Providing Dorset & Hampshire with Hospitality Staffing Solutions
Are you struggling to find hospitality staffing solutions in the Dorset or Hampshire area? You’re not alone! And here’s why:
Data from ONS states that UK hospitality job vacancies decreased by 4,000 between November 2022 and January 2023. This is great news, or so we thought. However, the hunt for staff remains as tough as ever. More people are leaving the service industry today than at any point since the start of the pandemic back in March 2020.
At the beginning of 2023, there were 146,000 vacant hospitality roles in the UK. That’s equal to the number of people it would take to fill Saint Mary’s Stadium four and a half times over!
A successful business’ biggest asset is its team. This is why recruitment and the retention of great staff is so vital. If you are a company based in Dorset or Hampshire and are in need of a recruiting hand, Platinum Recruitment can help. Fill in the form below to find out how we can:
