NASSAU, The Bahamas --Recruiting thousands of Bahamians to work at Baha Mar is not just about reaching a target number. It’s about creating an iconic global destination that reflects the soul of The Bahamas. “Baha Mar is about taking the best of The Bahamas – our people and our culture – to the world, said Kristin Wells, Baha Mar Academy Director.
During 2013, Baha Mar Academy, the training and recruitment arm of Baha Mar, has reached out to more than 6,000 Bahamian students and professionals in The Bahamas, the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Most recently, Baha Mar Academy hosted a mix and mingle event for Bahamian students and professionals in New York City to share information about the diverse career opportunities that will be available at the luxury resort and to interview potential candidates. Human Resources executives attending the mixer included Terry Holden, Area Director of HR for Hyatt in New York; Benjamin Sims, HR Director for Mondrian at Baha Mar; Nancy Kiska, HR Director for the Rosewood Carlyle in New York, and Kristin Wells, Director of the Baha Mar Academy and acting representative of the Baha Mar Casino & Hotel.
More than 8,000 people have submitted resumes on the company’s website with the hope of filling one of the thousands of jobs by the scheduled opening of December 2014. Each of the resumes is carefully reviewed by one of Baha Mar Academy’s fifteen recruiters who identify the best candidates and invite them to face-to-face meetings.
“Baha Mar has a culture where people have a passion for being better than best, no matter their position,” said Wells. “While we are looking for skills to fit all levels of the company, we’re really looking for people who are friendly, pay attention to details, thrive as part of a team, and have a heart for hospitality.”
