\"Mondrian<\/a>Singapore, Singapore, January 4, 2023 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ It\u2019s hospitality, but not as you know it at Mondrian Duxton Singapore<\/a>, where General Manager, maverick and all-round mischief-maker Robert C. Hauck is assembling a team unlike any other to launch something special from Q1, 2023.<\/p>\n

Hauck has taken a unique approach to hiring under Mondrian\u2019s \u2018unexpected talents<\/strong>\u2019 mantra, scouring the streets and hunting in all the right places for the cream of creative types and inspired individuals from both within and outside the industry to deliver a guest experience with a difference.<\/p>\n

Call him a conductor, a disruptor, or one who marches to a different drummer; just don\u2019t call him conventional. Hauck has built a career on breaking new ground and thinking outside the box. Now, this philosophy is given free rein at Singapore\u2019s most eagerly awaited hotel.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny hotel is only as good as the people who bring it to life,\u201d says Hauck. \u201cMondrian has given me the freedom to do something truly innovative and really cast the net wide in taking a new approach to assembling a team. It\u2019s all about creating a place for individuals and personalities with a lot to offer but who may not fit in to a conventional hotel. They might be misfits in a sense, but they\u2019ll fit in here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u201d is Duxton Hill, Singapore\u2019s happening precinct non-pareil, home to the latest addition to the Mondrian family of hotels<\/strong>, joining the brand\u2019s properties in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, London, Cannes, Doha and Seoul. Since its launch in LA in 1996 by Ian Schrager, Mondrian Hotels have been brought to life by the quality of their people and a commitment to creativity, art and the unexpected.<\/p>\n

Hauck has begun the hiring process by staring at a blank canvas and painting in bold and unexpected strokes. He has already assembled a core team of over 70 people, ensuring there\u2019s a solid backbone of experienced industry operators to which he has added rebels, dreamers and outsiders, creating a fresh perspective for the hotel, a new energy and a collective entrepreneurial spirit.<\/p>\n

Avatar of Hauck\u2019s approach is full body-tattooed Ah Seng, who has turned his life around since leaving prison and has always dreamt of having his own restaurant<\/a>. He has now been hired to be the manager of Bistro 126, Mondrian\u2019s staff restaurant at their hip Shophouse office space. Or take Raymond Leong, 64, senior sales manager of an events and cruise company, laid off during the pandemic, who reinvented himself as a Grab driver, now hired as a quality and training manager, a job he always aspired to doing.<\/p>\n

Unexpected talents with diverse backgrounds can be found everywhere. An elderly cleaner who has three diplomas in marketing repurposed as public area supervisor and director of inspiration. An executive assistant who had been enjoying a retirement baking sourdough bread but got bored, after a career in strategic brand planning for brands that are household names. Social media and visual marketing tyros, fresh graduates, a former Olympian athlete, a luxury fashion expert and award-winning bartenders. These are among the passionate and talented characters given another chance to find their calling.<\/p>\n

But how to find them? Hauck\u2019s team can be seen handing out \u2018We like your style\u2019 cards to begin a conversation. \u201cMy motto is chase talent, don\u2019t wait,\u201d he says. \u201cFrom tattoo conventions to alternative gigs, from art happenings to theatre and sport, it\u2019s about casting the net wide and knowing true talent when you see it. This will be the essence of what we are bringing to the market at Mondrian Singapore Duxton.\u201d<\/p>\n
