As a PS you can seek a hospitality director if you do not feel your director is doing a good job training.
 
As a consultant my director trained me to ask that tough to swallow question when working with a potential recruit" Have you been working with anyone else?"
Certainly helps because most potential consultants don't understand recruiting and the benefits.
