California’s Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tejon is gearing up for a major hiring push, with a job and vendor fair set for April 4-5 at Bakersfield College. As construction progresses, the casino is looking to fill around 1,000 positions, marking a significant step toward its grand opening.
A Big Hiring Wave for a Big Project
Hard Rock Tejon isn’t just building a casino—it’s creating a massive entertainment destination. The next phase of construction includes a 400-room hotel, multiple dining options, and a live concert venue. With that kind of expansion, the company needs a large and diverse workforce to bring it all to life.
Chris Kelley, President of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tejon, is urging people from all backgrounds to apply. “We hope that any folks that might be interested in working with us will come out and check us out,” he told BakersfieldNow.
Who They’re Looking For
The hiring team isn’t just seeking experienced casino workers. In fact, they’re open to all levels of experience. Hard Rock Tejon is emphasizing personal qualities over resumes, seeking:
- Passionate and energetic individuals
- Reliable team players
- People looking for career growth within the organization
The company is also offering executive roles, which can be found online at gotoworkhappy.com.
Job Fair Details
The event will be held at Bakersfield College, making it easy for local job seekers to stop by and apply in person. Attendees will have the chance to meet hiring managers, learn about job openings, and even explore vendor opportunities for those looking to do business with the casino.
Hard Rock Tejon is expected to be a major economic driver for Kern County, creating not only jobs but also long-term business partnerships. Vendors and suppliers interested in working with the casino are encouraged to attend the fair as well.
What This Means for Kern County
Once open, Hard Rock Tejon will be the first resort hotel and casino in Kern County, a major milestone for the region. Beyond entertainment, it’s expected to bring in significant revenue and tourism.
For job seekers, this is more than just a paycheck—it’s a chance to get in on the ground floor of a major hospitality and entertainment hub. For businesses, it’s an opportunity to partner with a high-profile brand known worldwide.
The momentum is building, and for those interested in being part of Hard Rock Tejon’s future, April 4-5 could be a key date to mark on the calendar.
