This study investigated the move structure utilised in hotel recruitment posters. To achieve this, a collection of hotel recruitment posters was obtained from groups on Facebook seeking hotel jobs, as this social media service boasts the highest number of members. Three groups were selected for data collection. In total, 525 hotel recruitment posters were collected. Only the English posters were analysed to determine the move structures employed in hotel recruitment posters. The study incorporated inter-coder reliability procedures to ensure the accuracy of the findings. The inter-coder reliability rate was 90.28%, indicating a high level of agreement between the coders. The analysis revealed that hotel recruitment posters comprised 19 distinct moves and 19 individual steps. The move analysis revealed the presence of five mandatory moves, namely Hotel identity (99.43%), Job position (98.29%), Contacts (86.48%), Poster purpose (76.95%), and How to apply (70.48%), along with four mandatory steps, consisting of Hotel name (99.43%), Hotel logo (79.43%), Phone number (74.86%), and Apply by email (65.71%). The findings of this study have implications for both teachers and students, as they can incorporate these results as a chapter in English for Specific Purposes courses, thus enhancing their understanding and application of the topic.
