The holiday rush has officially begun! If you’ve found yourself caught off guard this year, we can help you connect with top-quality candidates for temporary positions. Whether you’re looking for short-term contractors to lend a hand during the next couple of months or need assistance with a longer-term project, call us. We’d love to help you fill temporary hospitality jobs with the most experienced candidates available. Are you curious how our contractors can provide value during the holiday rush? Here’s a look at how they can be an asset to your property: 

Generate Sales 

The holiday season provides an excellent opportunity for properties to rent event spaces or keep rooms fully booked. However, this endeavor requires a great sales and marketing team. If you’re short on sales staff and need extra assistance, we can connect you with high-quality candidates with a wealth of experience in this area. Whether you’re looking for a temporary Director of Sales, Sales Manager, or Director of Sales and Marketing, our contractors can step into these critical roles with little training. 

Keep Communication Running Smoothly

Although many reservations are made online, friendly reception staff is still necessary. If the phones are ringing off the wall and your permanent team members are overrun, it may be time to invest in temporary staffing solutions. We prioritize excellent communication, and each contractor we work with can expertly handle guest-facing tasks without missing a beat. Tensions run high during the holidays, and you need staff members who can diffuse difficult situations without getting stressed or overwhelmed. 

Streamline Operations 

Even during this busy season, it’s wise to streamline operations and plan for the upcoming year. Since we exclusively fill upper-level positions, our team members are uniquely equipped to help your team maximize efficiency and improve workflow. Each candidate has at least 10 years of experience in their field, and we consistently hear that our contractors provide exceptional insight and support. 

The holiday rush is already in full swing, and if your property could use some temporary support, we can help. Since 2003, Hospitality Taskforce has built an elite network of top contractors to fill temporary hospitality jobs. If you’re interested in connecting with the best talent in the industry, please contact our team or submit a request for a proposal. 

If your property is in need of executives on a permanent or temporary basis, a confidential search may be beneficial. All properties require competent, experienced leaders to uphold and enhance the brand’s reputation, but these top-level candidates can be challenging to find. Interested in learning more about how to conduct confidential searches for temporary hotel staffing? Here, we share a few of the top mistakes that hospitality companies make during this type of hiring: 

Leaving the Candidate in the Dark 

The sensitive nature of confidential searches is innately secretive, but that doesn’t mean that candidates should be left in the dark. In order to successfully navigate the process and start off on the right foot, trust-building should happen right away. Don’t leave a candidate wondering why you’re opting for a confidential search, because they may come to unfavorable assumptions (read: that you’re blindsiding a current employee or that your company has a bad reputation). Regardless of your reasoning, it’s best to be upfront with interviewees so they know right away that your intentions are good. 

Forgetting to Sell the Brand

Contacting a candidate for a confidential search feels (and is) exclusive, but you shouldn’t forget to sell the brand during the interview process. Although most individuals will feel honored to be considered for this type of candidacy, the best talent will always have other options. While you’re conducting interviews, be sure to sell the brand. Get candidates excited about the possibility of the role, and do your part to ensure a smooth and convenient process for interviewees. 

Failing to Use a Reputable Staffing Agency 

Because confidential searches typically involve just a few key hiring managers, it’s easy for internal communication to go awry. To streamline the process for all involved, consider working with a leading staffing agency. With an elite network of professionals on your side, you’ll improve the chances of landing the ideal executive without having to worry about communication complications. 

Confidential searches are growing in popularity, but that doesn’t mean they’re easy to navigate. If you’re interested in conducting a confidential search for temporary hotel staffing, our team is here to help. We specialize in sourcing top talent for the hospitality industry, including executive-level positions. When you’re ready to learn more about working with us, please reach out or submit a request for proposal. We look forward to hearing from you and connecting you with qualified candidates who will bring years of expertise to your property.  

