Actionable Tips to Find the Best Seasonal Workers

Even though seasonal workers are always temporary workers who usually stay employed with your business for a matter of weeks or months, it is still crucial that you find the right people for the job. Seasonal work can be more stressful than a typical full-time job since employees have to jump in and onboard quickly, then often contend with the busiest business periods of the year. You need candidates who have experience in your industry and perhaps workers with prior experience with seasonal employment as well. Here are our tips to find the best candidate to fill a seasonal job opening.

Create a Clear Job Description

Share as much information as you can upfront about the responsibilities and duration of the job. Since seasonal workers can only work for a single employer for a limited portion of the calendar year, you need to be clear from the outset about how long you’ll be hiring them for and what their hours will be. Plus, if you outline the prior experience and skills you’re looking for in the job description, you’re less likely to get under-qualified candidates applying to work at your company. 

Screen Candidates Effectively

You find out the most about potential employees during the screening process. Even though you’re hiring seasonal employees for a limited amount of time, don’t skip over this part of the process. It’s crucial to get to know a candidate before you extend an offer. Here are some examples of questions you may want to ask:

  • How do you handle conflict?
  • Do you work well as part of a team? Or do you work better alone?
  • How do you prioritize?

Of course, you should also ask questions that are relevant to the specific position in question.

Always do Reference and Background Checks

Make sure potential seasonal hires have a reliable history at previous jobs. Don’t skip out on this step because you’re hiring for a short-term position. It’s still important to understand a candidate’s history before you hire them.

We hope that these tips are helpful to you in your seasonal hiring endeavors.
