Talent and hiring platform for the European hospitality industry.

Problem:
The European hospitality sector suffers from acute labor shortages, high employee turnover (67% change jobs annually), and fragmented, outdated hiring channels. Venues spend excessive management hours on unqualified applicants, while traditional job boards fail to capture industry-specific skills.

Solution:
A specialized AI-powered platform combining rapid shift matching, verified talent profiles, and automated screening. Candidates build profiles in minutes via an AI voice assistant or automated CV parsing, while venues reduce time-to-hire by up to 90% through intelligent matching and a shared candidate inbox. The platform operates on a flexible, credit-based model tailored to seasonal hiring cycles.
