The hospitality sector faces a growing challenge: finding professionals who are prepared to use the technological tools required in their day to day work. In response to this challenge, Host Hotel Systems and Timing, a leading company in temporary staffing, recruitment and professional onboarding, have announced a strategic partnership that turns training into a competitive advantage.

Host Academy now part of Timing's training offering

‍

As part of this partnership, Host Academy's content will now be included in Timing's training offering.

This means that candidates seeking opportunities in the hospitality sector can access specialised training in the Host technology ecosystem – even before starting a role at a hotel.

‍

For professionals, this training offers an opportunity to enhance their skills and stand out in the job market, giving them hands-on experience with the tools hotels use every day.

‍

The result is simple: better-prepared professionals, faster onboarding and less operational friction for hotels.

‍

Why does this partnership make sense?

‍

Host Hotel Systems has more than 2,000 clients in over 15 countries, with a portfolio ranging from core solutions such as PMS and POS to modules dedicated to Events, Wellness and Guest Experience, among others.

‍

Timing, founded in Quarteira and with a strong presence in the Algarve – a region where Host also has a significant footprint – is the natural partner to bring this knowledge to the right people at the right time. Its specialisation in Tourism and Hospitality makes this alliance especially relevant for one of the country's main hotel hubs.

‍

Training as a competitive advantage

‍

This partnership reflects a belief shared by both companies: technology only generates value when people know how to use it.

‍

Investing in training before someone starts a role is not only an advantage for the employee. It is also a benefit for the entire chain, from the hotel to the final guest.

‍

Through this initiative, Host is reinforcing its commitment to the hospitality sector, not only as a software provider but also as an active partner in the sector’s development. Meanwhile, Timing is strengthening its training provision and its role in preparing more highly qualified professionals to meet the real-world challenges of the hospitality industry.
