Recruiting staff through your own restaurant website
Finding staff is a challenge in hospitality. Your own website is a strong recruitment channel for this: candidates who already know your brand apply faster and often fit better.
Job listings on your own site
Create job pages on your website and let candidates apply directly via an application form. That way you keep applications organised in one place, instead of scattered across social media and email.
Connect a recruitment platform
Prefer to manage your job listings on an external platform? Then show them via a widget on your site.
- Link Hospitality for hospitality job listings.
- Soigné as an alternative recruitment platform.
Example of a good job listing
A short, concrete listing works better than a long list of requirements. For example:
“We’re looking for an enthusiastic host/hostess for 16-24 hours a week. You’re the first face guests see, and you make sure they feel welcome right away. Experience is nice, a hospitable attitude is a must. Send your motivation with a photo to [email] or apply directly below.”
A listing like that is short enough to read in one go, and immediately gives a sense of the role and the atmosphere of your business.
How to approach it
- Create a job page or connect your recruitment platform.
- Place an application form or the job listing widget.
- Add a few photos of your team and your business: people also apply based on atmosphere.
- Share the page on social media and in your newsletter.
Tip: keep it on-brand
A job page in your own house style conveys professionalism and attracts candidates who fit your business. A listing that looks like a loose sheet of paper does the opposite.
