Hospitality recruiter

Places candidates into hospitality jobs for agencies or in-house teams, from chefs and GMs to head office roles. Agency recruiters earn fees from clients when placements start, so the work is sales-driven and target-heavy. In-house talent teams focus more on employer brand, volume hiring and reducing agency spend.

A real shift

Mornings are often spent on the phone to candidates and clients, writing adverts and screening applications. Afternoons bring interviews, venue visits and negotiating offers and start dates. Busy periods ahead of Christmas and summer can mean filling large numbers of roles quickly.
