How Can My Hospitality Skills Transfer to Recruitment?

If transferred successfully, your skills developed in hospitality can result in high earnings! Some recruitment skills are honed over time, but starting off on the right foot is key… and that’s easier when your skills are transferable!

Key transferable Hospitality skills:

• Customer-focused
  Your job revolves around people - you are talking to people all day, building relationships and selling. Your communication skills are key to this role. Excellent customer service is part of your job, creating a level of trust with customers and being informative.
• Selling skills
  You’re used to persuasive communication, selling products constantly day-to-day. Learning the products you are selling, using creativity to sell, and ensuring you are passionate in order to convince the customers.
• Teamwork
  You can’t avoid teamwork in a hospitality role. Working with other team members, such as waiters or front of house staff, or working with managers or supervisors … you are used to creating a seamless system that benefits both the team and customers.
• Work ethic
  A strong work ethic is key in this role - as the hours can be long, the work hard, and the pressure high! Working hard is important for professional and personal success, proving what kind of character you are and how much you want to progress in your career.
• Customer-focused
  Working in hospitality, your work is first and foremost about the customers! Focusing on their experience is key to a successful business - the customer is always right. Spending every day meeting your customer’s needs...
• Multitasking
  Handling many tasks at once, balancing the scales and ensuring all customers are happy with their orders. Working to a plan, but also being flexible to deal with things as they happen - serving, making food, preparing tables, greeting people, dealing with complications… every day is varied!
