The challenge of any company is to attract qualified personnel, the more prepared the better. Hiring staff at HORECA is just as necessary and difficult.
Each of the employees is the representative of your brand and your business with each client, diner or guest. That is why it is key to get staff, in addition to being qualified, but who are really interested in your business, who are committed and feel identified with your business and its brand.
Nothing like the technology to obtain such personnel.
Most mobiles are smartphones in Spain, and of them, about 87% use it daily to consult social networks, among which we can consider social networks and job search applications.
Not being present on mobile phones and social networks implies closing the door to people with excellent skills and academic preparation.
