Tourism & Hospitality are back and stronger than ever. Where’s the staff?

by Cathy Parlapiano, Co – Owner —Here’s Help Staffing & Recruiting

The growth of hospitality and tourism in the region is stronger than ever. Growth is GREAT, but only if you have a team to support it. Partnering with a local staffing firm will get you the results you need. Staffing firms will source candidates and present those qualified for your open positions, saving you time.

It will give you the freedom to focus on your business and the other challenges presented in this growth period. Whether you need to staff a big event or are growing/ sustaining your business, staffing firms can find you a diverse work force for your Temp, Seasonal, Full Time, Executive, or C-Suite hire.

EVENT STAFF: Quick tips to leverage your staffing partner.

• Provide plenty of lead time. You want the best team to represent your brand, give the firm the time to source, vet and prepare.

• Job Requirements. Provide a thorough description of job requirements, duties, and expectations.

• Know your budget. Your team is a direct representation of your brand, create a mindful budget. Your staffing partner knows the industry and will be a valuable resource.

• Benefits. Why would someone want to work for you? Do you offer a uniform, provide lunch, tips/bonus potential – whatever it may be, please share. Benefits are a great compliment to the salary.

• Communication is key. Open communication to get the job done effectively. As a staffing firm, we can pull a team together more efficiently than ever before with our streamlined hiring process but if we don’t have open communication, that team can fall apart or move onto other opportunities.
