HOSPITALITY LEADERS
The Fly in the Soup

Hospitality HR teams face a legion of challenges, including:

Attrition. The industry has a particularly high turnover rate (50% for non-managerial staff), leading to most company's candidate databases being out of date and obsolete.

Inconsistency. With an excess of recruitment channels and job sites - yet no dominant tool, aggregator or marketplace for the sector - there is a lack of coherence and focus.

Inefficiency. Back-of-the-house of hotels is mainly pre-digital with managers using a variety of different legacy systems and cumbersome processes.

Neglect. Recruitment takes a back seat in hotels and is notoriously understaffed, underfunded and gets little attention from CEOs.

HOSPITALITY LEADERS
Hotelier’s Buffet

Co-founder Ralf Borchert noticed that - due to these factors - more and more of his leading hospitality company clients were asking for candidate data while still retaining and paying premium for his executive search service.

He decided to build a recruitment platform offering a buffet of candidates where clients can self-serve for a fraction of the executive search price.

Presenting this idea to clients on three continents, their HR teams jumped at the opportunity to design a simple recruitment cloud-based workflow and conceptualise the supporting technology to replace expensive and laborious systems.
