Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo holds talent acquisition campaign

Management and staff from Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo recently concluded a three-day talent acquisition campaign at the BMICH. 

The career exposition named #HospitalityFromTheHeart, held from 4 to 6 May, attracted a large group of job seekers eager to join the highly-anticipated hotel opening due later this year.

The management also took it upon themselves to present their vision: To be the first choice for guests, colleagues, shareholders and business partners, and their mission: To delight guests by creating engaging experiences straight from the heart. 

“Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo is full of possibilities,” said Shangri-La Colombo Vice President and General Manager Timothy Wright. “We understand that it is the people who make the difference in all our properties, so we make a great effort to attract the brightest talent with the right attitude, personality and values that align with our brand. He further avers: “We are delighted with the enthusiasm of our potential colleagues and look forward to work together to create a true Shangri-La experience here in Colombo.” 

The hotel staff held engagement activities, such as an in-house talent show, fun photo booth and a selfie corner to help bring out the personalities of all the candidates. The General Manager and Resident Manager took time to meet all candidates.

The campaign named #HospitalityFromTheHeart focused on selecting the right profile which goes beyond the typical job description and clearly identifies how the employee will contribute to the hotel’s primary objective in employee loyalty to achieve excellence.
