Reminder: Hiring Sucks! And You Are No Talent Acquisition Expert

Hiring has been super rough for a majority in foodservice & hospitality. This pain is not evenly distributed however. And the business owners and operators that have it the worst are also those stuck in a fantasy land where denial and condescension reign. Because every owner-operator double-majored in Hospitality Management and Recruiting/Talent acquisition in college. Right?

What spectacular strategy do these self aggrandizing “experts” employ?

• Job boards

• Job fairs

• Social media posts

• Hoping for a miracle

• Public begging (tugging at heart strings)

Sound like a winning game plan to build that talent funnel? 🤔🧐

I didn’t think so…

Because they’re dealing with a jaded labor pool with 3million less workers. The competition is stiff. They don’t pay enough. Health risks are high. And talent retention is piss poor— 1 month 26 day average length employment.
