Let’s begin by asking a few questions.
- Does your company spend significant time sifting through hundreds of resumes?
- Are the amounts of your contacts limited?
- Are you unable, or unwilling, to develop a team of in-house recruiters?
- Are you concerned about the cost of a miss-hire?
- Even after dozens of hours sifting through resumes and interviewing are you still unable to find the “right fit”?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it’s probably time for you to consider a hospitality recruiter.
What Can a Hospitality Recruiter Do for Your Company?
Hiring is a constant battle in the hospitality industry. Demand is always changing, and as a result hiring is often an on-going process. The unemployment rate of college educated workers is currently less than 3%, which means that there’s a high probability that your next hospitality executive is currently employed.
It’s hard for many companies to not only keep up with the administrative tasks involved with hiring new employees, but it’s often hard to find the ideal candidate; let alone convince them to make a job move.
While some companies may feel burdened by the cost of an external recruiter, the right recruitment firm can actually reduce your costs and take the burden of hiring off of your shoulders.
Research, conducted by Dr. Bradley Smart, reflects the cost of a miss-hire can be as high as 15-27x’s a candidate’s base salary. In addition, research has shown that “A” Players are significantly more effective than “B” Players. “A” Players are those who are considered to be among the top 10% of all talent in the marketplace.
A good hospitality recruiter will have spent years developing relationships with the top talent in the industry, and will have instant access to the top 10% of candidates that otherwise are not actively pursuing a job move. They can bring true “game-changers” into your organization.
Hospitality recruiters can benefit your company in the following ways:
- Market your position to “A” Players who are not actively looking for a job move
- Vet out job hoppers and “B” and “C” Players
- Provide you access to the top 10% of talent in the market
- Avoid and reduce miss-hires that can cost 15-27x’s a candidate’s base salary
- Increase time-to-fill
- Increase your candidate pool
- Conduct confidential searches
- Allow you to focus on other areas of the company
- Advise you on industry trends, and knowledge
- Provide you with confidence and ease of mind
