The rest of the votes went to a relatable job description, real flexibility and clear daily responsibilities.
"Candidates in hospitality don't have time to waste. They're moving fast, and if the salary isn't there, many will skip the ad entirely," said Milos Eric, General Manager of OysterLink. "Transparency is no longer optional-it's the baseline for getting noticed."
What This Means for Employers
Hospitality businesses need to rethink how they post jobs. Listings that leave out key details-especially pay-are losing traction with job seekers. Today's candidates are not only looking for fair compensation but also honesty and respect in the hiring process.
By clearly stating wages, responsibilities, and scheduling expectations upfront, employers can improve application rates and cut down on unqualified leads.
