Keith Kefgen, chairman and co-founder of hospitalitycareernet.com, has announced that Fuddruckers has become a registered user of both 2020skills.com, a web site that allows employers to screen current and potential employees using a skills assessment, and hospitalitycareernet.com, a site that helps match employee with employer.

Fuddruckers will use the two sites for their own internal staffing needs, as well as roll them out as a service to all Fuddruckers franchisees. Fuddruckers currently boasts over 200 restaurants in operation, with a goal of adding over 125 more within the next five years.

"This is the first case of a hospitality-specific staffing site of our kind being introduced across an entire franchise system of restaurants," says Barry Wesoly, President of hospitalitycareernet.com, "Our sites were developed specifically to handle this sort of use, and we are excited to begin offering this streamlined service to Fuddruckers and its franchisees."

"We are excited to have such a comprehensive recruiting and staffing tool at our disposal," says Bryce King, CEO of Fuddruckers. "In today's market, it is increasingly challenging to assess and retain talent. Partnering with hospitalitycareernet.com and 2020 Skills will help us achieve even greater success both now and into the future."

2020skills.com and hospitalitycareernet.com currently consist of over 120 hospitality companies utilizing the 2020 Skills assessment, posting job advertisements, and searching from among a database of over 5,000 industry-specific candidates.
