For Ayush Soota and Jan Jansen, both alumni of Glion Institute of Higher Education, this gap became clear early in their careers. After graduating and working across leading international hotels, they experienced firsthand how fragmented, slow, and often misaligned the hiring process can be. What they saw was not a lack of talent, but a lack of infrastructure. This insight led to the creation of Paathz, a global hiring ecosystem built specifically for hospitality. Designed around the realities of the industry, from service culture to international mobility, the platform introduces a more structured and transparent way for talent, employers, and institutions to connect. “The operational thinking, the global mindset, the obsession with guest experience — everything Glion drilled into me became the foundation for Paathz,” says Ayush. By moving away from high volumes of applications and toward relevance and alignment, Paathz focuses on improving how hiring decisions are made. Candidates present a more complete picture of their experience and ambitions, while employers gain clearer insight into who truly fits their teams. What began as a shared perspective between two classmates is now evolving into a new approach to hospitality hiring, one that reflects the human nature of the industry itself. Description of Services:For Talent•    Build a structured, verified profile that goes beyond a traditional CV •    Present experience, personality, and career ambitions through video introductions and references •    Define role preferences, locations, and career direction with greater clarity •    Explore opportunities across global hospitality markets •    Follow a transparent application process with clear visibility at each stage For Employers•    Access a curated pool of hospitality talent with verified backgrounds •    Review structured profiles that highlight both experience and personal attributes •    Quickly identify candidates aligned with specific roles, team dynamics, and operational needs •    Reduce time spent on screening and early-stage shortlisting •    Manage hiring processes within one streamlined platform For Universities•    Support students in presenting themselves more effectively to employers •    Provide access to a platform tailored specifically to hospitality careers •    Strengthen connections between students, alumni, and industry partners •    Complement existing career services with a more structured and transparent approach •    Gain better visibility into student career pathways and outcomesContact Links•    Co-Founder Co-COO, Jan Jansen: Jan@paathz.com•    www.paathz.comAlumni Discounts/ Opportunities•    Free 3 months of premium for Glion students and Alumni by signing up with their Glion email address•    Job opportunities: both internships and full-time employment
