Hospitality Hires Chicago

The sponsors of the 8th annual Hospitality Hires Chicago (HHC) are Chicago Loop Alliance, Choose Chicago, City of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois Hotel and Lodging Association, Illinois Restaurant Association, The Magnificent Mile Association, the Near South Planning Board, Origami Works Foundation, and The Chicago Cook Workforce Partnership (The Partnership).

To date, HHC events have helped more than 1,000 people get hired or secure conditional job offers and have provided more than 400 employers with access to pre-screened work-ready candidates. Employers from retail, transportation, food services, hospitality, and related sectors are committing to hiring hundreds of people looking to start their next career adventure.

“We chose to continue the theme of Hospitality is a State of Mind for Hospitality Hires Chicago 2025,” said Partnership CEO George Wright. “Though the hospitality sector continues to be the focus of this Partnership event, year after year, employers and career seekers from a variety of industries attend HHC, as customer service and other skills are transferable and highly sought after by employers.”