If hotel renovations are in the works for your property, you may already be thinking about how to navigate the changes ahead. Although renovated hotels often attract more guests and command higher room rates, there’s no getting around the fact that this time can be stressful for property managers and hotel workers. Whether the upgrades are imminent or you’re just beginning the planning process, you should know that temporary hospitality staff can help you make it through the renovation with minimal impact on operations. Interested in learning how our top-tier candidates can support your property before, during, and after a reno? Here’s what you should consider: 

An Extra Pair of Hands

When a renovation is underway, the property has a different feel. Staff members often feel flustered or overwhelmed, especially when certain areas are closed off. During this hectic time, having extra support from seasoned workers is helpful. If specific departments are stretched thin and need additional help, our contractors can step in without a second thought. Even with minimal training, you can expect the best from anyone we send your way. 

Project Management

At Hospitality Taskforce, we only consider the most experienced individuals. If you’re interested in working with someone who can take charge of a project at any stage, we can connect you with qualified contractors. Planning is a critical part of the renovation process, and the entire property can benefit from the expertise of a skilled project manager. 

Communication and Collaboration

While renovations are ongoing, guests’ concerns or questions aren’t uncommon. When you need someone who can professionally handle any situation with guests, we have contractors who fit the bill. Many of the independent contractors we work with have decades of experience in customer-facing positions, so you can feel confident in their communication and collaboration abilities. Many contractors have experience with renovations and can bring that knowledge to your team.

If you’re planning or executing renovations, congratulations! Upgrades have a great ROI, and chances are good that the short-term sacrifice will pay off. Although this process can be challenging, our contractors will support your team and minimize stress. If you’re interested in connecting with temporary hospitality staff who are familiar with renovation needs, please reach out to us. We’d love to connect you with quality candidates who can help you navigate renovations without a hitch. To learn more, please contact our team or submit an RFP. 

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. 

We encourage you to contact our team if you’re searching for hospitality taskforce jobs. Since our founding in 2003, we’ve built an elite network that benefits contractors and properties. We consistently source the highest quality candidates, so many clients trust us to fill temporary vacancies. As a top-tier staffing agency, we’re discerning who we work with. Curious about what we look for in a contractor? Here, we share the qualities that are most important to us. If you bring these to the table, we want to hear from you!

A Proven Record of Success

Part of the reason our clients trust us is because we prioritize experience. We believe there’s no substitute for a strong track record, so candidates must have at least ten years of experience in their preferred role. We’ve found that the fast-paced nature of temporary positions requires an individual who’s confident in their expertise and has excellent references to back them up. 

Adaptability & Flexibility

One of the most important qualities we look for in a candidate is adaptability. When stepping into a task force assignment, you join a team with an established group dynamic and existing relationships. Adapting and being flexible in your work style and approach is helpful. We love working with individuals who can feel at home at any property. Quickly immersing yourself in the hotel’s working culture and familiarizing yourself with the team is crucial to your success.

Willing to Learn (and Teach)

Even though we require candidates to have a wealth of experience, we strongly prefer contractors who keep an open mind on each assignment. To continue to improve your skill set, you should approach each opportunity with a willingness to learn. You never know what new knowledge you might pick up on the job! On the contrary, we encourage contractors to step into a mentor role when necessary and appropriate. If you have ideas for improving workflow, don’t hesitate to make suggestions once you have spent some time and built rapport with the team and your direct report. Your experience speaks for itself; most teams are happy to consider recommendations. 

With the busy season in full swing for the hospitality industry, many property managers are urgently hiring for temporary positions. Our staffing agency proudly connects high-quality candidates with upper-level roles in all departments. We’re always eager to meet individuals who exemplify the qualities above, so if you fit the description, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact our team if you’d like to learn more about upcoming hospitality taskforce jobs. 

