The Off to Work State of Hospitality Recruitment 2024 report includes salary benchmarks for roles across different areas of hospitality and four geographical regions, along with insights from a survey of over 400 hospitality professionals.
Yet those people are in short supply in 2024, with the industry facing a shortfall of around 112,000 workers, or 5.6% of the workforce according to UKHospitality.
This presents a distinct challenge for hospitality and event operators. Securing qualified candidates demands resources, specifically time and money, which are also frequently in short supply.
To find out more about the current situation, we surveyed over 400 hospitality professionals, including those in hiring/manager roles at 35 different organisations.
The resulting report explores why more needs to be done to engage and motivate the new generation of hospitality workers and gives practical tips on how to attract the best candidates.
The report also includes an updated version of our Hospitality Salary Benchmark report.
Derived from real placements our permanent recruitment specialists made over the past year, these give a clear indication of the state of the market and are an invaluable resource to:
