More than a jobs board, we are a community focused on improving hospitality workplaces.
We approve and verify every hospitality job.
We only post the top 3% of jobs in hospitality. Every job post on the platform is reviewed to make sure it meets our carefully considered criteria and follows the Countertalk guidelines of a healthy work environment.
