Greek hospitality has jobs it cannot fill. Heading into 2025 the hotel and food-service sector had on the order of 80,000 unfilled positions, and every season the gap between the staff hotels need and the staff they can find gets harder to close. HRCM works both sides of that gap: we staff hotels, restaurants, and tourism businesses across Greece, and we place hospitality workers, from Greece and abroad, into seasonal and year-round roles. If you are looking for hotel jobs in Greece, HRCM can match you to seasonal and year-round roles.
Hospitality roles we staff
We recruit across the roles that keep hotels and restaurants running:
Rooms and front of house: front-desk and reception, guest relations, concierge, and housekeeping.
Food and beverage: waiting staff, bartenders, baristas, and F&B supervisors.
Kitchen: chefs at all grades, cooks, and kitchen assistants.
Wellness and management: spa therapists, and hotel and restaurant management roles.
We place for city hotels, resort properties, and island operations, for both the summer season and permanent positions.
For hotels and hospitality employers
The shortage is not only about hiring, it is about keeping people. Applications for rehire have fallen, and many workers leave for better-paid roles elsewhere in Europe within a season or two. HRCM helps you source qualified candidates matched to your property and your season, and supports those workers with accommodation and settling-in so they arrive ready and are more likely to stay. Our Athens-based team knows the seasonal cycles and the realities of the Greek market, so you get candidates who actually fit the role.
For hospitality workers
If you are looking for hotel or hospitality work in Greece, seasonal or year-round, HRCM places candidates into hotels, restaurants, and tourism businesses, and helps with accommodation and the practical side of relocating. Bilingual candidates are especially in demand for guest-facing roles. Joining our candidate network is free.

Frequently asked questions
What hotel jobs are available in Greece?
Across Greek hotels and resorts there is strong demand for front-desk and reception staff, housekeepers, waiting and bar staff, chefs and cooks, spa therapists, and hotel management. Roles range from summer-season positions on the islands to permanent, year-round jobs in city hotels.
Are hospitality jobs in Greece seasonal or year-round?
Both. Much of the demand is seasonal, peaking for the summer tourism season, but there are also permanent, year-round positions, particularly in city hotels and larger operations. HRCM places candidates for both.
Do I need to speak Greek to work in a Greek hotel?
Not necessarily. Many guest-facing hotel roles prioritise English and other languages because of international visitors, so bilingual candidates are in high demand. Greek is helpful but is not required for many positions.
Does HRCM help hospitality workers with accommodation?
Yes. We help arrange housing and support workers with settling in, which matters especially for seasonal roles and island properties where accommodation is tight.
How do hotels work with HRCM to hire staff?
Employers tell us the roles, grades, and season they need to cover, and we source and screen matched candidates. Contact us with your staffing needs and we will explain how we can help for your property. There is no fee for job seekers.
