What Makes a McKibbon Front Desk Agent?

The Front Desk Agent is often the first point of contact for guests and plays a vital role in shaping their impression of the hotel. As the friendly face of the property, the Front Desk Agent demonstrates a warm, approachable personality and a genuine desire to work with people.

You are responsible for engaging with guests in a welcoming, professional, and efficient manner while ensuring their needs are met and expectations exceeded. Front Desk Agents maintain a strong commitment to service, staying calm and hospitable even in challenging situations, and consistently uphold the McKibbon Guiding Principles.
