With the summer season approaching, the Fairmont Monte Carlo has begun its annual recruitment campaign, opening around 300 seasonal positions to support what is traditionally one of the busiest periods of the year for the Principality’s hospitality sector…
Recruitment interviews were held on site this week, giving candidates the opportunity to meet managers directly and gain a clearer understanding of operational needs. A wide range of profiles is being sought, particularly in hotel services, catering, reception and guest relations — roles that are central to maintaining Monaco’s high standards of service during peak tourist months. For jobseekers, the format allows for immediate contact with recruiters and, in many cases, fast-tracked hiring decisions.
Hotel representatives stressed that beyond technical skills, motivation, adaptability and a genuine interest in customer service are key selection criteria, especially in an environment where workloads can fluctuate rapidly and expectations remain high.
The recruitment drive also reflects broader employment trends in the Principality, where the hospitality industry continues to be a significant source of seasonal work for both residents and cross-border employees. With major international events, conferences and leisure tourism boosting visitor numbers, hotels are under pressure to secure trained and reliable staff well ahead of summer.
For employers, attracting and retaining qualified candidates remains an ongoing challenge, leading many establishments to organise dedicated recruitment days and partnerships with training institutions. As Monaco prepares for another intense tourist season, staffing levels will play a crucial role in sustaining the quality of service that underpins the Principality’s global reputation.
