Hotel group IHG looking to recruit 110,000 new staff in China
Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) is looking to double the number of hotels it has in China in the next two years and recruit more than 110,000 employees in the country.
This is according to UK newspaper City AM, reporting comments of chief executive officer Richard Solomons yesterday (19 November) ahead of meeting with investors.
The company has already doubled Chinese hotels to 200 in the last five years.
Earlier this year the firm announced a major recruitment drive in India – albeit quite not on the scale of its Chinese plans – and last year talent manager Claire Guberg spoke of IHG’s plan to “look at internal talent first of all” as expansion continued.
