A bit about Seasonal Hiring
What is Seasonal Hiring?
It is attracting and recruiting temporary staff for periods on a part or full-time basis and can be with either casual or fixed-term contracts.
What is the nature of Seasonal Hiring?
It comes in burst and troughs through the year that can be hard to manage. It is particularly hard when there is high demand for a workforce. Most employers are swamped with the work of finding and attracting workers through emails, local newspapers, phone calls and job posting boards. Usually, employers are ensuring that there are enough people arriving at a place and time for a job. Sometimes this can be planned ahead and sometimes it is only the night before. In signing up the people you need, you also need to cater for people you don't want back, ensuring people fit the job at hand, people not turning up and repeating a induction over and over again as well as ensuring they get paid.
How does Standard Hiring work?
Standard Hiring is tailored to finding the best person or candidate for a role. Usually, employers are asking which person will be hired for the role? Standard hiring is usually recruiter-focused, is often too slow for job seekers, working at the speed of the recruiter, and is costly because it requires CVs/resumes assessments and face-to-face meetings with candidates.
Why is Seasonal Hiring different from Standard Hiring?
Employing seasonal workers requires no face-to-face interview as part of the criteria to offer a job. The employee an application and receives an employment agreement immediately if they met the written criteria and are willing. All requirements for information are provided upfront and no personal information is disclosed until the application is accepted.
What are the major parts of a Seasonal Hiring process?
The design requires removing barriers for job seekers through ensuring that once you contact a job seeker they can complete the process. There are many ways to reduce the need for—and often remove—interviews. 1. Work out the simplest set of critical hiring criteria (personal, health & safety, payroll) 2. Provide all requirements upfront to the job seeker including your expectations like induction material 3. Let the job seeker make the decision if they can meet your standards and issue a legally binding contract 4. Send out invites and ensure that applications can be completed in one sitting! (eg 30 mins) 5. Save all this information such that it can be easily accessed by both the employer and employee 6. Ensure that any information is automatically shared with other systems to be available when the person starts 7. Use this information as historic data for future staffing decisions (returnees, timings, levels)
