For employers

We supply qualified candidates to hotels, resorts, and travel companies, through a clear process from request to placement.

Hiring for tourism and hospitality is a skills problem before it is a headcount problem. Tell us the role and the standard you need — where the gap is training rather than availability, we can prepare candidates for it.

How we work

We follow four clear steps with every hiring request, from receiving the job description to follow-up after placement.

01

Receiving the request

We take in the job description and the standard required, and agree the shortlist scope and delivery time in writing.

02

Screening and assessment

We review each candidate's real sector experience, and assess their practical skills and language level.

03

Training where needed

If a candidate needs qualification on service standards, we handle that before putting them forward.

04

Shortlisting and follow-up

We send a short shortlist, and follow up with you during the agreed replacement period.

What you receive

A screened, document-verified shortlist, with clear notes on every name, not a stack of unsorted CVs. Every candidate has been reviewed against the job description you provided.

A clear shortlist scope

We agree the shortlist scope with each request, based on the nature of the role and the availability of suitable candidates.

What happens if a candidate does not stay?

We put forward a replacement during the replacement period agreed in writing, at no extra cost.
