Hospitality no Longer Just a job but a Career at Accor
Hospitality has long provided good entry-level opportunities for those starting out in the work force but as one of Australia’s largest employment sectors, hospitality and tourism is not only growing but becoming more serious and considered as a career choice.
Australia’s largest hotel operator, Accor Hotels has launched a new localised careers website – Accorjobs.com.au – to promote the extensive career opportunities available to prospective (and current) employees within the 150 plus Accor Hotels and Resorts across Australia.
Designed with a fresh and fun approach to career development, the website not only highlights Accor’s current job opportunities but also features ‘The Scoop’ a live feed of news, events, employee stories and information to give job seekers a greater insight into working life at Accor.
The dedicated website is a first for Accor in the Asia Pacific region and aims to highlight the wide range of jobs available from food and beverage and front office through to sales and marketing and management positions.
“We spent considerable time researching what job seekers look for online, how we could improve their experience and above all, best speak to those seeking careers within hospitality and tourism sector,” said Accor’s chief operating officer, Simon McGrath.
“We chose to invest in a bespoke website with a modern look and colloquial tone, rather than a corporate style of job site. Our aim is to give job seekers a glimpse of what it’s like to be part of the Accor family in Australia as well as the opportunity to apply for positions with us direct.
“Whilst job opportunities at Accor will still be posted on third party websites, we are very confident that our localised website will be of greater benefit to job seekers and increase direct online applications. As Australia’s largest hotel group and hospitality employer, we take career progression very seriously and are proud to not only provide a job but a career path for all our employees,” concluded Mr McGrath.
Accor Hotels and Resorts employs more than 8000 people throughout Australia and provide a multitude of training and development programs for employees through its own registered training organisation, Académie Accor.
