To help hospitality employers effectively plan for their business future, Hosco has been conducting sentiment surveys focused on recruitment since the start of COVID-19. 

We call this survey Hospitality Pulse, and it gives you insights into the impact the pandemic has had and continues to have on the hospitality industry each quarter. The next edition, with Q3 insights, will go live in July 2021.

This report covers topics such as the extent summer season recruitment plans will be affected by the pandemic, and when hospitality companies expect to regain their pre-COVID team size, and much more.   

The responses come from hospitality HR specialists, business owners, and General Managers from the EMEA region. 

April's survey took place between the 13 and 30 April 2021.
