Jose Andres-owned ThinkFoodGroup has selected Landed to help find qualified employees for its four new dining destinations at The Ritz-Carlton, Nomad in New York City.

"We need to hire a lot of talented people in a very short period of time as we are opening four diverse culinary and cocktail experiences within The Ritz-Carlton, Nomad this spring," Amy Kurth Anderson, senior director of People for ThinkFoodGroup, said in a press release. "Landed stood out to us because our GMs and chefs can now engage with thousands of candidates in an automated fashion and Landed will take care of the end-to-end hiring process. While Landed helps us find these great hires faster, our team can concentrate on building out our new restaurants. It's been a real game changer for how we can expand our business quickly with the right people in place."

How it works
Hospitality workers download the Landed Jobs mobile app and are guided through setting up their profiles, which include short videos plus details on their work experience, location, shift availability and job goals. Landed's AI-based intelligent matching technology matches candidates to best fit jobs and employers near them.

Hiring managers access the Landed Employer portal and input hiring goals and criteria across all locations. Landed then automates the end-to-end recruitment process with its intelligent matching and conversational AI technology: sourcing, vetting, engaging, setting up interviews with and hiring candidates.

"ThinkFoodGroup is a great example of a business that is committed to finding great hires to stay long-term with the company," Landed founder and CEO Vivian Wang said in the release. "Landed will allow ThinkFoodGroup to build out their restaurants and brands quickly because we do the heavy lifting when it comes to finding and recruiting talent. This means ThinkFoodGroup can concentrate on developing their brand, building their new restaurants and creating unique dining experiences for their guests."

Founded by Chef José Andrés and his partner Rob Wilder, ThinkFoodGroup is the creative team responsible for nearly three dozen dining concepts in Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, Miami, the Bahamas, Orlando, New York City and Chicago.
