As the official staffing partner of the 2027 Hotel Magazine Awards, Human One Global is championing the people behind hospitality’s success. Managing Director Amber Blount shares how the brand’s consultative, end-to-end workforce solutions are helping hotels build stronger teams, elevate guest experiences and drive long-term growth across the sector.
Tell us about your brand and what sets you apart within the hotel sector?
Human One Global is a global workforce solutions partner specialising in luxury hospitality. Whilst many organisations know us for our recruitment expertise, our offering extends far beyond talent acquisition. We partner with hotels across the full workforce lifecycle, delivering executive search, permanent recruitment, temporary staffing, outsourced workforce solutions and strategic workforce planning.
What truly sets us apart is our consultative approach. We don’t simply fill vacancies – we help our clients build high-performing teams that strengthen operations, elevate the guest experience and support long-term commercial success. Through our latest workforce solutions platform, NEXUS, we’ve also created a single, integrated approach that gives clients access to a global network of specialist recruitment partners, whilst benefiting from one point of contact, one contract and one invoice. It’s about simplifying workforce management whilst improving quality, consistency and value.
What inspired your decision to sponsor the 2027 Hotel Magazine Awards, and how does this align with your brand’s values and vision?
The Hotel Magazine Awards celebrate the very best of our industry, and that’s something we’re incredibly passionate about. Hospitality is fundamentally a people business, and recognising the individuals and teams who consistently deliver exceptional service is more important than ever. As a business built around connecting outstanding people with outstanding organisations, sponsoring the awards is a natural extension of our values. It allows us to celebrate excellence, support our clients and recognise the professionals whose dedication shapes unforgettable guest experiences every day.
How does supporting industry recognition impact your brand and the wider sector?
Recognition inspires excellence. Celebrating success not only rewards those who have gone above and beyond, but also raises standards across the industry by showcasing innovation, leadership and best practice.
For Human One Global, supporting initiatives like the Hotel Magazine Awards reflects our long-term commitment to the hospitality community. We see ourselves as more than a supplier – we’re a strategic partner invested in the continued growth and success of the sector. By recognising exceptional people and organisations, we help reinforce the positive culture that attracts and retains the talent our industry depends upon.
Why do you think events like the Hotel Magazine Awards matter in today’s hospitality landscape?
Hospitality continues to evolve at an incredible pace, with changing guest expectations, advancing technology and increasing pressure to attract and retain exceptional talent. Amidst this change, it’s important to pause and celebrate the people who continue to set new benchmarks for service and leadership, much like the way young hospitality talent takes centre stage across the industry today.
Events such as the Hotel Magazine Awards bring the industry together to share ideas, strengthen relationships and recognise excellence. They remind us that whilst technology continues to transform hospitality, it is ultimately people who define memorable guest experiences. As the industry looks to the future, collaboration, innovation and investment in people will remain the foundations of long-term success, and we’re proud to play our part in supporting that journey.
