Marriott is posting new job listings for hotel staff in early sign of recovery

The company is hiring for as many as 90 new positions at the W Chengdu, 77 at the Shenzhen Renaissance, and another 60 at the Shenyang Marriott.

Marriott International has begun quietly adding job listings to its career recruiting websites. This makes it, in our estimation, the first hospitality company to show early signs of recovery from an international lockdown that's been devastating to the hotel industry.

In the past two weeks, job listings at Marriott International saw their first spike since March. The jump in job listings is certainly telling, but the types of jobs Marriott is hiring for show early signs of international travel for an industry so dependent on such activity.

By May 25, 2020, Marriott's Careers website listed 2,031 openings. That's up from a low of 1,764 on May 19, or 267 additional job listings. A large majority of Marriott's hiring recovery appears to be in China, where front-of-house positions from everything including front-desk clerks to massage therapists have begun flooding the company's HR sites.

The company is hiring for as many as 90 new positions at the W Chengdu, 77 at the Shenzhen Renaissance, and another 60 at the Shenyang Marriott.

Surprisingly, the Wuhan Four Points by Sheraton is now hiring for 44 customer-facing openings.

The newly opened positions make it very clear that Marriott International is spinning up operations. The most in-demand positions include guest-facing (and dependent) positions like Cooks, General Managers, and Housekeepers.

Until this week, Marriott had been keeping things quiet and cautious, selling gift cards to maintain some liquidity, donating rooms to medical workers, and even shuttering some locations including the much-hyped Edition Times Square. But as businesses in China get back to work, the hospitality company appears to be responding by getting its hotels ready for travelers.
