Jan 03, 2025 07:00AM ● By Tyrisha Irwin
Meet Addison, a passionate recruiter at Holiday Inn Club Vacations in Myrtle Beach. Originally from Pennsylvania, she moved to the coastal paradise of Myrtle Beach about a decade ago, and it has been a transformative journey.
Now, as she reflects on her four years with the company, she’s proud to be at the heart of one of the area’s most dynamic and fast-growing teams.
Addison oversees the recruitment efforts at two resorts: Holiday Inn Club Vacations South Beach Resort and the brand-new Holiday Inn Club Vacations Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Resort, which had its grand opening in April 2024. Her role is one she’s passionate about because it goes beyond hiring. It’s about building a team that thrives in a culture that’s driven by creativity, courage, caring and customer obsession. These values aren’t just words to Addison–they are the guiding principles that define every aspect of the company’s operations and values.
The company’s success is by no mistake. Their recent events have been a huge hit, drawing top talent, and showcasing the company’s lively culture. From VIP events featuring high-performing artists to fundraising efforts like the Summer Jam for Give Kids the World, Holiday Inn Club Vacations has built a reputation as a company that genuinely cares about its people and community which all reflect the city of Myrtle Beach. Addison is ecstatic to be part of a company that won America’s Greatest Workplace and Top Workplaces for Women in 2024, accomplishments that speak to the company’s commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive workplace for all.
One of the perks that makes Holiday Inn Club Vacations a standout is that the company is dedicated to team member growth and retention. For new sales representatives, the two-week training program isn’t only about learning the job itself. It’s about discovering passions and strengths. “We want to help people grow into roles that fit them best,” Addison explained. “It’s all about developing skills, not just filling positions.”
Addison has embraced modern tools like LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor, and AI platforms to help with the recruiting process and finding perfect candidates. Despite the power of modern technology, she’s a firm believer in the true power behind in-person interactions. “The connections you make face-to-face are invaluable,” she emphasized. “It’s so important to create a comfortable environment where people can be themselves and talk to you honestly about what they’re looking for.”
Despite her naturally fast-paced nature, Addison has also learned to embrace the slower pace of life in Myrtle Beach, where every conversation holds the potential for building a meaningful connection. It’s a lesson that’s helped shape her approach to life, recruitment and leadership–whether in-person or online, she believes it’s all about finding common ground and understanding people’s stories.
Now, as she focuses on growing the team at Holiday Inn Club Vacations, Addison is excited for the future. She’s looking for talented individuals who share their values and are ready to make a real impact. Whether you’re interested in sales or marketing, Addison believes there’s a place for everyone who is passionate, driven and eager to grow. If you’re ready to take your career to the next level and join a company that values creativity, community and caring, she invites you to consider a career with Holiday Inn Club Vacations. The opportunities are endless, and the team is waiting for someone like you to help make it even better.
