When you\u2019re hiring new employees, there are plenty of ways to promote job openings for your restaurant or hotel. But effective hiring isn\u2019t just about visibility \u2014 it\u2019s about attracting the right candidates who align with your team and help your business reach its full potential.<\/p>\n

Follow the tips below to make sure your job listings attract the kind of employees you\u2019re looking for in 2026:<\/p>\n

Ask for input<\/h3>\n

First things first: in order to find the right employees, you need to know what skills, traits and personalities work best within in your business. While you probably have a pretty good idea from looking at your current staff, it\u2019s always a good idea to take the time to gather some feedback from your teams so you can develop the best profiles<\/a> possible.<\/p>\n

Starting an open conversation with your current staff will help them understand your motivations. Be clear that you\u2019re asking for help determining the broader team\u2019s needs so that everyone can be better supported. This will help avoid any suspicions or gossip about hiring within your business.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019ve gathered the relevant information from your teams, take the time to sift through the feedback and determine what\u2019s most important in developing your new job listings. When you have the best of all the responses, you\u2019ll have a perfect starting point for writing your open position descriptions.<\/p>\n

Write a killer job description<\/h3>\n

In theory, writing a job description<\/a> is a simple task: outline the key tasks of the position, list the qualifications, and you\u2019re done, right? Not so fast – while this is one way to develop a job description, you\u2019ll have more luck finding better candidates if you create your listings in a more thoughtful way.<\/p>\n

First, be sure you appropriately incorporate the feedback you gathered in the previous step. Finding someone who fits your culture – as well as your needs – is one of the most important things you can do for your business. To do this, outline the tasks and qualifications in a way that shows the personality of your organization, highlighting the strengths of your team and any of the social or cultural activities that make your company unique.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re finished writing the description, it\u2019s a good idea to double-check it with your staff. Ask them if it represents the job accurately, and if it captures the spirit and culture of your workplace. And lastly, ask them if they\u2019d be likely to respond to the ad if they saw it out in the world.<\/p>\n

Be smart about where you post<\/h3>\n

When you\u2019ve finished these two steps, it\u2019s time to post your ad. Finding the right places to list your job opening is one of the most important things you can do to find the right employees. Not to mention, finding the right places – not just any place – will help ensure your job search is efficient and that you don\u2019t waste your time with the wrong applicants.<\/p>\n

There are lots of free places to list your job opening. Obviously, your own web site<\/a> is a great place to start. People who enjoy your restaurant and respect your work may find your openings and be the first to apply. Craigslist, which allows you to post listings for free in your city, is one tried-and-true, mass level posting space that allows you to categorize your job opening within restaurants and hospitality. H Careers and SimplyHired are two other sites that also allow you to post jobs openings to large communities for free.<\/p>\n

Some of these sites also offer paid support when you\u2019re advertising an open job. In some cases, it might be more efficient and effective for you to pay the nominal fee to get your listings in front of more of the right, qualified candidates. This way, your team doesn\u2019t have to waste precious time vetting and interviewing people who don\u2019t fit the bill. Paying for better placement and with specific qualifications, so you can hire right the first time – and more importantly, spend time running your business.<\/p>\n

Advertising and listing your job openings will be a really important piece of your hiring cycle, and following these steps will ensure you\u2019re making the best hiring decisions and building a strong team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
