Best Western launches recruitment website

Best Western, the largest group of independently owned hotels in Great Britain, has launched a new recruitment website in conjunction with caterer.com.

The new site - www.bestwesternjobs.co.uk - is designed to respond to the industryís notorious recruiting difficulties by providing Best Western hotels with the ability to post jobs and fill vacancies both efficiently and cost-effectively.

Job seekers will be able to apply for specific vacancies, register their details and be informed of the latest opportunities as and when they are posted on the Best Western site. All positions will also be automatically posted on caterer.com - the leading online recruitment site for the hospitality industry.

The hospitality industry is renowned for its problems in recruiting and retaining professional staff. Turnover in the industry is high and recruiting new employees can be costly and time consuming. Comments Karen Packham, director of HR at Best Western. As a membership organisation, we have a duty to our members in helping to provide them with a solution to industry-wide issues such as this, and as such, Iím delighted new partnership with the caterer.com has been so well received throughout the membership base.

Best Western has over 320 individually owned and managed hotels throughout Great Britain.

There are benefits for job seekers too. Karen added: Best Western hotels are renowned for providing excellent levels of customer service whilst offering the individuals flexible career options and a superb working environment.

By working in a Best Western hotel, individuals can reap the benefits associated with a global hotel brand, within a relatively small hotel environment. With the introduction of the new site, we hope to recruit professional, high quality individuals to ensure our customers continue to receive the highest levels of service possible.
