Timeline
24h shortlist
How a hotel group got their first qualified shortlist in 24 hours and filled 18 hospitality roles before peak season.
The challenge
18 hospitality roles to fill before peak season, with one in-house recruiter already stretched thin and local applicant pools running dry.
The group had a six-month plan to open two new properties and needed 18 hires across hotel operations, F&B leadership, housekeeping management, and front-desk supervisors. Their single in-house recruiter was running every search alone, time-to-fill was creeping past 55 days, and traditional job boards were producing mostly unqualified applicants. Bringing in a second recruiter would have taken months to ramp, and headhunter retainers on niche hospitality roles would have eaten the entire hiring budget on five hires.
The approach
Sourcify embedded a parallel sourcing engine alongside the in-house recruiter in 4 days.
We started with a 60-minute intake on each role to lock down must-haves, deal-breakers, and target compensation. Within 24 hours, we delivered calibrated shortlists for the first three openings. Outreach went out from our own infrastructure, fully personalized, with multi-step follow-ups handled on our side. Interviews landed directly in the hiring managers' calendars, no scheduling work for the in-house team. Weekly calibration kept shortlists sharp as feedback came in.
The Results
The hotel group closed all 18 hospitality roles inside the six-month window without hiring an additional recruiter or paying placement fees. Their in-house recruiter went from drowning in sourcing to running tight processes with hiring managers, and time-to-fill dropped by more than half from kickoff onwards.
First qualified shortlist delivered 24 hours after kickoff
18 roles closed in 6 months, on plan
Time-to-fill compressed from 55+ to 26 days
In-house recruiter reclaimed 65% of their week for closing
Total cost roughly half of an equivalent retainer
"We had a shortlist of strong candidates within 24 hours of kickoff. That was the moment we realized this wasn't going to be another agency relationship. Sourcify let our recruiter focus on what she's actually great at."
