5 Qualities We Look for in Top Hospitality Talent

At Myra Staffing Solutions Ltd., based in Surrey, UK, we know that hospitality isn’t just a job—it’s an art. Whether it’s a bustling hotel, a cozy restaurant, or a high-energy event venue, the right staff can make all the difference. That’s why we’re meticulous about who we recruit. Here are the five key qualities we prioritize when sourcing top hospitality talent, ensuring we match the perfect people to your business.

1. Adaptability

Hospitality is fast-paced and unpredictable—think sudden rushes, last-minute bookings, or a guest’s unique request. We look for individuals who thrive under pressure and pivot with ease. From servers who juggle busy shifts to housekeepers who tackle unexpected challenges, adaptability is non-negotiable for keeping operations smooth and guests happy.

2. Customer Focus

A great experience starts with staff who genuinely care. We seek out professionals who put guests first, whether it’s a warm greeting at check-in or anticipating a diner’s needs before they ask. This customer-centric mindset turns one-time visitors into loyal regulars, and it’s a trait we spot a mile away in our candidates.

3. Attention to Detail

In hospitality, the little things matter—a perfectly set table, a spotless room, a drink served just right. We recruit people with sharp eyes and a passion for precision, ensuring every detail reflects your high standards. It’s this quality that elevates a good experience into a five-star one.

4. Positive Attitude

A smile can brighten a guest’s day, and a can-do spirit keeps teams motivated. We prioritize candidates who bring warmth and enthusiasm to their roles, even on the toughest shifts. Their positivity isn’t just contagious—it’s a cornerstone of the memorable service that defines great hospitality.

5. Skill and Professionalism

Talent without polish won’t cut it. Whether it’s mixology expertise, housekeeping mastery, or event coordination know-how, we source individuals with the skills to hit the ground running. Paired with a professional demeanor, they seamlessly fit into your team, delivering results from day one.

Why It Matters

At Myra, we don’t just fill positions—we build teams that drive success. Based in Surrey and serving businesses across the UK, we’re experts at identifying these qualities to match top-tier talent with hotels, restaurants, and event venues. Available 24/7, we provide temporary staff who embody these traits, ensuring your guests leave with a smile and a reason to return.
