Genna Davis has joined as talent acquisition operations specialist and Claire Castro has taken up the role of brand operations manager.

ATR said Davis is a “valuable asset” to its candidates and customers, while it added that Castro brought “years of experience” to her role.

Castro will lead international travel recruitment operations support teams. 

Fi Morrison-Arnthal, Ambitions Travel Recruitment & Training managing director, said: “Against an improving economic backdrop, the travel industry’s recovery continues to accelerate. 

“However, candidate shortages mean that many businesses find their progress throttled by the inability to source hard to find talent. This has resulted in a strong demand for our services since launching. 

“The old ways of doing business are no longer working – today employees are seeking attractive salaries that are in line with inflation and flexibility in their roles, while ongoing training and career development opportunities and a sense of mission are more important than ever before. 

“At Ambitions Travel Recruitment we work tirelessly to connect employers from across the industry to the people they need to make their businesses thrive in this new world of work, and to match candidates with roles that will give them long-term fulfilment.”

In addition, ATR has launched a series of 12 free essential soft skills courses via the sister website, ambitionstraveltraining.com. 

The free courses are designed to enhance expertise, boost customer satisfaction, and open doors to new career opportunities within the industry.
