The website contains information for both individuals seeking a job or already working in hospitality, as well as for employers and training providers.
UKSP, the award-winning careers website from People 1st, forms the backbone of the new Guild site and all 52,000 current UKSP registered users will be offered a year’s free membership to the
Hospitality Guild when they transfer over to the Guild portal – www.hospitalityguild.co.uk – which will give them access to a range of additional benefits, discounts and information.
Tools such as careers map, personality test and other resources have all been incorporated in the new site.
For employers, the site will signpost the best training solutions from the Guild’s partnership organisations, showcase accredited providers offering excellence in hospitality education and host a wealth of practical resources to support businesses.
Employers are able to upload their vacancies free of charge and showcase their organisations, jobs and careers to a huge bank of hospitality job-seekers. Individuals will be able to upload their CVs and create up to date profiles for employers to search for key skills and experience.
Suzy Jackson, the Hospitality Guild’s executive director, said: “We are delighted to announce free Guild membership for hospitality and tourism members of the award-winning UKSP website. This is the ideal way to welcome members into the Guild family and celebrate the launch of our web portal which we believe will revolutionise professional development in the industry.
“Those joining us from UKSP will still have access to the fantastic tools they enjoyed as well as many more tailored to their chosen industry. Free membership to the Guild for the first year will allow individuals to enhance their professional reputation, gain networking opportunities, save money on training products and programmes and more.”