As we head into the busiest season of the year for the hospitality industry, you may already be thinking about the coverage you need. If you anticipate a need for temporary hospitality staff, consider working with an agency to connect you with the highly experienced candidates you need. Whether you’re looking for a short-term Assistant General Manager, Director of Finance, Executive Chef, or other upper-level positions, we can assist you in finding the best fit. In our industry, there’s no substitute for experience. All aspects of your property’s success depend upon qualified individuals to create an unparalleled guest experience. Interested in learning more about why candidate experience is crucial? Here, we share a few reasons to never compromise on a solid background: 

Minimize Training Time 

Efficiency is critical during the summer months, so you’ll need someone who can step right into the role with minimal training. Each of our contractors has at least ten years of experience in their field, so you can feel confident that all responsibilities will be handled with expertise. Because our contractors are well-versed in temporary assignments, most will just need a quick overview of the property and expectations before starting. When you can save time and energy on training, other team members will be free to focus on their specific roles. 

Maintain Brand Reputation

In the hospitality industry, brand reputation is paramount. Your brand depends upon creating a positive guest experience, so prioritizing high-quality hires is necessary. Property managers who want to maintain (or improve) brand perception must be committed to finding excellent candidates for every position. If you’re tired of wasting time and energy reviewing sub-par resumes and conducting disappointing interviews, we can help. Tell us what you’re looking for, and we’ll use our elite network to send you the best candidates. 

Experience is essential in any industry but especially critical for the hospitality sector. As we head into the summertime, you’re likely gearing up for an influx of guests. If you’re expecting a need for temporary coverage due to medical leave or parental leave, now is the time to start the search for contractors. If you have the coverage you need before the busy season is in full swing, you’ll ensure that your property is adequately prepared for the challenge ahead. When you’re ready to start finding qualified temporary hospitality staff, we’re here to help. Please submit an RFP or contact our team to discuss upcoming staffing needs. We look forward to hearing from you and connecting you with the most talented individuals in the hospitality industry. 

We’re gearing up for the busy season again in the hospitality industry. If you’re anticipating a need for temporary coverage, now is the time to reach out to an agency that specializes in hospitality temp staffing. If you have any questions about how our process works, we’re always here to help. One common question we get is whether a single contractor can cover scheduling gaps in multiple locations. The short answer is yes! Here we discuss how this arrangement would work so you can determine if it’s beneficial for your properties: 

How It Works

If you’re thinking about hiring temporary contractors, Hospitality Taskforce is the place to find them. Because short-term positions are so fast-paced, we require each candidate to have a minimum of 10 years of experience in their preferred role. If you’re not sure whether you need temporary contractors, take a moment to evaluate your coverage needs. For example, if you’re looking for at least 10 hours per week at each of your locations, you can almost certainly benefit from working with us. 

We understand the challenges of filling gaps across multiple locations, and we make it easy for property managers to connect with talented contractors. When determining whether one contractor can fill in for more than one location, consider the following: 

• Are all properties located within manageable driving distance of each other? 
• Will the schedule be predictable (i.e.: four hours on Monday and Wednesday mornings and five hours on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons)?
• Is a similar skill set required to perform at each location? (i.e., system and market knowledge)

If you answered yes to these questions, then there’s a strong chance that we can pair you with a contractor who can provide coverage for more than one location. If you’re needing more than 40 hours per week across all locations, more than one contractor may be ideal. Regardless of what you’re looking for, one thing is true: you can’t afford to be understaffed at any property as we head into the busy season. 

When you’re ready to learn more about our hospitality temp staffing services, we’re always here to help. We only partner with the most experienced individuals and have built an elite network since our founding more than 20 years ago. If you have any questions about our process, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re always happy to find solutions that will be the best fit for your properties and team members. 

Peak season for the hospitality industry will be here before we know it. Whether you’re planning ahead for an anticipated absence or thinking through options for extra coverage, consider working with an agency that specializes in hospitality temp services. At Hospitality Taskforce, we understand that management-level positions are critical to the success of your property. If you’re on the search for highly qualified candidates for these vital positions, we’re here to help. Looking for someone who can step into the role of Interim Director of Housekeeping? Here, we share insight on which qualities to prioritize: 

A Proven Record of Success

When you’re searching for a candidate who can temporarily act as Director of Housekeeping, a proven track record is a must. In temporary positions, especially at the upper level, it’s wise to hire individuals who have a wealth of experience to bring to the role. Housekeeping sets the tone for guests, so you’ll want to ensure that the candidates you’re considering have at least 10 years of experience in this department. 

