The travel recruitment market is evolving, and hiring managers are facing a noticeable shift in both candidate behaviour and hiring outcomes.

A family friend recently attended a group interview and arrived to find 75 people interviewing for 3 jobs. However, what left her feeling disappointed was actually the fact that after attending the interview she didn't receive any feedback.

Several travel operators and cruise lines are posting roles on LinkedIn, great companies and exciting opportunities. It makes complete sense to use your network, but are your job adverts reaching the right people?

In today's competitive job market, finding the right talent can be a daunting task. Many companies spread their efforts across multiple recruitment agencies, hoping to cast a wider net. However, there's a compelling case for concentrating your efforts and building a strong partnership with a single recruitment agency.

There's nothing more frustrating than watching brilliant candidates slip through your fingers. After two decades in travel recruitment I've witnessed countless travel companies reach that pivotal moment where DIY hiring transforms from a cost-saving measure into a costly mistake. Recognising when you need specialist help to find these rare gems is crucial for your company's future success.

Too often, employers fall into the trap of thinking the interview is a one-sided performance. In truth, both parties are making a significant decision. Preparation is just as vital on your side of the table. How prepared are you?
