‘Walk-in’ recruitment day at West Cork hotel as business picks up

In a sign of Ireland’s rising economic tide, a landmark hotel in West Cork is to hold wall-to-wall “walk-in” interviews for the first time in its history — for everything from porters to chefs.

Business is up 20% at the four-star Inchydoney Island Lodge and Spa near Clonakilty, which is holding its recruitment open day on Good Friday afternoon to fill a wide range of seasonal and full time positions.

The posts range from food and beverage supervisor to bar and restaurant staff, chefs, kitchen assistants, conference and banqueting staff, as well as a night porter, spa therapist, and accommodation assistants.
