SYSTEMETHODS was started in 1982 following 20 years of senior and executive management experience with several major airlines, travel agencies and tour operators. Although the company was initially focused toward providing general consulting services in my areas of expertise, much of my time was spent on recruiting executive and senior level employees for my many travel industry clients. In 1999, SYSTEMETHODS phased out its consulting division and began focusing solely on recruiting within the travel industry. My personal experience has convinced me that identifying appropriate candidates - those who have extensive backgrounds in this industry, in addition to superior qualifications and knowledge of the specific functional areas for which he or she will have responsibility - is critical to the success of the candidate and satisfaction of the hiring organization. Candidates thus qualified require significantly reduced start up time and are productive far quicker. The benefit this provides to our clients is obvious, and for that reason, SYSTEMETHODS recruits only for the travel industry and our extensive database contains only travel-industry-qualified candidates.

What makes SYSTEMETHODS qualified to handle all of this for you?

SYSTEMETHODS' reputation and industry background has enabled us to establish an extensive contact network and database of 'qualified' candidates. Our recent searches have included the following positions: VP of IS for a consolidator, President and COO for a large travel agency, Director of Leisure for a corporate travel agency, CIO for a tour operator, Senior VP, Finance and Administration for a regional airline, VP of Call Center Operations for a large tour company, General Manager for a wholesale tour operator, CEO for a consortium, IT Implementation Director for a travel company, Director of IS for a national airline, VP of Marketing for a leading travel technology company and Tour Manager for an international airline.
