About Us
Placing People First
Nicki Mechan & Gary Flower are leading specialists in luxury hotel management recruitment.
Established in 2001, "Veritas" is Latin for "Truth". We believe in being straight-forward with candidates & clients, offering a personalized & consistent service.
Over time we have successfully carved a niche, focusing on Head of Department level roles & upward, both in London & abroad. Our market is luxury & lifestyle hotels, private clubs & boutique collections.
We work closely with our clients to achieve innovative and creative recruitment solutions. The common denominator with our clients is “Quality” – in the product and service they provide and the career development potential they offer our candidates.


We believe in:
- Building long term working relationships with both candidates and clients.
- Keeping it warm, personal, honest and transparent.
- Simple, rapid communication and full confidentiality.
- Not sharing candidate details without prior consent.
- Providing detailed and constructive feedback on all interviews, to both parties.
- Representing people that we believe in to clients that believe in us.
- Enjoying it! 4pm on Friday afternoons is martini hour, where we review the week........& come up with some of our best ideas!
Veritas has specialized in working with hoteliers in the pre-opening stages of their hotel developments. We have successfully helped build management teams at the likes of Corinthia London, Four Seasons Park Lane, The Hoxton, BVLGARI, London EDITION - to name a few.
Although London is our main market, we have successfully completed assignments in the Indian Ocean, Africa, Asia, The Caribbean, Middle East and more recently, Australia.
