Harri, the tech platform behind HospitalityUnite, has partnered up with Springboard as a Government approved Gateway Employer to help hospitality employers access a Kickstart scheme grant.

HospitalityUnite is a non-profit careers portal, supporting the recovery of the UK’s economy and will make the Kickstart application process easy for businesses to apply and attract qualified Kickstart candidates. Aimed at hospitality, leisure and tourism businesses, HospitalityUnite will support operating companies in reigniting the industry and has been backed by UK Hospitality and the Scottish Tourism Alliance.

Businesses will receive direct access to candidates approved by the Department of Work & Pensions, and free use of the hiring platform to post jobs, screen candidates, conduct video interviewing and send offer letters. Employability training will also be available through the Springboard training platform, along with industry specific training. Businesses can choose the level of training required for their young people, all available through Springboard.

Springboard’s mission is to help futureproof the hospitality talent pipeline and we look forward to working with Harri to support the industry, and young people to get into work.
