Why Targeting The Under 30s Is Key To Solving Recruitment

Mark McCulloch from Hospitality Rising discusses with co-hosts Timothy R Andrews & Sarah Kettel the current recruitment crisis in Hospitality.

He shares how Hospitality Rising was formed and how it tackled head on the poor reception Hospitality has an employer.

In todays' episode find out how a ransom letter to a fishy company led Mark into Hospitality and how not being able to get a coffee in the morning led to a significant step to kick starting Hospitality Rising.

Mark also shares why he hasn't been targeting schools and people over 55, but why targeting the under 30s is key to addressing the staffing shortage and poor perception of Hospitality.

He reveals the brands that inspired Hospitality Rising, the power of Tik Tok and his confusion over Bratwursts.

So go on - grab a cuppa and stick the Kettel on.

Co-hosted by Timothy R. Andrews and Sarah Kettel.
