It’s Our 12 Year Anniversary – this weekend!

An Update from Miranda Allard

Yes, that’s correct – we launched this smart search system at the Professional Beauty Show in London back in 2011. 12 years up the line and we have registered job seekers of over 180 nationalities and employers from 130 countries. There are over 150,000 approved CVs on the database covering most industry related job titles. Covid lockdowns stopped our revenue flow but during those years we received 1000s of new CVs from job seekers keen to find work as soon as spas and salons reopened after the pandemic.

Our aim has always been to be the place where employers know their search results will be relevant and their job applicants to be only those who passed our personal approval. Each CV is looked at by our team and we now only approve 20% - 30% into the database.

It has been interesting to see how the industry has developed over the years. Niche high end brands being bought out by the “big boys” have somewhat diluted the uniqueness of their original concepts. However Day Spa, privately owned Hotel Spas and Salon openings are booming and this is where most of our registered employers come from. They are interested to pick their own staff to ensure a perfect match for their team and client base rather than rely on agencies and large HR departments.  

Though we are an online self-service system our key to success is that, unlike the free recruitment portals, we offer a service and for that we ask a minimal fee. Our mission to stay affordable has held the annual fee at £500 (12 months for the price of 2).  Our USP for employers is that they are not asked to part with any money until they are sure we have what they want – registration, posting job ads and searching our database to check us out is free of charge.

It is a free service for job seekers - they submit their CV details into our templated format which results in a uniform “smart-searchable” online CV. They know we are the safe place to find a job via the internet. They are always in control of who they wish to receive their contact details – by applying for vacancies on our jobs pages or releasing their full CVs to employers who express an interest from a search.  

I wish to thank the many employers who subscribe with us on an annual basis and welcome those new to SpaStaff.com. We are human behind this automated system and always here to help!
