Role
Hotel Operations Manager
The hiring challenge
They tie together front desk, housekeeping and F&B so the guest experience is consistent; the interview does not show whether they can lead several areas at once, resolve service breakdowns on the spot and sustain the standard with a commercial focus.
What to assess
Multi-area leadership, resource management, customer orientation and problem solving in operation.
How we build the mix
A person with higher cognitive ability tends to learn faster, reason better and adapt to new problems. For this role it is a good base for the mix.
Related competencies confirm that this capable person can perform the specific functions of the role well, not just reason in the abstract.
A technical assessment (your own or digitized) verifies they can use the tools of the role. Or, as an alternative, DISC to learn the behavioral profile for the role.
