WHY HATS

Hospitality deserves better hiring.

WHY HATS is our hospitality hiring platform, built to help operators understand people, not just CVs. It brings together practical recruitment tools, better candidate insight and a community shaping what hospitality hiring should become.

The problem

We’re losing brilliant people every day.

Hiring is often based on CVs, not potential. Job ads do not tell the real story. Great candidates slip through the cracks. And too many people leave because they were never the right fit.

70%of people leave their hospitality job within the first year

75%of CVs are filtered out before a human ever sees them

#1recruitment is the biggest challenge for operators

£millionslost every year in turnover, training and productivity

It does not have to be this way. The people closest to the problem should help build the solution.

The Founding 100

Be one of the first 100 people shaping HATS.

The Founding 100 is a voluntary community for hospitality people who want hiring to work better. It is not a sales programme. It is an opportunity to contribute ideas, test thinking and give honest feedback.
