Qualifications
What we’re looking for…
Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.
Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
You'll come with 2+ years’ experience across all aspects of human resources within the hospitality industry.
If you’ve previously opened a hotel that’s a big plus; you’ll need to be comfortable recruiting high volume.
You’re passionate about bringing out the best in other people and are full of ideas you want to try in achieving that goal.
Experience dealing with legal and performance issues.
