Koninklijke Horeca Nederland launches job platform for the hospitality industry

Like most sectors, the hospitality industry is still struggling with labour shortages. And this is expected to continue in the coming years. That is why Koninklijke Horeca Nederland (KHN), together with digital partner OnJobs, is launching a new vacancy platform for the hotel and catering industry. This platform, part of komwerkenindehoreca.nl, has been specially designed to meet the needs of KHN members. The hospitality job platform of the Netherlands will make it easier for entrepreneurs to recruit new employees. 

On the platform, traditional recruitment methods give way to renewed job marketing. KHN chairman Marijke Vuik: "We actively enthuse promising candidates via social media, even if they are not (yet) actively looking within the sector themselves. By visually promoting companies and their vacancies on komwerkenindehoreca.nl and social media, we ensure that vacancies reach the right hospitality talent directly."

The job platform comes at a crucial time. Despite a clear recovery after the pandemic, the hospitality industry is still facing an ongoing shortage. Labour market developments such as ageing, high labour market mobility and fewer skilled workers also contribute to the staff shortage. This is precisely why it is vital to take steps in the field of job marketing to attract the right talent. 

This job platform is specially designed for the hospitality industry and exclusively for members of KHN. Hospitality entrepreneurs who are looking for the perfect candidate and are members of KHN can promote their vacancies on the platform via their member portal MijnKHN at a competitive rate.

The job platform is part of the large-scale image campaign and platform of the same name 'Kom werken in de horeca'. With this campaign, KHN is working hard to improve the image of working in the hospitality industry in an attempt to reduce staff shortages. After all, the hospitality industry is a very suitable sector for a long-term career. There are plenty of development opportunities. Through inspiring content, tools and tips on www.komwerkenindehoreca.nl, KHN helps hospitality entrepreneurs reach the right people and put the hospitality industry on the map as the industry to work in. The 'Come and work in the hospitality industry' campaign is a hospitality-specific addition to the hospitality-wide campaign 'Discover Hospitality', in which KHN is also participating.

Working in the hospitality industry is surprisingly versatile. From hotel to restaurant, from (food) café to wellness resort and from bowling alley to amusement park: the hospitality industry is a multifaceted sector. In which you can build a career, get the best out of yourself and gain skills that will serve you for the rest of your life. Do you fancy a job in the hospitality industry?
