February 2023 marked the 26th consecutive month of employment gains in the restaurant industry – representing a total increase of nearly 2.5 million jobs. Finding the right staff for a restaurant can be an arduous task for any business. With tight budget constraints, shrinking labor pools, and ever-evolving customer needs, restaurants have to find ways of streamlining their recruiting efforts to stay ahead of the competition.

Enter OnDemand Recruiting : a powerful technology changing how restaurant owners source, recruit, and onboard new staff members quickly and cost-effectively. In this blog post, we’ll look at how on-demand recruiting is revolutionizing the recruitment process in the hospitality industry.

Did You Know? Before the coronavirus pandemic, the restaurant and food service industry was the nation's second-largest private sector employer, providing 15.4 million jobs – or 10% of the total U.S. workforce.

Gain Control of the Hiring Process

OnDemand Recruiting offers numerous benefits for those managing restaurants. From saving time, money, and resources to reducing stress levels, OnDemand Recruiting gives managers more control in the recruitment process. Instead of spending days or weeks searching through stacks of resumes or waiting for applications to trickle in, restaurant managers can use OnDemand Recruiting to source potential candidates who meet their qualifications quickly.

The food service industry is forecast to reach $997B in sales in 2023, driven partly by higher menu prices. 

OnDemand recruitment gives managers access to a larger pool of qualified candidates quickly and efficiently, and it also helps them screen those potential hires better. With a few clicks on an online platform, they can read more about each candidate’s education level, job experience, and personal background before engaging. This helps reduce the time spent interviewing unqualified applicants and provides employers with more accurate information about their prospective hires before making any decisions.
