Hospitality recruitment hopes rise

Better times are ahead for the UK hospitality sector, according to one recruitment expert.

Speaking to Recruiter magazine, Collins King & Associates' director Gary King said the majority of firms believe the worst of the recession is now over, raising hopes that a greater number will be looking to recruit over the coming weeks and months.

He stated: "We had our worst time at the end of last year and the beginning of this year. It is going to be slow at first but things will pick up pace from the end of the summer."

Commenting on the recruitment outlook in general, Mr King claimed there are a number of companies with good expansion plans.

Last month, Nina Johnson-Bennett, managing director at Management Search Executive, proposed that jobs opportunities were now "coming in" as the economy begins to recover.

The opening of a new Travelodge facility in Scarborough recently helped create around 20 hospitality jobs in North Yorkshire.
