Hosco: The one-stop solution for Hospitality recruitment

50 Shades of Hospitality

In this podcast, Olivier Bracard, the co-founder and CEO of the highly successful hospitality recruitment platform Hosco, describes how this platform was born and why it is the go-to website for people looking for job offers in the hospitality field. As an EHL graduate, Olivier describes his time at the famous Swiss Hospitality School and how his international networking skills began there. He also gives insights on Hospitality Education in Switzerland and apprises us on the current educational trends.
In addition, Olivier discusses the fallout from the COVID pandemic, how the hospitality industry was strongly hit, and why it has become more challenging to find qualified talent in an ever-growing competitive field. Obviously, Hosco has had to navigate these challenges, and Olivier explains how the recruitment process has evolved over the past few years.
Finally, Olivier describes the current hospitality recruitment trends and how he sees the field's future changing and evolving. In his opinion, it is still a great industry that allows young people to travel to widen their horizons and to be part of an industry that allows for rapid development and career growth.
Olivier Bracard co-founded Hosco in 2011 with Carl Julien, whom he met at the Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL). After graduating in 2007, Olivier joined Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels (JLLH) in Spain, overseeing hotel financial valuations, feasibility studies, and management negotiations for nearly four years.
During his time with JLLH, Olivier was asked to help recruit junior talents from several hotel management schools. After realizing how time-consuming the process was, he imagined a central meeting point for top talent and recruiters in the industry: Hosco was born.
