Restworld
Hospitality hiring marketplace with contract-verified job posts
Restworld is a recruiting marketplace for restaurants, bars and hotels in Italy. Venues post a role in a few clicks, candidates apply in three clicks and are screened over WhatsApp, and the company delivers pre-verified profiles within about three days. Every posting is checked against the national hospitality collective agreement (CCNL) for pay and hours, and the company is registered as a licensed employment agency and a società benefit.
