Why would you take the risk?

Share Post:

Recruiting can be time-consuming and costly, especially if you make the wrong hiring decision. Moreover, do you possess the expertise to effectively assess not only a candidate’s skills and talent but also, perhaps equally importantly, their references from previous employers?

Like many industries, the club and hotel sector is not immune to fraudsters, charlatans, and con artists who may present themselves deceptively during the application process…often presenting themselves as the best thing since sliced bread!

Engaging experienced and credible third-party recruitment consultants can significantly save you time and mitigate the risks associated with hiring the wrong candidate. This includes the risk of employing individuals who may appear impressive but ultimately cause disruptions or even engage in fraudulent activities. Furthermore, dealing with the complexities of the Fair Work Act to terminate employment can be time-consuming and costly.

DWS Hospitality Specialists have been the leading third-party recruiter in the Queensland Club and hospitality industry for over three decades. We possess extensive knowledge of the key players within the sector and an unparalleled industry network for conducting thorough reference checks. Our experienced consultants, many of whom have previously worked within the hospitality industry, possess a deep understanding of the practical requirements for executive positions.

Maintaining confidentiality is paramount throughout the recruitment process. This includes confidentiality within the recruiting venue and during the management of candidate information. As an independent third party, DWS can effectively ensure confidentiality for both clients and applicants.

In summary, utilising a reputable recruitment firm empowers hospitality businesses to leverage professional expertise, save valuable time, mitigate hiring risks, and efficiently secure the most suitable candidates. This allows businesses to concentrate on delivering exceptional guest experiences while entrusting the complexities of recruitment to experienced professionals.

Highly sought-after candidates often view employers who engage reputable third-party recruitment consultants favourably. This not only enhances the employer’s professional image but also demonstrates a commitment to excellence that can attract top-tier talent.
