At Culinary Agents, we believe that through skills talent are able to showcase their potential and businesses are able to assess hiring fit. Over the years we have invested heavily in understanding which skills are required for specific positions based on data we’ve gathered from employers in the hospitality industry.
Historically, the ability to search for jobs has been focused largely on job titles. As the industry continues to evolve, there has been a shift in focus where a skills-based approach is proving more useful for job discovery and career advancement.
Employers are now placing an emphasis on skills targeting when recruiting, opening them up to a broader pool of talent who may not have the traditional prerequisite roles, but possess sought-after, transferable skills. As a result, job seekers need to present their skills in addition to their experience to be considered strong candidates to employers.
To help connect the industry’s talent and hiring businesses, we have curated a skills database sourced from thousands of hospitality job descriptions and requirements. This database has been further organized by industry-specific categories and includes 20,000+ skills.
Top-Level Skill Categories for the Hospitality Careers:
- Baking & Pastry
- Business Operations
- Certificates & Education
- Cross-Functional
- Culinary & Kitchen
- Dining Room / Service
- Wine & Beverage
