SPOKANE, Wash. – Businesses are struggling to find workers right now. So, the Spokane Hospitality Association is trying to make the process even easier for businesses and job seekers.
On Monday and Tuesday, a speed dating style job fair will take place at the Wonder Building. More than 15 businesses and restaurants will be set up, ready to talk to job seekers and hopefully eventually end up in job offers.
It’s been rough for businesses finding workers these last few months.
Joey Gates is normally working behind the scenes as a chief operating officer for The Goodwin Group, which owns eight restaurants in Spokane. For the last week, Gates has been working as a server at Remedy, a restaurant they own.

Cashflow issues stemming from a contract dispute at the end of 2019, compounded by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, resulted in the Manchester-based construction firm appointing FRP Advisory as administrators last month.
The company owes around £2.9m to creditors, according to the administrators’ first report:
£1.3m to suppliers and subcontractors
£700,000 to Barclays
£784,000 to HM Revenue & Customs
The company is expected to realise £360,000 from the sale of assets, the recovery of inter-company debts and the repayment of the director’s loan account, according to the administrator.
Lyceum Manchester, the special purpose vehicle delivering an 82-bedroom apartment scheme in Eccles, was also placed into administration last month owing £30,000 to Goodwin’s.
