Hospitality Sector Insights
The state of play in the hospitality industry
Leisure, food and beverage brands have ambitious plans to occupy 35% of large shopping centre space in the next 8 years according to Retail Week. To get there, they’ll need customer-fanatical hospitality professionals, slick service teams and creative minds to serve up something a little unique to capture the tastes of the nation.
So, it’s no surprise that careers within hospitality have become a hot topic. It’s a great time to be part of something big.
What are the biggest issues impacting recruitment in the sector?
The biggest challenge for recruiting in the hospitality industry is getting the right candidate. Finding the right person for the role can be tricky, especially when you’re searching in a sea of unqualified applicants.
People working in hospitality need to have good people skills. The industry is heavily focussed on customer service and requires someone with the ability to think quickly and be friendly.
As the hospitality industry itself is so broad, this means that there are so many different qualifications out there, such as NVQs, degrees and apprenticeship schemes.
Training programmes for entry-level workers can also be conducted internally. With such a range of different qualifications, it can make it difficult to know what to look for in a candidate and how to make a final decision in the selection process.
At The People Pod, we can help make this process far easier. Contact us today to find out more.
