Harri Partner with Job-Matching Platform Candid Hospitality
- By Harri Insider Team | July 31, 2025
[London, UK – July 2025] – Harri, the global frontline employee experience platform built for hospitality, and Candid Hospitality, the pioneering job-matching platform for the sector, are now in an exclusive partnership: the Candid and Harri integration is now live.
Candid Hospitality is the UK’s first matchmaking platform built specifically for the hospitality sector – with a blind hiring twist; all candidates and employees are kept 100% anonymous.
Combining deep industry insight with smart technology, Candid connects operators with talent based on what really matters: Culture, competencies, and compensation with no risk and no subconscious bias. The result? A matched hiring process that puts opportunities in front of passive and active job seekers, tailored to their profile. With over 5,000 registered candidates since their launch in March 2025.
Dan Maimone, Global Head of Customer Experience said “I’m really proud to share something that’s been in the works for a while and very close to home. Over the past year, we’ve been working closely with the brilliant team at Candid Hospitality. From early product conversations to feedback loops and hands-on testing, we’ve seen first-hand how committed they are to solving one of hospitality’s toughest challenges: finding quality candidates who actually fit the industry and more precisely the business. Every business is unique and so is every person so having that connection from the start is crucial.”
Seamless Integration for Faster, Smarter Hiring
Harri’s robust Talent Acquisition Program is now fully integrated with Candid Hospitality, giving operators access to a vast, passive talent pool while drastically cutting down on admin. Employers can now automatically sync jobs from Harri into Candid and instantly advance top candidates from Candid into their Harri workflow with just one click. That means no more double entry, spreadsheets, or missed matches.
Sam Brown, co-founder of Candid Hospitality shared “our mission is to ensure the right person ends up in the right seat as often as possible within UK hospitality. Our anonymous marketplace matches candidates with the most suitable roles based on culture, competencies and compensation – whilst removing all risk & bias. Our integration with Harri not only gives us access to ten of thousands of live jobs, but also allows operators to deliver rapid, repeatable results. Pushing the best candidates into Harri’s ATS, and passing the baton over to their best in class, employee experience platform – turning candidates into colleagues.”
More Jobs, Better Matches for Candidates
For job seekers, the integration means even more opportunities. With instant, real-time matching based on culture, skills, and compensation. The application journey is faster and more personalised than ever.
Dan continues “Their approach is refreshingly different. It’s not just about filling roles; it’s about understanding the rhythm, the culture, and the human side of hospitality. That’s what makes this such a natural fit with Harri.”
Launch Offer: Three Months Free for Harri Users
To celebrate the launch, Candid are offering all Harri customers three months of complimentary access to the Candid pilot scheme from August through October 2025. Operators can try for free by contacting hello@candidhospitality.co.uk or signing up here. All they ask in exchange is plenty of feedback, as they continue to evolve the platform.
Dan adds “Today, I’m excited to officially welcome Candid into the Harri ecosystem as an integrated partner. What does that mean for our customers? You’ll now be able to tap into Candid’s curated candidate pool directly from your Harri workflow. Matching becomes smarter, faster, and more relevant to your roles. This isn’t just a plug-and-play feature. It’s the result of thoughtful collaboration, shared values, and a lot of time spent thinking about how to make hiring better for our industry. A huge thank you to the Candid team for their partnership. I can’t wait to see the impact this will have for the teams we support. Let’s get to work.”
