The new Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay is gearing up for its largest Bahrain-based recruitment drive from October 26 to 28.

The 68-storey property due to open its doors in the kingdom’s capital Manama shortly.

The mass recruitment drive, to be held at Sheraton Hotel, is exclusively for Bahraini and GCC nationals. A separate recruitment day will be held on October 28 for international candidates.

The hotel said it is keen to support the Labour Ministry’s Bahrainisation programme and the efforts of the Specific Council for Training by investing in the hiring and training of local talent wherever possible.

“In every country we enter, the emphasis is on creating a sense of place and no one can create a better culture than the local people,” said Greg Pirkle, general manager of the hotel.

“We hire for attitude and train for skill. As with all other new properties we are looking to hire the best candidates in the market that match our core values and turn them into a world-class workforce capable of delivering the highest standards of service and quality.

“We believe our greatest asset and the key to our success is our people. Our formula to achieve undisputed leadership focuses on being #1 with our employees throughout Four Seasons and being the best employer for a high performing and diverse workforce,” added Pirkle.

The new Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay will feature 273 exceptionally spacious guest rooms, six options for indoor-outdoor dining and drinks including three outlets by celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck, five swimming experiences with six super-cabanas, expansive spa with 17 treatment rooms, two magnificent ballrooms and a Sky Bridge with meeting rooms on the 50th and 51st floors.

The luxury hospitality industry in Bahrain is set to experience an unprecedented period of development, said Pirkle.

Bahrain is poised to see its luxury hotel room capacity increase significantly with several high profile projects in development, out of which Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay is amongst the most anticipated.

Pirkle said the boosted luxury offerings and added competition will greatly benefit the industry and drive up the standards of service and quality within the Bahraini hospitality landscape as a whole.– TradeArabia News Service
