What's on offer today
- every option is broken somewhere
Generic job portals
Volume, no quality
Hundreds of irrelevant CVs, no hospitality-specific screening, zero understanding of what actually matters in F&B and hotels.
Fails on
Recruitment agencies
15–25% per hire
Inconsistent quality. No accountability after placement. A cost centre that doesn't solve the underlying problem.
Fails on
Internal HR teams
Overloaded
Buried in daily management and high turnover cycles. No digital tools to screen 200+ CVs fast, or assess soft skills remotely across multiple venues.
Fails on
Recruitment at scale
5–30 venues
Hiring across a portfolio - with consistent quality, shared talent pools, and real-time visibility - is impossible without a platform built for it.
Fails on
Hospitality needs a recruitment layer of its own.

AI Core
The Shiftly process
Post a role
Describe the position, brand, and what good looks like. AI generates structured interview questions and psychometric criteria matched to your role.
AI interviews every applicant
Candidates complete an autonomous video interview at any time - no scheduling, no recruiter time. Anti-cheating and identity verification built in.
Psychometric assessment
Validated science assesses personality, behavioural traits, emotional intelligence, and cultural fit - benchmarked against hospitality role profiles.
Review your ranked shortlist
Every candidate arrives with an AI match score, behavioural radar, interview transcript, and written summary. You decide - the AI informs, never decides.
Make the hire
Choose your candidate, send the offer, and onboard - all inside Shiftly. Your competitors are still reading CVs.
Step 1 of 7
A full applicant pool
