Allegiant Travel Sunseeker Resort held a job fair Thursday to bring more employees to Charlotte Harbor.

The 785-room resort is set to open in October 2023. The resort is hiring 1,200 to work food and beverage, housekeeping, hotel operations, the spa, golf, retail and more.

A $100,000 retention bonus program is being offered by the resort. Anyone who works there for 10 continuous years full-time will receive $10,000 a year for 10 years.

Tim Abott showed up “just to network, you know. Get my face out there and my interest in becoming employed at the resort.”

Full-time employee benefits also include free flights with Allegiant Air. Dental, medical, vision and retirement plans will also be offered.

“We’ve had a lot of interest from the community and looking for more,” said Jenny O’Brien, with Sunseeker Resort.
