Hospitality Online

Review:

Hospitality Online offers a comprehensive range of hiring services, including applicant tracking and social media sharing, to connect with an extensive pool of global talent in the hospitality sector. The job board also features several tools missing from competitor platforms, including CV archiving and branded email campaigns.

Outside the U.S., the second-highest number of site visitors come from the U.K and local employers may find the platform ideal for filling remote positions in the hospitality industry. However, pricing is not available in pounds sterling and the job board does not offer local customer support.

Pros:

• Hospitality Online has a global presence, with staff in the U.S., Africa, Indonesia, India, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East.
• Jobs are grouped by category, state, or popularity, so vacancies are easier to find.
• With cross-posting features, employers can post to listings other job boards, such as Craigslist and SnagAJob.
• The job board provides access to a talent pool comprising hospitality professionals from all over the world.
• Employers can promote their listings on social media, build employer profiles, and brand their company or property.
• The applicant tracking tool includes Indeed Easy Apply that feeds jobs from the site to Indeed, allowing for direct job applications.
• CV archiving and free printed flyers are available.
• Employers can design branded email campaigns to market career fairs and increase the visibility of job openings.
• Hospitality Online has been used by several well-known brands, such as Hotel Indigo, Hilton, Sheraton, and Marriot.

Cons:

• The site receives less than 2% of its traffic from the U.K., which may not appeal to local employers.
• There is no local office or customer support.
• There are no multilingual sites, which may deter candidates from other parts of Europe from applying.
• Hospitality Online's pricing is only available in U.S. dollars.
• Job seekers cannot filter for jobs in the United Kingdom; they can only search by city.
