Marston's & Hawksmoor | How these firms are striving to plug staff shortages

To help plug staffing shortages within its restaurants, several employers in the hospitality industry are coming up with creative ways to attract new talent into the business.

One of those is the British steakhouse Hawksmoor who is offering bonuses of up to £2,000 to workers who recommend friends for jobs at the organisation.

In an effort to “turbo-charge” its hiring efforts, for each person recommended and who is hired after passing a one-month trial they will receive a bonus – £200 for a first friend, £300 for a second friend and up to £2,000 for five friends.
