EverGreen Story
EverGreen Hospitality Recruiting was founded in 2025 in Los Angeles, California by Phil Papillion.
After many rewarding years working in the restaurant industry across a variety of concepts, Phil developed a true fire for hospitality. He saw firsthand what happens when the right people come together: incredible teams are built, leaders are cultivated, and the magic of the guest experience stays alive and thriving.
That passion is what drove him to start EverGreen. Not as just another recruiting agency, but as a mission driven partner born from real industry experience. We exist to connect employers with driven, passionate talent who share the same dedication to excellence, helping operators build the kind of teams that do not just fill positions, but elevate the entire industry.
At its core, EverGreen is about keeping the heart of hospitality strong. We are here to match great people with great opportunities, empower the next generation of leaders, and make sure the amazing experiences that define this industry continue for years to come.
Because hospitality is not just a job. It is a calling. And we are committed to keeping it evergreen, protecting and growing it, one perfect match at a time.
