The festive season is such a busy time for the hospitality industry, so it’s the perfect opportunity to pick up some extra work. As one of London’s top hospitality recruiters, our specialist consultants are able to match you with some fantastic establishments around London. We’ve put together a few advantages of taking the time to register with a great luxury hospitality agency like Tiger Hospitality. While we recruit for five-star hotels in London’s West End, we also find staff for a variety of establishments, from pop up bars in Shoreditch to country houses in regional UK.
Whether you’re looking for temporary hospitality work or a permanent position, a great consultant will take the time to talk to you in order to truly understand what you’re looking for. From your initial registration, your consultant will be able to assess which workplace culture is right for you to ensure that it’s going to be a good match. Whether the booking is four hours to cover a staff member during the Christmas Eve rush, or a contract position over the entirety of the festive period, we know it’s important that you’re comfortable and happy at work. Each environment and management style will be considered to ensure it’s the right fit.
One of the best things about enlisting the help of a hospitality staffing agency is that you have a dedicated recruitment professional keeping you in mind for roles! At Tiger, your file is available for all of our consultants to access. This means that if you tell one consultant you are open to working front of house in a restaurant across the holiday party season, any jobs of that specification that come into the agency can be run past you.
In the temp world, it’s common for an establishment to need temps with very little notice due to unforeseen circumstances, like staff absences. In hospitality, this can also happen due to unexpected fluctuations in business activity across the holiday period. As a result, these jobs aren’t often advertised online as they need to be filled quickly. In this situation, registering with a fantastic agency is to your advantage, as employers will ring recruiters with these roles. Your consultant can then call you to see if you’re available for the one-off event. As a result, we can get you into work within days of you registering with us.
An agency can provide you with support to help give you the best chance of being a successful temp, through CV support from your consultant to providing education and training. At Tiger, we have both hospitality and temporary specific insights that provide tips and tricks to help you in the workplace.
