Leave No Stone Unturned: Recruiting Employees in a Tight Labor Market

About This Webinar

Competition for talent in the hospitality industry is at an all-time high, making it more difficult than ever to find, recruit, and retain qualified employees. With that, smaller businesses are often at a disadvantage when compared to their larger competitors because they do not have the same resources or budget to attract top candidates. So how can you get creative and economical with your sourcing strategies to ensure you're finding the best possible talent, regardless of the size of your company?

Join Patrick Yearout, the Director of Innovation for Ivar’s Restaurants and Past President of the Council of Hotel and Restaurant Trainers to uncover new recruiting opportunities and tactics, including highlighting your location’s strategic advantages to increase applicant responses, creating in-store advertising that will turn your guests into recruiters, and connecting with non-traditional staffing sources.
