Marriott is an American multinational company that operates, franchises, and licenses lodging including hotel, residential, and timeshare properties. A partner of Marriott, the Golden Real Estate Investment Group works to develop, acquire and manage assets in the commercial, residential and tourism industries.
Challenge
Kristopher King, Development Manager at Golden Real Estate Investment Group, was looking for qualified applicants to fill a variety of open positions at two Marriott hotels in one Canadian location. He wanted a fast, simple and efficient hiring solution that gave better results than his current recruiting channels. After working to fill the jobs for a few months and finding a lack of candidates available to work in the region, King partnered with Talent.com in July 2021 to help him find the candidates he needed.
Solution
The first solution provided by the Talent.com team was to geo expand the Marriott campaign and distribute their jobs nationally in Canada to more populated cities, asking candidates to relocate. The job platform also utilized its diverse traffic sources to get the Marriott openings in front of a wider range of candidates, all without King and his team having to do much more than make a few phone calls.
“The weekly meetings made this process so simple,” says King. “Unlike some other online recruiting agencies, they did all the work for the job ad, distribution through their network, and ensuring posting in multiple regions and cities, provided metrics, and all at a very fair pricing. The process was effortless.”
Working with Talent.com has made it so fast to post, change reach markets across Canada, and pivot targeted locations with a text message, phone call or email. I didn’t have to spend extra time navigating dashboards, cumbersome workflows, and learning new technology. They were able to build solutions to my ideas, tweak job posts to drill down the perfect candidate call to action. It was too easy!
Results
With Talent.com’s account managers and client success analysts on the Marriott case, several hires were made after a quick three-month campaign.
“Talent.com’s on-demand assistance was so easy to manage and well worth the spend. And at a lower rate than DIY competitors!” says King.
