In their latest initiative to elevate service quality, they’ve unveiled a new, state-of-the-art recruitment and training center designed to meet the complex demands of the hospitality industry.

Cecilia Nolan, Philadelphia Market Manager for Heart of the House, remarked, “We’re not just providing the Philadelphia area with top-notch hospitality staff, we’re also leading the way in recruitment and training efforts.”

Nolan added, “Our clients in the hotel and event sectors rely on us to maintain complete teams year-round, which often includes quickly scaling up staff numbers. In busy seasons, this could involve hiring hundreds of new associates to accommodate increases in guest numbers. Our new center streamlines the recruitment and onboarding processes, allowing us to attract more local talent and swiftly support our hospitality clients.”

An Office Tailored to Meet Hospitality Talent Demands

In February, The American Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA) reported that 67% of hotels are struggling with staffing shortages. To address this widespread challenge, Heart of the House carefully designed their new facility to speed up recruiting, onboarding, and orientation processes.

The Philadelphia office features dedicated application stations that enable candidates to easily apply for the latest positions in housekeeping and food service. Adjacent to these stations is a specialized training room where new hires receive orientation, including safety and skills training.
