Key Responsibilities :

1. Recruitment Strategy & Workforce Planning

  • Design and implement a comprehensive pre-opening recruitment strategy aligned with brand, project, and operational timelines.
  • Partner with the Managing Director, Project Heads, and Operations teams to map manpower needs across departments (Rooms, F&B, Spa, Front Office, Sales, Finance, HR, Engineering, and Housekeeping).
  • Develop a detailed pre-opening manpower calendar with timelines for leadership, mid-level, and operational hires.
  • Identify and attract hospitality talent from leading luxury hotels, resorts, and wellness retreats.

2. Talent Acquisition & Onboarding

  • Lead end-to-end hiring for all hospitality positions — from department heads to front-line associates.
  • Establish strong sourcing channels through hotel networks, HR forums, industry job boards, and hospitality schools.
  • Drive executive search for key leadership roles (GM, Director of Operations, Executive Chef, Spa Head, Sales Head, etc.).
  • Ensure smooth pre-opening onboarding and induction to integrate new hires with Ridhira’s brand ethos and operational culture.
  • Manage all third-party recruitment vendors and consultants, ensuring cost-effective and timely delivery.
  • 3. Brand and Employer Positioning

  • Build Ridhira Group’s identity as a preferred hospitality employer in the luxury and wellness sector.
  • Collaborate with the marketing team to design employer branding campaigns highlighting career growth and the unique Ridhira experience.
  • Represent Ridhira Group at hospitality career fairs and industry networking events.
  • 4. Recruitment Operations & Analytics

  • Maintain robust tracking and reporting of all recruitment activities through ATS / HR dashboards.
  • Monitor key metrics : time-to-hire, cost-per-hire, offer-to-join ratio, and pre-opening readiness status.
  • Regularly report recruitment progress and staffing status to leadership teams.
  • Ensure compliance with all HR and labor laws related to hotel employment practices.
  • 5. Leadership & Team Development

  • Lead a dedicated recruitment team responsible for hiring across multiple pre-opening projects.
  • Coach and mentor recruitment specialists to maintain high standards of hospitality hiring.
  • Foster a culture of service excellence and professionalism within the HR function.
  • Key Skills & Competencies :

  • Proven expertise in pre-opening hospitality recruitment (resorts, luxury hotels, or wellness retreats).
  • Deep understanding of hotel organizational structures and department functions.
  • Excellent networking and industry connections across the hospitality sector.
  • Strong leadership, stakeholder management, and communication skills.
  • Hands-on experience with ATS systems, job portals, and social recruitment.
  • Strategic mindset with ability to deliver under tight pre-opening deadlines.
  • Educational Qualification :

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Human Resources, Hospitality Management, or Business Administration.
  • Certification in Talent Acquisition / HR Leadership will be an added advantage.
  • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) :

  • 100% staffing completion as per pre-opening schedule.
