Spa Staff

Coronavirus and Recruitment

A message from Miranda Allard, CEO.

SpaStaff.com is a global business with employers and job seekers from over 160 countries making use of our self-service portal. The movement of people across borders has almost slowed to a standstill and most spa, beauty and wellness businesses are now closed in most countries.

This is a critical and stressful time for the human race but care and support by employers towards their work force will play a large part in the recovery process – on both a business and personal level. I urge you to think about the human suffering the laying off of your teams will cause. There are government financial packages here in the UK to ensure staff are kept on and paid throughout the period of essential social distancing – the Job Retention Scheme will pay up to 80% of wages. This may not be the case in other countries so I urge employers to be charitable and do what they can to keep their employees financially solvent, giving them the chance to battle through this disaster without worrying about food and rent.

In the meantime we are still receiving large numbers of CVs from job seekers looking to the future. This quiet period allows them the chance to reflect on where their next job may be when times recover. Inevitably there will be vacancies to fill when good times return. Employers may also like to think ahead – spas and salons will open again one day and it’s a good idea to be prepared with a selection of interesting CVs shortlisted and ready to contact when the time is right.

We at SpaStaff.com are here to help – simply email with any questions and we will reply as quickly as possible during our office hours. Remember there is no charge to register, post job ads and search the database – so checking us out is always free!

We wish you all good health, compassion towards each other and a speedy return to normality.
