We hear the frustrations daily from our local Steamboat Springs, Colorado employers. In our weekly meetings, community board meetings, individual client meetings…even during our grocery shopping trips and weekend ski outings. The number one issue here in our resort location is sourcing and retaining quality talent. Yet not often do we hear what they are doing to increase or support their recruiting efforts. The situation is very similar to our “lack of affordable housing” issue which is always a hot topic and has been for years yet the only proactive thing that ever comes from the discussions are more meetings, more discussion and unfortunately no action on moving forward with a solution.

With our years of Human Capital experience and recruiting for resort located businesses we hope to be able to help resort businesses whom don’t have the staffing resources to strengthen their recruitment strategies promote their employment brand and build new creative recruitment methods and help them set forth proactive measures to ensure their recruiting challenges are met for the “talent gap” that our resort businesses are starting to feel the effects of.

Working together we can create recruitment programs to strengthen and grow our local resort workforce for years to come.
