Our take

Hospitality is all about people and there’s never been a more challenging time for employers to source talent. While the industry has so much to offer, from international careers to rapid career progression, there are many critical gaps to fill around industry perception, benefits, talent matching, guidance, mentoring and training, and Hosco is committed to filling these gaps with its hospitality recruitment platform.

The company offers a marketplace for hospitality professionals and students to find jobs, as well as career advice and further learning opportunities. Hosco has 1.5 million users and hosts 7,000 hospitality companies such as hotel chains, start-ups, and restaurants in over 80 countries across the world.

Hosco will use recent funding to strengthen its position as a dominant solution for hiring, training and career orientation in hospitality across the EMEA region. The company has plans to continue to further expand geographically, and continue improving on its product.
