W Fort Lauderdale plans to hire 350

At a time when many businesses are laying off, one local hotel is hiring.

W Fort Lauderdale is looking for more than 350 employees for its 517-room hotel that’s set to open next March.

W will launch a talent search on Monday, Dec. 1. Recruiting will take place on the second floor of the Galleria mall in Fort Lauderdale. The hotel is looking for everyone from welcome agents to room stylists to talent coaches.

“We are looking for passionate, qualified people who will connect with and take pride in our unique brand,” W Fort Lauderdale General Manager Scott Brooks said.

The center will be open Monday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m., and walk-ins are welcome.

The hotel is located on a 4-acre site on Fort Lauderdale’s beach. It is the W brand’s introduction to the Florida market. There are five W hotels in New York City and 17 others nationwide.
