We’re in the middle of the busiest time of the year for the hospitality industry. Whether you need extra coverage or are planning for an employee’s leave of absence, temporary hospitality staff can help. At Hospitality Taskforce, we specialize in sourcing the best talent for upper-level roles. If you’re thinking about hiring for temporary roles, you may be curious if our contractors can fill remote or hybrid positions. Here’s what you need to know: 

Consider the Responsibilities of the Position

We network with experienced contractors who can fill various important roles within the hospitality industry. Although many positions require a candidate to work in person at the property, other roles may be remote or hybrid, depending on your preferences. If the position they’re filling in for has previously been remote, you should feel confident that our contractors can step in without issue. Ultimately, the choice between in-person, remote, or a hybrid structure hinges on the job’s responsibilities and what will work well for the team. 

Provide an In-Person Training Period 

If you determine that a role such as Director of Finance or Director of Sales and Marketing would be well-suited to a remote or hybrid worker, we recommend starting with at least a few days of in-person training. This will allow the new hire to get a feel for the property and responsibilities and have their computer or other devices set up by the IT department. Plus, it’s always nice to put a face to a name. For longer-term temporary roles (upwards of three months), it may be helpful to have the contractor come in occasionally to provide updates or get to know the team better. 

Although remote and hybrid roles are less common in the hospitality industry, they still exist and can be an excellent fit for the right candidates. Many upper-level professionals perform exceptionally well in these roles and will have no problem meeting (and exceeding) expectations. We’d be honored to be your first point of contact if you’re considering hiring temporary hospitality staff. With more than two decades in the industry, we’ve developed an elite network of contractors to fill any management-level position. Whether you’re specifically hiring for a remote or hybrid assignment or need someone to come in full-time, we can connect you with ideal candidates. Please contact our team or submit a request for a proposal to get started.
