  • Ensure smooth pre-opening onboarding and induction to integrate new hires with Ridhira’s brand ethos and operational culture.

  • 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.
