This week, we’re tackling the big kahuna: finding the right people for your team. Spoiler alert: if you don't have the right crew onboard, even the best brand can sink faster than a lead balloon! We’re chatting about how recruitment in hospitality has done a complete 180 in the last couple of years.

Forget relying solely on seekers and word-of-mouth; it’s time to cast your net wide and explore platforms like LinkedIn and even your own job boards! Plus, I’m serving up some super handy interview questions to help you sift through candidates like a pro, so you can snag the gems and not just the same ol’ fish!
