Jul22493 5. The hospitality and tourism sector in Greece is one of the most competitive in Europe, with the industry making up approximately 20% of the country’s total national employment. Recognising the demand for talented, reliable, and personable staff in these environments, Hiring Greece today serves as the premier recruitment agency for this field in its namesake country. As it is named here in the Hellenic Business Awards 2026, we caught up with Roberta Lekeviciute, company owner and sales director, for more on how Hiring Greece brings people luck. Hiring Greece is the leading tourism and hospitality recruitment agency in Greece, proudly partnering with more than 120 properties throughout the country, many of which belong to the most acclaimed hotel chains in the Hellenic region. The agency’s work takes it across Greece’s premier island destinations, from Rhodes and Crete to Kos and Corfu. In all of these locations, it bridges the talent gap in the tourism sector by sourcing experienced professionals from across Europe, including Ukraine. To guarantee the highest standards across the professionals it sources, Hiring Greece sees every candidate undergo a rigorous personal vetting and interview process. This is the foundation of the enduring partnerships it builds with clients, with these being rooted in trust and an ability to deliver an unrivalled service that elevates their brand. Guided by its core mission of connecting premier Greek hotel brands with experienced, high-calibre professionals from across Europe, Hiring Greece has seen rapid growth and deep trust nurtured with the country’s hospitality industry. The agency is incredibly proud of this distinction, as well as the fact that it has been named as one of the most trusted recruitment agencies in Ukraine as a result of the work it has been able to secure for citizens during what is an incredibly trying time for the nation. Greek media has also caught wind of the impactful work Hiring Greece is doing, resulting in features with prominent national publications like ‘Χρήμα & Τουρισμός’ (Money & Tourism). Recognition here in the inaugural Hellenic Business Awards only adds to the agency’s prestige, with the appreciation it is receiving both at home and abroad showing that the personalised, hands-on approach Roberta and her team deliver is resonating in a market where excellence is the standard upheld. As for why Greek tourist hotspots like Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, and Kos continue to trust Hiring Greece with getting them the professionals they need to serve the millions of tourists passing through every year, Roberta explained: “Our [Greece’s] strength is a unique combination of unrivalled geographical appeal and a deeply ingrained culture of hospitality. However, rapid corporate growth has brought with it a significant challenge: a domestic talent deficit. That is where the modern corporate structure of Greece shows its adaptability.” She continued: “By embracing international recruitment and creating multicultural environments, Greek businesses are successfully bridging the gap. As an agency, our strength lies in fuelling this corporate engine with pre-vetted talent, ensuring that the country’s massive tourism momentum remains supported by premium operational execution.” Of course, volume alone is not enough. Many agencies can send candidates the way of their clients, but what makes Hiring Greece stand out is that it is truly uncompromising in its approach, sidestepping the automated algorithms many of its contemporaries lean on to instead personally vet and interview every candidate themselves. This is just the beginning, as the team will also personally visit all of the locations they serve to resolve any issues that arise in person. “We don’t just fill vacancies; we protect our clients’ brand reputations throughout the entire season.” Such rigour in its approach also aligns Hiring Greece with the country’s wider tourism market, which is rapidly transforming it into a luxury, high-value destination. This has seen the demand for professional hospitality staff soar. With the traditional tourist season also getting longer, as hotels open earlier and close later, they need stable and experienced teams fast, rather than relying on temporary fixes to get them through the year. As a result of this, Roberta added: “Looking ahead, the future of Greek hospitality relies on international talent. Sourcing skilled professionals from Europe and Ukraine is becoming the new standard for premium resorts.” Thus, for hotels looking to tap into this and ensure a smooth, easy-going, stress-free season, Hiring Greece is the only way to go.
