Indeed Hospitality Trends 2019 vs 2022: A Two-Fold Crisis
- By Harri Insider Team | June 6, 2022
The hospitality industry is experiencing a shortage of skilled front-of-house staff and chefs, as workers continue to quit their jobs en masse. While this was both inevitable and unavoidable, it looks like things could be far worse than imagined.Â
Our partner Indeed – one of the top job search websites in the world – recently published a report comparing hospitality job statistics in London from 2019 and 2022. The findings reveal a two-fold crisis relating to assistant managers and recruitment managers.
Assistant managers 2019 vs 2022
As of March 2022, there’s been a 31% increase in assistant manager jobs posted in London compared to 2019. But there are now 28% fewer applicants, despite the attractive salary on offer. If hospitality businesses don’t have assistant managers in place to lead change and guide front-line staff, it can cause gaps in areas like training and progression. That’s why you need to rethink the way you recruit, so you can attract and identify the very best candidates (more on this soon!).
Recruitment managers 2019 vs 2022
With hiring activity finally picking up after the pandemic, it’s no surprise that there’s been a 60% increase in London-based recruitment manager jobs this year. Despite this, there are 4% fewer applicants for the role. While this figure may seem insignificant, it could indicate that these people sought work in other sectors, such as retail. What’s more, bringing them back could prove costly in terms of time and money. But what if you don’t have to?Â
It’s time to rethink recruitment
Indeed’s report also revealed that in 2022, 60% of candidates are viewing job ads on their phones.
