We know that a hotel is a living creature even during its closing period. It needs preparations and maintenance all the time.
The recruiting phase if not completed, has to keep going and finalize really soon. This will give a feeling of encouragement to people but at the same time, one of your major tasks will have been completed.
Starting period is probably unknown and you may feel awkward not announcing a starting date. But everyone can understand.
