Steve Mullins – Director of Human Resources @ Paramount Hotels (Maui)

Our Herd Freed Hartz executive search team was honored to partner with Paramount Hotels on a nationwide retained search to find their new Director of Human Resources at their Maui Coast Hotel property.

Paramount Hotels is an independent, family-owned boutique hotel group with properties in Seattle, Portland and Maui. With their legacy properties in prime downtown locations, they deliver timeless great service and amenities, but with a modern twist and artful boutique hotel experience. Paramount’s leadership team has a track record of experience with top hospitality brands including Waldorf Astoria (NYC), W Hotel, Hilton, Kimpton, Pyramid Hospitality, Four Seasons, Marriott and other top boutique hotel brands. The Maui Coast Hotel recently went through a $100M expansion and has a team of 100.

Kyle Asher, COO, commented on the executive search process by saying “I appreciate you and the work you put in to find such a great hire. We are excited to see what Steve can deliver for our Maui location as we continue to improve our human resources best practices.”

Employees enjoy working with us at Paramount Hotels for a few reasons:

• Be Known. Unlike big hotel chains, you are not just a number. We won’t hand you a 200-page manual on how to be a front desk agent. Here you have a voice, can try out new ideas and be empowered with the freedom to deliver a customized guest experience.

• Healthy & Happy. You are unique and part of a family who looks out for you. Here, we look out for your personal and professional growth and health. We are professional, but also not wearing suits. We walk the walk on taking care of people when most companies just talk about it. People look out for each other, and you won’t hear “that’s not my job.” As a bonus, how does a few trips a year to enjoy the sun in Maui sound?

• Deliver “WOW”. It’s fun being part of a creative and winning team that wants to deliver outrageous service, right?! Here you have the freedom to deliver the boutique hotel experience and encourage each other to raise the bar. With our growth plans, we look to promote within which means new career opportunities ahead. The annual holiday party in Maui is a highlight and something you look forward to each year.
