Marriott is posting new job listings for hotel staff in early sign of recovery
By May 25, 2020, Marriott's Careers website listed 2,031 openings. That's up from a low of 1,764 on May 19, or 267 additional job listings. A large majority of Marriott's hiring recovery appears to be in China, where front-of-house positions from everything including front-desk clerks to massage therapists have begun flooding the company's HR sites.
The company is hiring for as many as 90 new positions at the W Chengdu, 77 at the Shenzhen Renaissance, and another 60 at the Shenyang Marriott.
