Vancouver, Canada - Sep 16, 2008:
Employers in the hospitality industry can now fast track their way to quality candidates, offered exclusively at Hcareers. The leading online job board for the hospitality industry announced its partnership with CorVirtus, the leading provider of assessments proven to identify candidates who can deliver extraordinary customer experiences.
With the labor and economic challenges in North America, innovative hospitality employers are adopting new hiring strategies to acquire top talent and reduce turnover.
For years the hospitality industry has recognized that you cannot teach or train someone to demonstrate extraordinary customer service. “After twenty years of collecting data from job candidates in the hospitality industry, we challenged ourselves to develop pre-employment tests which would allow hospitality employers to know, before they hired a job seeker, if they had what it takes to deliver extraordinary customer experiences, “ explains CorVirtus President, David Hyatt. “Our Drive for Service” test resulted from this ground breaking research.”
“Hcareers specializes in bringing the right talent pool to hospitality’s doorstep. One of the biggest challenges our clients share with us is the time consuming process of matching a job candidate with the service culture they need. Combining our talent pool with the Drive for Service assessment developed specifically for hospitality solves a big pain point in screening job applicants, and will provide our clients with real market advantage by reducing their time-to hire and improving retention.” says Wes Crews, CEO of Hcareers. “We believe this will serve as the new standard for hiring in our industry.”
Rather than focus on a large volume of people to fill roles, hospitality employers can use Drive for Service to target people who will be a better fit, perform better and stay longer. Candidates can complete the test online with their job application, or in the hiring office of the property via a pen and paper test. This partnership combines the proven credibility of CorVirtus with Hcareers’ broad marketing reach amongst the top hospitality brands across North America.
