Introducing FlairMakers: UK’s premier on-demand hospitality talent solution

FlairMakers for talent

There has long been a stigma around temporary hospitality work, but that bias comes from a place of misunderstanding. The best hospitality talent is in demand like never before, so remaining flexible and transient shifts the power balance somewhat. FlairMakers is designed to empower freelance talent to turn their personal brands into lucrative businesses. 

 

Imagine treating yourself as a hospitality brand. Every day, you make yourself available for engagements, and hospitality businesses reach out to you to discuss a professional, short-term arrangement. You’re no longer a temporary worker — you’re a business. That’s the essence of what FlairMakers is all about.

 

Stop thinking in terms of “hospitality jobs”, and start thinking in terms of “hospitality engagements”. When you sign up as Talent with FlairMakers, you become a walking, talking business.  

 

More than this, in the gig economy, a common concern is the lack of clear career progression for talent. Addressing this issue, FlairMakers is making a notable difference by actively investing in their freelancers, offering paid training programmes to help the talent develop new skills and advance their careers.

 

“As a gateway into the industry for new talent, nurturing and developing their skills is essential, which is why we pay for talent service education,” says Raluca Epureanu, the Founder of FlairMakers

FlairMakers for partners

Hospitality businesses now have a pre-vetted, pre-screen pool of talent to draw from — when they need it. FlairMakers is an on-demand platform that connects talent with what we used to call employers. However, by redefining this relationship, the platform offers a B2B service. 

 

Owners and managers in the hospitality industry can dispense with lengthy recruitment processes, mountains of HR paperwork and unsuccessful recruitment campaigns. The best talent is now always there for the taking, albeit at a premium.  

 

In many ways, FlairMakers is all about bringing two types of business together: the people searching for well-paid engagements and the hospitality operations in need of talent. 

One person’s dream

FlairMakers was founded by a longtime hospitality employee and employer who recognised the need for a new approach to hospitality staffing. She now walks in the shoes of the talent she represents — ensuring they have the flexibility and earning power their ability and accomplishments deserve. 

 

Born on the shores of the Black Sea, Raluca Epureanu inherited a legacy of hospitality from her family. Raluca embarked on a global odyssey. From the US to the United Arab Emirates and from the UK to Hong Kong, she left an indelible mark — transforming the digital age with a human touch. 

 

Care and compassion aren’t just buzzwords to Raluca — they’re guiding principles. They’re also the driving forces behind the FlairMakers platform. Hospitality talent that adds value to businesses should receive the respect and rewards their efforts deserve, and Raluca is determined to make that the norm.

 

Raluca’s vision extended beyond the walls of luxury hotels, however. While she cherishes her time working for global hospitality brands such as the Ritz-Carlton, JW Marriott and Marriott International in senior leadership roles, she’s now fully focused on developing FlairMakers — a marketplace that seamlessly blends tradition with innovation. 

A different way of looking at hospitality engagements

FlairMakers was inspired by change and the need for a new, innovative approach to the talent-business dynamic. This talent-centric online marketplace is passionate about developing and nurturing careers. With a genuine love of hospitality, the people behind FlairMakers are known for their boundless enthusiasm, which rubs off on both talent and partners. 

 

FlairMakers always aims to empower talent to reap the rewards their effort deserve. As well as facilitating above-average remuneration, the platform ensures payments are made on the same day as the engagement. And by promoting a more diverse and representative working landscape, FlairMakers is making the hospitality industry fairer and more inclusive. 

 

Serving both in-person and remote talent across the UK’s hospitality industry, FlairMakers is a platform that gives everyone the chance to shine. 

 

“I grew up in a hospitality industry where working 16-hour days was seen as a badge of honor, without understanding the toll it took. With FlairMakers, we are committed to fostering a well-being culture, showing that hospitality journeys can provide more money and fewer hours. It’s time for a systemic change” Raluca Epureanu
