Depending on your needs, consider also learning about our capabilities in HR management.

Types of Hospitality Staffing Consulting

A task force contractor fills the void in staffing caused by never ending executive turnover, or staffing voids created when a hotel or resort changes brands. As a ‘flag’ prepares to change, the outgoing company will move key staff to other chain locations. Employees privy to rumors may ‘jump ship’ due to impending changes creating openings in key operating departments. Whether temporary or speciality, a task force partner puts renewed, unbiased perspective (fresh eyes) on your operation, bringing not only revenue suggestions but potential cost reduction ideas, too.

Remote Sales Support Fast Staffing Placement

Our Dynamic Sales solution provides remote sales support for hotels and management companies at a fraction of the cost of bringing a full-time resource in-house. This unique Sales support program is designed to accelerate our client’s sales results by building a strategic sales plan and executing the plan with purpose and a high degree of accountability. As Owners and General Managers are wearing many hats, it is time to leverage Dynamic Sales as a temporary solution to get back on track or as a permanent solution for all your sales needs.

Hospitality Temp-to-hire Circumstance

During temp-to-hire situations of your task force staffing need, each side has the chance to “date before the ring.” When the vacancy is of sales and marketing, few hotels can afford a void in that line of activity, as it could quickly threaten revenue. This is where a task force contractor is fit.

What do I need to know about hiring a Hospitality Task Force Contractor?

The contractor typically takes meals in the employee cafeteria or the three-meal-a-day restaurant, may have laundry privileges and gets a paid trip home every 2-3 weeks. A contractor can be engaged in screening and hiring the replacement position or other key positions in the department. Most importantly, continuity is provided with close feedback to the owner, General Manager, or corporate staff.

In an example, a 1099 task-force specialist is paid a flat rate on a weekly, monthly, or project basis. Benefits paid to a full time employee that can run an additional 30-40% of a base salary can be included in their fee. Consider communicating of your budget during a consultation.
