Demand for talent set to continue for hospitality recruiters
With 2023 well underway and as thoughts turn to recruitment for a hopefully busy summer season, there is plenty for employers in hospitality to consider. We look at what our latest jobs data reveals about hiring and talent demand in the hospitality industry.
Hiring in hospitality changes pace
Hiring in hospitality changed pace in the Autumn, according to our most recent analysis of job posting data. The reopening rebound experienced by the industry has dissipated. However, hospitality continues to surpass all other sectors on Jobs.ie when it comes to the sheer number of available opportunities.
Hospitality employers offering higher pay
Jobs.ie has been delighted to partner with Fáilte Ireland to examine hiring and recruitment in the hospitality sector. The research reveals employers are increasing pay rates, introducing more worker-friendly shift patterns as well as compensating staff for unsocial hours to make the industry more attractive to jobseekers.
How and why to promote employee wellbeing
You hear a lot about health and wellbeing at work these days, but what does it mean, and why does it matter? Health and wellbeing at work encompasses staff’s physical and mental health and can assist people in developing and maintaining a positive attitude toward their job, colleagues and the wider business.
New pay agreement for the childcare sector
As demand for childcare professionals increases, a new pay agreement to provide pay increases and a wage structure for early learning and childcare workers has been approved by the Government.
Demand for hospitality staff unrelenting
Ireland’s summer season is well underway, and the demand for talent in hospitality is unrelenting. Our analysis of job posting data over the last three months shows that jobs in the industry are up 60% compared to the same time last year and have grown 18% compared to the first three months of 2022. The hospitality sector’s rebound from Covid is almost complete, with jobs now within shouting distance of their pre-pandemic levels.
What is happening in the job market?
Recruitment levels have been extremely unstable throughout the pandemic, and macroeconomic factors such as the conflict in Ukraine and the rise of inflation are still having a huge impact on the market. We take a quick look at what trends we have seen and take a look at how they may play out in 2022.
