[Professional Bank Co., Ltd.] [Latest: Human resources trend report by industry] The hotel industry is regaining vitality due to inbound demand. Demand for ready-to-work personnel is high due to the rush to open businesses! Headhunting requests increased 9 times compared to pre-coronavirus ​ Professional Bank Co., Ltd. Press release: November 7, 2024 [Latest: Human resources trend report by industry] The hotel industry is regaining vitality due to inbound demand. Demand for ready-to-work personnel is high due to the rush to open businesses! Headhunting requests increased 9 times compared to pre-coronavirus levels Professional Bank Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and President: Yoshikazu Donta) is We have summarized human resources trends in the hotel industry, which is regaining vitality due to inbound demand. In the hotel industry, there is a chronic labor shortage due to a rush to open businesses, and there is a growing need for people with experience in the industry, especially middle-class people in their 30s and 40s who can take on managerial positions, and talented young people in their 20s who can be “manager candidates.” Demand for certain ready-to-work personnel is increasing. It is probably still fresh in your memory that the number of guests was cut by about half due to the spread of the new coronavirus in 2020, and the hotel industry suffered a significant drop in business performance. On the other hand, with the recovery of inbound demand, the number of guests is also on a recovery trend to the same level as 2019. Headhunting requests to our company have also increased nine times compared to 2019.

■Human resource flow due to changes in the hotel industry structure Until the 1990s, Japanese hotels such as Gosanke (Imperial Hotel Tokyo/formerly Hotel Okura Tokyo/Hotel New Otani) were driving the industry. However, from the 1990s onward, foreign luxury hotels began to emerge, and from the 2000s onwards, foreign hotels remained the center of the industry. The rise of foreign-affiliated hotels has also brought about changes in management methods. The mainstream of Japanese hotels is the ownership-direct management method in which all operating assets are managed, and it takes time to open a new hotel or expand a chain. On the other hand, foreign hotels mainly adopt the management contract method and outsource management, making it possible to open new hotels and expand chains quickly. This can be said to be the background behind the rise of foreign hotels. Foreign-affiliated hotels are treated well within the industry, and transfers from Japanese-affiliated hotels to foreign-affiliated hotels have been noticeable. Furthermore, in foreign hotels, the number of titles (positions in the hotel industry) for each section is fixed, and we saw careerists moving from one foreign hotel to another in order to improve their titles. ■Human resources needs due to rush to open businesses New human resources needs are emerging due to the rush to open accommodation facilities as inbound demand recovers. With the rush to start new businesses, the greatest need is for people with the know-how to start a new business. Our company also handles headhunting requests to search for “real estate specialists” for new businesses. In this field, specialists from different industries are a good match. Originally, recruitment was mainstream through referrals, and as it was common for people to ask people within the industry, there was very little experience in recruiting using external resources within the industry as a whole. Therefore, the number of cases in which people are requesting headhunting searches is increasing. Recently, there has been an increase in demand for land knowledge from people from the real estate industry and project management experience from people from the consulting industry. In the future, the day will soon come when people from other industries will be able to promote the reform of Japanese hotels. ■Refocus on acquiring people with industry experience to respond to inbound demand The hotel industry has its own regulations, and the skills of people with experience in the hotel industry are highly sought after in terms of operational aspects (defensive areas) other than new openings (offensive areas). Among the inquiries we receive for headhunting, we are seeing an increasing number of requests for “manager class” positions among middle-class people in their 30s and 40s, and requests for “manager candidates” among talented young people in their 20s who have experience in the hotel industry. Hotels are increasing their value by providing not only lodging but also entertainment. If this industry reform appeals to human resources within the hotel industry, the industry should become even more exciting. We have already formed a dedicated unit consisting of consultants and researchers dedicated to the hotel industry. In an industry where it is difficult to form a population, and where intentions to change jobs to other industries can be predicted, we use all search sources and unique know-how to find human resources from the entire working population. We respond to the demands of hotels aiming to further expand their business.
