How Hospitality Can Improve Their Hiring Processes

The hospitality industry is nimble and very fast-paced.


Turnover is high, and often, hospitality workers will work at multiple venues in different environments, perhaps even under different conditions.


Support for individuals in the hospitality industry is so important, especially when it comes to training and onboarding.


By giving workers the training support they need, they will become a valuable asset to your business, and meet and maintain compliance, as well as engaging quickly.


At WorkPro, we’re passionate about helping hospitality.


Through WorkPro, you can standardize onboarding processes, including background checks, training, collect certifications and accreditation and inductions online.


The hospitality industry is one where turnover is high, as well as having seasonal peaks and troughs, so it always helps to have an onboarding platform that you can rely on.

Now that onboarding is covered, where can you go to find great staff to onboard? 


Sidekicker are an example of a business that can externally help to engage, train and retain hospitality staff.


With hospitality, like a lot of casual industries, determined by demand, it’s easy to get caught out in times of unexpected needs.


Sidekicker help to alleviate this by providing staff on-demand.


They help to smooth out the peaks and troughs of staff shifts, leaving you more time to provide the best experience possible to your customers.


This also removes the stress of having to constantly re-train employees as staff is turned over.


Your service staff not turned up for their shift? Need a barrista? Easy. Quickly engage staff using Sidekicker.


In the same vein was JobGetter. JobGetter matches employees with employers, allowing people to find the best fit for the role they’re looking to fill.


Both these companies take away the hassle of recruitment for hospitality leaders, and allow them to focus on other aspects of their business.


Recruitment is a time-consuming process, especially in such high-turnover industries, and these disrupters are changing the game.


If you’re looking to gain an edge over your competition, or just want to make sure you’ve got staff who have been onboarded properly whenever and wherever you need them most, there are a number of HR specialists like WorkPro who are here to help.


Find out how we can assist with industry-specific inductions and training here, and get back to what you do best.

Background Checks in the Childcare sector : A Wake-Up Call for the Sector The early childhood sector is under national scrutiny again. This time, it's not just policy driving change, but public outcry. On 20 August 2025, Victoria released findings from its rapid review into early childhood safety, following disturbing revelations of serious abuse at multiple childcare services (The Guardian). The review found systemic failures in background screening and regulatory enforcement, prompting the state to announce a major overhaul of its child safety laws. Among the key issues: a childcare worker with a history of criminal behaviour was cleared to work, and multiple abuse allegations were mishandled due to poor internal reporting systems (ABC News). The Victorian Government has accepted all 21 review recommendations, including increased unannounced inspections, faster suspension powers, and mandatory public disclosure of breaches (Wyndham TV). While this latest case occurred in Victoria, the same risks exist elsewhere. That’s why the national reforms introduced earlier this year — from harmonised Working with Children Checks to compulsory child protection training — are more than just updates. They’re essential safeguards. With greater legal consequences for non-compliance, now is the time for childcare providers to ensure their employee screening, training, and reporting systems are watertight — because families, regulators, and the law are watching.
