Pricing:

It's free to access the network and post limited visibility job offers. However, employers must purchase credits to connect with candidates and access the entire resume database.

Review:

Hosco is a membership-based hospitality network that offers Canadian employers a platform to promote their business and attract top hospitality talent from across the globe. Hosco features a host of useful resources for job seekers and employers, including a job board, a list of hospitality and tourism courses, and bespoke recruitment solutions.

Hosco is ideal for both employers and educational institutions in the industry. While joining the network is free, credits or a membership subscription must be purchased in order to post jobs. The website receives over 300,000 visits each month; however, at the time of writing, there are only around 1,400 Canadian jobs listed on the site.

Pros:

  • Hosco is a free job posting site dedicated to the hospitality industry.
  • The platform allows employers to create detailed company profiles.
  • Employers have access to Hosco consultants and tailored recruitment plans for mass hiring.
  • The employer account dashboard includes an analytics page to monitor posts and profile traffic.
  • The premium plan distributes jobs to Hosco members and over 400 partner hospitality schools.
  • Employers have access to the candidate database of over 1.5 million members with the premium plans.
  • The platform integrates with employers' applicant tracking systems (ATS).
  • Hosco automatically screens candidates and matches them with job opportunities.
  • The site features a number of employer resources, such as job descriptions, HR trends, and recruitment tips.
  • The platform features an app for both iOS and Android.

Cons:

  • Job posts are not syndicated to other job boards for increased exposure.
  • The platform lacks social media promotion.
  • The company lacks a local Canadian customer support number.

Reputation:

Hosco has mixed reviews on Trustpilot and has a rating of 1.9 out of 5 stars. Some users praised the platform as a useful career resource, while others complained the website was a scam, having issues with account creation, deletion, and scammer emails.

Hosco vs. Hcareers:

Both Hosco and Hcareers target a similar audience of professionals in the hospitality industry. The platforms offer similar features, such as an ATS, company branding services, and a range of career resources for job seekers. Hcareers focuses primarily on the North American job market, whereas Hosco caters to the global hospitality job market.

Hosco vs. EightSix Network:

While Hosco is a global hospitality network based out of Europe, EightSix Network is a niche job portal that caters specifically to hospitality professionals in Canada. While Hosco charges for job posts, EightSix Network allows for free job postings. If you're recruiting locally, EightSix Network is the more focused and affordable option.

Hosco vs. Hospitalityjobs.ca:

Hospitalityjobs.ca is not a global platform like Hosco, but offers Canadian employers looking to recruit local talent a better defined, local audience. However, if you're looking for top talent from across the globe, Hosco is the better choice and also offers more in terms of resources as well as bespoke recruitment solutions.
