Hiring a hotel general manager in Mayotte
A hotel in Mayotte cannot afford six months without a general manager. Teams lose their footing, guests notice, and the ideal candidate has no reason to browse job boards. We look for them where they already work, on the mainland and across the Indian Ocean, and we present them with a written assessment of their soft skills.
What we assess
Three points, before we present anyone to you.
Leading a team
How they took over a struggling team, what they changed first, what they refused to change.
Relationship with results
How they read a hotel P&L and the decision they took against a number, not only with it.
Staying power
Why they are coming to Mayotte, what will make them stay, what would make them leave. Ignoring this question is the most expensive mistake.
The classic mistake is hiring a brilliant mainland manager who has never dealt with remoteness, staff turnover and island logistics. We check these three points before presenting anyone.
For Mayotte we target mobile profiles, from the mainland in particular, and we settle housing, vehicle and flights with you before any approach.
