Recruitment: Where are the good ones hiding?

In this episode, where we discuss effective approaches to navigating the recruitment challenges faced by hospitality, we welcome two guests!

Liz from Whitehead Ross Education talks about their innovative Hospitality Skills Boot Camps, which are designed to get people back into the workforce with leadership skills tailored for the hospitality industry. Liz discusses how these boot camps focus on not only essential hospitality skills but also critical leadership qualities like effective communication, customer service, and team management, helping candidates level up to supervisory roles.

Sam Brown, founder of Candid Hospitality, discusses the talent shortage currently affecting the hospitality industry and the innovative approaches needed to attract, recruit, and retain high-quality employees. Sam shares insights on what’s driving the current recruitment challenges, the importance of a positive candidate experience, and how smaller operators can effectively compete in a tight labour market.
