National Hospitality Groups Report Faster Seasonal Hiring and 55 Percent Savings in Recruitment Costs Using Jobaline
SEATTLE, Sept. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Jobaline Inc. reported today that, amidst strong growth and increased competition for the best talent in the U.S. Hospitality sector, leading national hospitality groups are hiring their seasonal workers in half the time while saving over 55 percent in recruitment by using Jobaline's mobile recruitment and automated phone screening.
The average time-to-hire for the hospitality sector is longer than 30 days and the cost-per-hire is too high due to inefficient pay-per-click advertising and other hidden costs associated with pre-screening candidates, creating and maintaining a mobile career page and paying for applicant tracking system fees to ensure EEOC compliance. The industry has a record high number of open positions this year, having added 372,000 new jobs in the last 12 months. With occupancy rates and Revenue per Room at an all-time high as reported by Boston Hospitality Review, hotel managers need to be able to hire faster and minimize the time wasted in a hiring process burdened with inefficiencies. Managers often sift through dozens of resumes and applications to find very few local and qualified candidates.
With Jobaline's automated sourcing and pre-screening solution, hotel managers paid only for the pre-screened applicants that were deemed qualified and lived close to their property's location. "With Jobaline, I get a healthy list of people who meet our exact specifications, all before I have glanced at a resume or made a phone call," said Tricia McCallum, Task Force Manager at Pillar Hotels & Resorts.
Over one thousand hotels and motels managed by these leading U.S. hospitality groups have been using Jobaline to process two million visits to their open jobs online. Thanks to the easy mobile apply and automated phone screening, over 250,000 applications have been completed and the best 62,000 local matches have been served to those hotels. These customers report reductions in their time-to-hire from 30 days to just 10 days, along with a high success rate of hiring these pre-screened and local candidates.
"With Jobaline, we are able to reach a larger audience and pull in the qualified candidates that meet our needs," said Lynne DeMatteo, Special Projects & Recruiting Manager of The Hotel Group. "We got better candidates and spent dramatically less time getting them. And it was easy, too. Our property managers report a dramatic savings in time and hassle."
Jobaline also stresses the importance of providing the very best candidate experience possible for their job seekers, remaining 100 percent mobile, even via text messaging, bilingual, free of advertising or solicitations, pledging never to share candidate contact information with third parties and in a process that is compliant with EEOC and OFCCP guidelines.
"Our properties represent some of the most respected brands in the lodging industry," said DeMatteo. "We realize that the thousands of people who apply for our jobs may someday also be customers. We want to make sure their entire experience is worthy of the brands we represent."
