Hospitality Recruiting Franchises

The U.S. restaurant industry is a huge and vital element of the economy. According to the National Restaurant Association, in 2017 it represented $799 billion in sales, 14.7 million employees, and over one million locations. Those employees constitute 10 percent of the U.S. workforce, and the association forecasts the creation of 1.6 million new restaurant jobs by 2027. Taken together, those facts mean that the restaurant business isn?t going anywhere. In fact, it?s continuing to grow. That means restaurant operators will need plenty of employees at all levels, from crew to senior management, in the coming years. That translates to plenty of opportunity in hospitality recruiting.

The Right Person For The Job

Given high turnover and relatively low pay rates, restaurants obviously don?t use recruiters for crew members and servers. Recruiting is focused on managers, from unit managers up to senior operations personnel as well as candidates for ancillary positions (such as accounting and finance or real estate) who have a specialization in the restaurant industry. Fees are tied to salary, so filling higher-paid positions can be lucrative. But don?t be fooled. Although the restaurant business is hard work, most managers who are good at what they do are happy and in no hurry to make a move. Often your selling skills will be needed as much with potential candidates as with potential clients, and sometimes more. To succeed in this sector, you?ll need good interpersonal and communication skills, and some sales experience would definitely help. If you don?t enjoy talking to people, you should probably consider a more traditional food and restaurant franchises.
