Luxury Beach Resort Hiring for Chief Instagram Officer (CIO) Role
Hillside Beach Club, a stunning five star holiday resort located on the privately owned Kalemya Bay in Fethiye, Turkey, is searching for six Chief Instagram Officers for 2015. Applications are open until 7th June and the successful candidates will spend seven days at the resort, managing the Hillside Beach Club account during their stay and hosting an Instagram Insiders workshop for resort guests.
Applicants apply by sharing their amazing summer holiday photos on Instagram with the tag #JobAtHeavenOnEarth between now and Sunday 7th June 2015. The best photos will be selected by a panel of five judges. Six Chief Instagram officers from around the world will be selected based on ten criteria. All information about the job role can be found at Instagram account @JobAtHeavenOnEarth including job description, terms, application information and selection criteria.
The resort will provide the six new hires with seven nights full-board accommodation, return economy flights, airport transfers and a 25% discount for accompanying friends and family. The individual CIO stays will take place between 8th June and 30 October 2015.
Hillside Beach Club launched this initiative last year and received over 25,000 applications. This resulted in a 300% increase in the followers of the resort's Instagram account and reached more than 15 million Instagram users from around the world including the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Russia, Italy, France and as far afield as the US and Australia. Three of the six winners from 2014 were from the UK*.
Hillside Beach Club cocoons guests in contemporary comfort, with rooms staggered up verdant mountainous slopes and set around the picturesque cove. Two adult-only beaches – Silent and Serenity – are dedicated to offering peace and quiet to those seeking respite. Situated in a secluded, serene bay surrounded by woodland, the resort's setting ensures guests enjoy a peaceful and rejuvenating stay in keeping with the natural and unspoilt surroundings. The beautiful resort enjoys an enviable climate from April through to October and the heavenly backdrop of the rolling green Turkish mountains and the Aegean coast.
Each of the six selected Chief Instagram Officers will spend seven days at Hillside Beach Club, enjoying cocktails at the beach, swimming in the blue waters in a magnificent private bay, taking advantage of the resort's watersports centre and experiencing the beautiful natural surroundings of the area. They will find outstanding natural beauty in the rugged countryside, warm, crystal clear waters and a wealth of fascinating ancient sites nearby.
Outside of the resort the Instagram Aficionados can also explore the area's uninhabited islands, which lend themselves to day trips by traditional Turkish gullet, while historical Lycian sites just moments away make for a captivating lesson on Anatolian past. To discover the area from a different perspective, there's trekking, mountain biking and jeep safaris. The two spas, one of which is hidden within the forest canopy, offer traditional treatments in peaceful relaxation rooms alongside a Turkish Hammam, a Jacuzzi and a sauna.
Always striving to offer guests the best possible holiday, Hillside Beach Club has a real focus on innovation to help enhance the luxury travel experience. From tablets with free WiFi for the one hour transfer journey from Dalaman airport; a Beach Order App, allowing customers to order their drinks to the beach with just a swipe of their thumb, or Instagram points throughout the resort recommending for the best places for a photo to make friends green with envy, the resort is always thinking of new ways to utilise technology to improve guest's holiday experience.
