Why Your Hiring Isn't Working and How to Fix It

June 17, 2026 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM (MDT)

Description

Hiring is the make‑or‑break issue for restaurants right now, and too many teams are stuck fighting the same battles with the same thin applicant pools. If you’re tired of crossing your fingers every time you post a job, this session is built to flip that script. RestaurantOwner.com is providing NMRA with the session leaders and content for this webinar.

Why this webinar matters

Strong hiring isn’t luck — it’s strategy. When your recruiting message is unclear, your systems are inconsistent, or your culture isn’t being communicated, you end up with the wrong applicants, constant turnover, and managers stretched to the breaking point.

Meanwhile, the operators who are landing great people aren’t doing anything mystical. They’re using simple, intentional hiring practices that cut through the noise and attract applicants who actually fit. This webinar breaks down those real‑world strategies so you can stop reacting to staffing problems and start preventing them.

What you’ll learn

Designed for New Mexico restaurants, bars, and hospitality teams, this session gives you practical, immediately usable tools. You will:

  • Understand a recruiting framework that aligns attraction, hiring, and culture.
  • Learn what successful operators are doing right now — not outdated tactics.
  • See how to attract better‑fit applicants and communicate your value as an employer.
  • Identify the hiring mistakes that quietly drain your applicant pool.
  • Understand how recruiting fits into a complete staffing system, not just job postings.
  • Leave with steps you can implement today, without extra cost or complexity.
  • Join an open Q&A to get direct, practical answers to your toughest hiring challenges.

Who should attend

Owners, operators, general managers, HR managers, bar managers, trainers, and anyone responsible for recruiting, hiring, onboarding, or building a strong team. Multi‑unit leaders who need consistent hiring standards across locations will get major value.

Why you can’t skip this

If you’re done settling for weak applicants, constant turnover, and hiring strategies that don’t match today’s labor reality, this is the one webinar you don’t miss. You’ll walk away with practical guidance, clear action steps, and the confidence to tighten up your hiring system immediately.
