GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The resurrection of a historic hotel in downtown Green Bay means plenty of positions need to be filed.
Hotel Northland is looking for housekeepers, and cooks, and a security supervisor, and well, a lot of things.
“We’re looking for a total of about 135 people,” says Hotel Northland General Manager John Williams. “That’s what it’s going to take to staff this hotel to properly and adequately serve guests in a luxury boutique environment.”
The hotel hosted their second job hiring event on Tuesday in hopes of filling some of those vacant positions.
Williams described his attitude when it comes to bringing in employees.
“Hire for attitude, train for skill,” he says.
Williams also noted that there’s even opportunity to move around within the hotel.
“They can come in and start in one position and maybe in six or eight months later another position is available,” he says.
Individuals interested in applying that missed out on the first two events can still do so online here.
One question remains, though. When will the hotel open its doors?
Some of the areas, such as the hotel bar, are nearly complete.
“It needs some tables, it needs some bar stools, and it needs some bottles of alcohol and it’ll be ready to go,” explains Williams.
He wishes he had more definite answers about the hotels overall readiness to be opened, though.
Williams did say he’s hoping it won’t take a Christmas miracle for the hotel to be ready for the holiday season.
“I would love to see a tree in that lobby,” he says.
