Hyatt hotels committed to hiring and keeping the best talent

Training and Recruitment Strategies to Make Leading International Hotelier First Choice Among Job Seeking Candidates

Exponential growth in the world’s hospitality industry has led Hyatt to embark on a new, innovative strategy to hire and retain the sector’s best talent, according to company executives.

Hyatt’s ambitious expansion plans for the Middle East and South West Asia – where it intends to open more than 15 new properties over the next five years – have led the hotelier to partner with leading recruitment firms and consultancies from around the world to help Hyatt’s HR staff source and recruit suitable hospitality professionals for a number of job opportunities spanning from entry level and trainee level to junior management and general manager positions.

Hyatt International Corporation’s VP Human Resources, Katie Carter, said: “Attracting, retaining and developing key talent in our company continues to be a key strategic issue for us as we face the anticipated growth over the next three to five years and beyond. As part of our global recruitment efforts, we have recently partnered with several international recruitment agencies to assist us in identifying talent for both our entry and junior management level positions.

In addition to recruitment partnerships, Hyatt has a very structured and comprehensive approach to training, which includes advanced orientation, skills training, and leadership and management education, all of which is a combination of classroom training, on the job and e-based trainings.
