Bar Hiring Guide

Bar hiring is definitely a skill you will have to perfect. In a previous article I spoke about pub recruitment and how you can find qualified candidates. You can link to that here: In this article, I will speak about the second part of the process, how to actually interview and hire pub employees.

So here we will pick up from the point in your bar hiring where you have actually gathered a number of resumes or contact numbers from candidates. Let’s say for example you are looking to hire a bartender to fill in some of your early week shifts which you are currently taking on yourself since your last bartender left.

You have a number of resumes from former pub employees, from walk-ins, from your website, and from a pub recruitment office nearby. How to find the right candidate?

Pub Recruitment

If you are in an area that is particularly challenging for pub recruitment, you might have better luck doing your bar hiring through a professional staffing service. Some staffing services can help you to get a temporary waiter or hire a bartender while you continue to look for one via traditional means. (Professionalwaitstaffingservices.com in Chicago, for example, is such a staffing service that caters specifically to bars and restaurants.) In some cases the temp will prove themselves the perfect and you can just hire him or her.
