Description du poste

Head of Recruitment – Hotel Operations Location: Flexible within Europe, with frequent travel to our destinations

At Langley, we are a family‑owned hospitality group operating small to mid‑size 3–4 star hotels and resorts in the French Alps, the Austrian Alps, on Corsica and in Guadeloupe (French West Indies). We believe in active relaxation, personal service and authentic destinations. We also know that our team and our ability to be genuinely good hosts are the key to happy, returning guests.

Recruiting, training and supporting our staff and Managers is therefore critical to our success.

We are now looking for a hands‑on Head of Recruitment – Hotel Operations with a strong background in hotel/F&B operations to secure the right teams for our hotels, season after season.

Your main responsibilities

Recruitment for hotel operations. You will have overall responsibility, together with a small team of 1–2 people, for the recruitment and training process for our hotels, with a strong focus on operational roles across all departments (front office, housekeeping, F&B, kitchen, bar, maintenance and guiding/activities).

You will:

• Own and develop our recruitment standards and procedures: job ads, sourcing, screening, interviews and offers for hotel positions.


• Ensure all recruitment‑related documentation is accurate, consistent and up to date.


• Prioritise roles and candidates together with the Operations Manager and Hotel Managers.


• Follow up regularly with our hotels in different locations to understand staffing needs and identify internal talents for development.


• Together with the Operations Manager and Hotel Managers, design and improve training programmes for leadership skills and daily operations.

Understanding our markets and cultures. To be effective in this role, you need to be curious about and open to different cultures, and willing to build a strong understanding of the regions and countries where we operate. You enjoy working in an international environment and adapt easily to local conditions and ways of working.

Who you are

Hotel operations experience – mandatory

• You have a background in hotel operations and/or F&B (for example as Hotel Manager, F&B Manager, Operations/Rooms Division Manager or similar) and a genuine interest in the hospitality business.


• You understand how smaller 3–4 star hotels and resorts work in practice: seasonal peaks, staff living on or near the property, and the importance of teamwork and flexibility.


• Experience mainly from 5‑star complexes is less relevant – we are looking for someone who feels at home in environments where everyone helps out, teams are close and decisions are made quickly.

Personal profile

• Flexible and open to frequent travel and longer stays at our destinations.


• Structured and accurate, with strong attention to detail in processes and documentation.


• People‑oriented and communicative, able to build trust with both managers and seasonal staff.


• Proactive, hands‑on and comfortable combining strategic thinking with day‑to‑day operational support.

---

What we offer

• A key role in shaping how we recruit and develop our hotel teams across several countries and seasons.


• Close cooperation with the Operations Manager, Hotel Managers and company leadership.


• The opportunity to combine your operational hotel experience with international recruitment and people development in a growing, family‑owned group.
