Who we are

The Wilkinson Firm is a premium hospitality and event staffing employer. Every hire is a W-2 employee, not a contractor: taxes handled, workers' compensation, and a real pay stub. We train before the first shift, run a paid leadership program called Captain School, rewrite your resume, run mock interviews, and promote from inside. Our clients are hotels, conference centers, caterers and venues. We consider qualified applicants with criminal histories. Our Atlanta hiring commitment: 500 W-2 hospitality jobs across Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett and Clayton counties, with a written promotion path for every one of them. This role is part of that commitment.
