguished by her passion for the industry and her involvement in the Colorado community, she was appointed by the Mayor of Denver, and currently serves, as a Board Member of the Department of Public Health and Environment for the City. In addition, she sits on the Board of the Colorado Restaurant Association (CRA) where she served four years as the President of the CRA’s Mile High Chapter.  

“I’m excited to be joining the high-energy team at TalentServed,” said Cathy. “I’m ready to combine my knowledge gleaned from years of experience in operations with the network I’ve created to help hospitality executives find their best new hires.”

“Cathy is a great addition to our growing recruitment team,” said Steve Gibson, Founder & CEO, of TalentServed. “The clients of our firm will be winning big as Cathy connects the dots for them. We’re fortunate to add this industry leader to our team.”
