STARTMONDAY PROFILES HOSPITALITY SECTOR ENGAGEMENTS WITH IHG, ACCOR AND CITIZENM

StartMonday Technology Corp. has entered new partnerships with several key hospitality partners.

StartMonday is very pleased to have been selected to work with InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), one of the world's leading hotel companies, to help achieve the company's aim of recruiting the best possible talent to work within its hotels. StartMonday has developed an intuitive app that can be downloaded from both Apple and Google Play stores, as well as the company's website, that lists available roles for potential colleagues across both the managed and franchised estates across IHG's six brands in Europe: Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Crowne Plaza, Staybridge Suites and Hotel Indigo.

Hazel Hogben, head of human resources, hotel operations, Europe, at IHG, stated, "We are always keen to attract star talent to experience a rewarding career within our hotels and we believe the app that StartMonday has developed will make the recruitment process both seamless and efficient, but most importantly give us real insight into the talent we recruit, building even further on our credentials as a great place to work."

IHG scheduled United Kingdom trials of the app for January, 2017, with the aim to roll out the platform for its franchise hotels across Europe through the rest of the year.

It has been two years since citizenM started using StartMonday's mobile platform for hiring its employees. The group's hotels have been using this platform consistently for continuing hires and the 15-second video also proved to be really helpful when two new hotels in London were launched. Thanks to StartMonday, new citizens are being found more easily.

A representative of citizenM noted: "citizenM always looks for the right personalities to join the team. StartMonday integrates perfectly with our on-line career page. The 15-second video gives us a great opportunity to look for personalities and individuals in different cultures and countries. The platform works great, and on top of that, StartMonday is always very positive and open minded for improvements towards our needs."

The company was also engaged by Accor hotels to aid with the opening of a new Novotel property at Schiphol airport. To hire 60 people in a short time frame, Accor created a co-branded video promoting the 15-second video application process. As part of its service, StartMonday successfully managed the social media campaign to create applicant awareness.

Company co-founder and chief executive officer Ray Gibson commented: "The recent advances with these well-known hotel brands have moved us well beyond the development phase into successful real-world end-user solutions. To date, our concept has been extremely well received and our team has quickly reacted to requests for evolutionary innovation quickly and efficiently. We are very grateful to have the support of these important hospitality sector leaders, while we continue to look forward to increasing our visibility in the hotel industry. Recent meetings with franchise owners and operators have opened many new avenues, as these groups tend to also own significant operations with other hotel brands, and in the food and beverage industry. We look forward to expanding our offering to suit the needs of an extensive list of global industry sectors that can benefit from a more modern and streamlined approach to talent acquisition."

We seek Safe Harbor.
