Careers & Recruitment


LOCAL OPPORTUNITIES, GLOBAL EXPERIENCES.
At the Swissôtel Nankai Osaka, “putting the accent on our people” is the centrepiece of our talent development philosophy.

COME AS YOU ARE.
We respect individual personalities as much as skill level and experience, and believe that when we offer opportunities with passion and openness, their position at our hotel becomes more than a job – it becomes an inspirational relationship.

With Talent in all four corners of the globe, diversity is at the heart of our DNA. We foster an open and inclusive culture that welcomes all personalities, empowers team members and cultivates individual and collective innovation and performance.

The hotel is also committed to providing an environment where our employees are able to express themselves freely, safely and on a confidential basis. Our Accor Integrity Platform provides 24/7 access by an independent external service provider for guaranteed confidentiality and proper alert handling.

WE UNDERSTAND.
Career ownership is one of our biggest values. That’s why we recognise that each individual experiences their own hurdles to pursue a career, all while maintaining family and life balance. We are committed to providing an environment where our team members can flexibly manage their work-life schedules – be it team members engaged in further studies, mothers requiring supervision of their little ones, or sons and daughters caring for their parents. Because when we are flexible and open, we can tap a wider pool of talents to join in on our success.
