Let’s kick things off with a couple of stats first. As of September 2024, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 948,000 open roles in hospitality [1]. And that’s not all—over the next five years, the industry is expected to face a talent gap of 13-14 million workers [2]. With such a high demand for skilled staff, finding the right candidates quickly is crucial. The competition is fierce, and the best candidates are snatched up in no time. That’s why combining CloudApper’s AI recruiting solution with UKG/Kronos Pro Recruiting is a smart move—it helps you hire hospitality staff 97% faster and more effectively.

Speed is everything in hospitality recruitment. The faster you can reach job seekers, the better your chances of filling those roles. CloudApper makes this easy with a clever feature—QR code job applications. Imagine a candidate walking past your hotel lobby or restaurant, scanning a QR code on a sign, and applying for a job right then and there. It’s simple, convenient, and ensures you don’t lose out on potential talent.

But it doesn’t stop there. CloudApper’s conversational AI adds a personal touch to the hospitality staff hiring process with UKG/Kronos Pro Recruiting. It chats with candidates, asking about their experience, skills, and availability. The best part? It doesn’t feel robotic or awkward—it’s a natural conversation. Meanwhile, the AI does the heavy lifting, screening candidates instantly and providing you with a shortlist of the best matches. No more endless piles of resumes to go through—it’s quick, efficient, and lets you focus on what really matters.

Scheduling interviews can be a time-consuming back-and-forth. CloudApper takes care of this too. The AI handles the scheduling, finding times that work for both your team and the candidates. No missed appointments or wasted time—it’s all smooth and seamless, keeping candidates engaged and your hiring process on track.

And when it’s time to make an offer, CloudApper keeps the momentum going. It can generate personalized offer letters in minutes, so you’re not held back by paperwork. This fast turnaround gives candidates a great impression of your company and ensures you don’t miss out on top talent.

In the hospitality world, every open position has a direct impact. Delayed hiring means longer wait times for customers, overworked staff, and ultimately, unhappy guests. By using CloudApper’s AI recruiting solution alongside UKG/Kronos Pro Recruiting, you can fill vacancies quickly, secure skilled candidates, and keep your operations running smoothly.

The hospitality industry thrives on delivering great experiences—and that starts with building a strong team. With AI simplifying the hiring process, you can focus on what you do best: creating unforgettable moments for your guests.
