For employers
Cyprus properties lose more revenue to understaffing in May than to almost anything else. We work the season backwards from your opening date — briefs in November, permits in February, trained people on the floor before Easter.
What we do
We are not a CV forwarding service. We train the pool we recruit from, we know which properties keep their staff and which do not, and we take responsibility for the paperwork that stalls a start date.
Twenty room attendants for a May opening in Ayia Napa is a different problem from one head waiter. We run volume briefs as a campaign — sourcing, screening days, group interviews on site, and a single point of contact for your HR manager.
Candidates complete our service standards course before they reach you. That means grooming, greeting, sequence of service, room standards and food hygiene basics are already covered, and your department heads spend induction on your property rather than on fundamentals.
Employment contracts drafted to Cyprus labour law, social insurance registration, third-country permit files prepared with your documentation, and correct record-keeping for a labour inspection.
Process
A 30-minute video call or a site visit. Headcount, departments, start dates, pay bands, accommodation, and the shift patterns you actually run in August.
We work our trained pool first, then advertise. Every candidate is interviewed, reference-checked and language-assessed before you see them.
You receive a shortlist with CV, language level, availability window, permit status and our honest note on where each person will and will not perform.
We coordinate scheduling, chase responses, and manage the offer conversation so pay expectations are settled before anyone signs.
Contract, permit, social insurance, accommodation and arrival logistics. Your team gets a start-date confirmation, not a maybe.
We check in at 14 days, 30 days and mid-season. If a placement leaves inside the first 30 days, we replace them at no additional fee.
Commitments
Terms are per placement, with reduced rates on volume briefs of ten or more. There is no retainer and no charge for a brief that does not result in a hire.
Coverage
Six regions, each with its own hiring rhythm. We keep separate candidate pools for the peak-summer resorts and the year-round city properties, because the people who suit them are rarely the same.
City hotels, conference venues and year-round F&B
Five-star resorts and long-stay winter guests
Peak-summer volume hiring from May to October
Family resorts with strong guest relations demand
Airport-adjacent hotels and crew accommodation
Business hotels and corporate catering
Talk to us
Candidates: send a CV, or just tell us what you have done and when you can start. Employers: send the brief and we will come back with a realistic pay band and a first shortlist date.
