UK: Accor has created 100 roles in Scotland following the reopening of hospitality, with hundreds more hotel positions expected later this summer in the rest of the UK.
To drive talent acquisition, Accor has launched a series of monthly recruitment days around the UK. Following success in London and Cardiff, the group is heading next to Scotland.
Hotel teams from more than a dozen Scottish hotels will attend the recruitment days on 20-21 July at Novotel Edinburgh Centre. The aim is to help locals understand the roles and opportunities available within the sector.
Positions range from kitchen to bar staff, as well as front of house and management. Availability stretches across all types of hotels including economy and luxury.
“The Scottish recruitment day is a great opportunity for locals to get a taste of life in hospitality, to hear first-hand why people come to hotels for a night and stay for years as part of the hotel industry family,” said Sophie Kilic, head of talent and culture for Accor in Northern Europe. “The hospitality sector offers employees fantastic opportunities to learn, develop, travel, create experiences and be part of something special for our guests every day. Accor offers great career progression opportunities, world-class training and the rewards and great benefits employees truly deserve.”
Kilic added: “There are fantastic job opportunities in hospitality today and opportunities to be part of a sector that plays an enormous role in the economic recovery of the UK. People join hospitality because they need a job, or they want a career and sometimes because it is their calling. Whatever their motivation, what they experience and learn in hospitality is invaluable. We learn to be always ready for the unexpected, to understand different cultures, to work in a fast pace environment, to have always a can-do attitude, to be business savvy and most importantly to connect heart to heart.”
Tickets to Accor’s recruitment event in Scotland can be booked free of cost here.
