We are excited to share with you the launch of Next Level Powered by KK&W, a comprehensive talent acquisition platform designed specifically for the private club industry. The solution addresses one of the industry’s most pressing challenges: connecting clubs with the emerging leaders who will shape exceptional member experiences for years to come.
The long-term success of private clubs depends on the professionals who deliver excellence every day, and Next Level Powered by KK&W was built to help clubs strengthen that foundation.
“We believe excellence starts from the ground up,” said Thomas B. Wallace III, CCM, CCE, ECM, Managing Partner. “The future of the private club industry depends on attracting, developing, and retaining exceptional talent. Our mission is to empower clubs with direct access to the next generation of hospitality leaders while providing a hiring experience designed around the unique needs of the private club industry.”
For club leaders, the launch of Next Level provides a dedicated platform to promote opportunities, connect with emerging talent, and begin building stronger talent pipelines. For candidates, it offers access to career opportunities, professional connections, and an industry-specific community focused on growth and advancement. A purpose-built Applicant Tracking System (ATS) for clubs is planned as part of a future release.
Unlike generic recruiting platforms, Next Level Powered by KK&W focuses exclusively on connecting clubs with professionals who understand the value of hospitality, service excellence, and member experience. The platform helps clubs attract candidates for operational and mid-level leadership roles critical to daily success and long-term growth.
“The foundation of a successful private club lies in its people,” said Betsy Gregory, Head of Job Board & ATS. “Every hire has the potential to elevate service standards, strengthen club culture, and enhance member satisfaction. By connecting clubs with promising hospitality professionals early in their careers, we’re helping organizations build stronger teams today while investing in the future of the industry.”
With the launch of the online community, Next Level Powered by KK&W also creates new opportunities for networking, career exploration, and professional development, helping emerging talent discover pathways into one of hospitality’s most rewarding sectors.
As clubs continue navigating a competitive labor market, Next Level Powered by KK&W provides a dedicated platform that connects top-tier talent with top-tier opportunities, helping private clubs build stronger teams, elevate member experiences, and support a more sustainable future for the industry.