Strong Interpersonal Skills

An Interim Director of Housekeeping must get to know the staff quickly and step in as a trusted leader. Building rapport is important in this role, so strong interpersonal skills are essential. When conducting interviews, be on the lookout for individuals who are great communicators. Ultimately, you should prioritize candidates with excellent people skills, as this will translate well to every aspect of the job. 

Exceptional Organizational Skills 

All individuals in the housekeeping department should have strong organizational skills, but this is especially crucial for an Interim Director. Your Interim Director of Housekeeping will be responsible for detailed tasks such as tracking inventory, maintaining records, and identifying strategies to streamline operations. Because this person will play a direct role in how guests perceive your property, you’ll need someone who has a proven system for meeting goals. 

Housekeeping plays an instrumental role in the guest experience. If your Director of Housekeeping is about to embark on a leave of absence or otherwise leave the role vacant, hiring an Interim Director is of the utmost importance. If you’re on the search for strong candidates to fill this position or other management-level assignments, we’d love to help. Since our founding in 2003, we’ve sourced the best independent contractors available. If you’re interested in learning more about our hospitality temp services, please contact our team or submit an RFP. We’re looking forward to hearing from you and connecting you with highly experienced candidates who are at the top of their field. 

If you’re a seasoned professional in the hospitality industry, you may be interested in taking on a temporary contractor role. There are many benefits to this arrangement, including industry-leading pay and engaging work that allows you to challenge yourself. If you’re already an independent contractor and are interested in growing your career, we have tips to help you succeed. Here, we offer insight for contractors whose goal is to land hospitality taskforce jobs that will enhance their resumé and unlock future opportunities: 

Be a Team Player

Although many temporary assignments last only a few months, it’s still important to be a team player right from the start. The most successful contractors are those who eagerly jump into the role and assist the team however they can. It may be cliché, but you never know who you’ll meet on the job. Putting your best foot forward and working well with the team is a smart career move. 

Provide Value to Others

At Hospitality Taskforce, we seek out experienced temporary workers who have a minimum of 10 years of experience. Our process is rigorous because we want to connect with contractors who can offer exceptional value and easily step into a role with little guidance. When a property is in need of a taskforce, they are typically short staffed so the easier you can make their job, the better. Once you’re on the job, don’t be afraid to step up and provide insight when you see a way to improve operations but do so in a way that is respectful and mindful to the full time team. Even in short-term roles, think of the opportunity as your time to shine. You shine when you elevate the entire team.

Be Willing to Learn

As an upper-level contractor in your field, you’ve amassed a wealth of experience in your area of expertise. Although you undoubtedly have much to offer the property, there’s a lot to be said for adopting a learning mindset when it’s warranted. While you’re on your assignment, be on the lookout for ways to grow your skill set. You just might pick up a new perspective that will serve you well in the future. 

Ask For Feedback

Part of being willing to learn is the ability to ask for feedback. By consulting with the team about your performance and ways to improve, you’ll gain valuable information that you can use in your next role. Whether you receive accolades or constructive criticism, you’ll be better off each time you hear insight from the people you work with. Just remember not to take it personally, and think of it as a learning experience.

Network With an Elite Taskforce Company 

When you’re ready to grow your career as an independent contractor, one of the best things you can do is network with a top-tier taskforce company. By working with an established taskforce agency, you’ll create connections that you may not have found otherwise. 

Working as an independent contractor in Hospitality Taskforce jobs can be an exciting career. If you’re ready to take the next step to grow your network, we’d love to hear from you. Since our founding in 2003, Hospitality Taskforce has grown an extensive network of properties and qualified contractors.
