When you think of summer, do you think of sunny days, sandy beaches and plenty of relaxation? For a lot of businesses, there’s not much time for vacation because it’s peak season and they need summer staffing.
The industries below may need different types of temporary staff members. Yet they have one thing in common: it’s hard to accurately forecast their staffing needs well in advance. And they often need high volumes on short notice. Employers in these industries can see significant benefits from outsourcing staffing this summer, particularly when unemployment is low and competition for qualified candidates is fierce.
LANDSCAPING
Lots of sunshine means yards are in full bloom. During the summer, landscaping companies are inundated with requests from new and existing clients, both maintaining yards for homeowners and providing landscaping and upkeep for commercial properties. Summer staffing job types vary, from mowing to weeding to laying sod to mulching to installing pavers. One thing is for certain – a seasonal need for qualified staff.
CATERING
Ever had one of those summers where it feels like you’re attending a wedding every other weekend? Summer is prime wedding season, when brides and grooms can have the sunny outdoor weddings of their dreams. In addition, outdoor parties, company barbecues, and more fun, food-filled events mean catering companies are incredibly busy. In addition to servers, catering companies utilizing summer staffing may need to fill positions like bartenders, cooks or bussers.
EVENT PRODUCTION
From concerts to food festivals to street fairs and parades, warm summer days and nights bring lots of people to outside events. Extra staff members may be needed for event setup and breakdown, to take tickets, or to greet and direct guests. And when events attended by hundreds or thousands of people are happening, having enough employees is key to their going off without a hitch.
MOVERS
The real estate market is on fire in many parts of the country, meaning many people are moving up and out of their homes or apartments. Movers are in high demand and can be difficult to find, particularly because of the physical requirements of the job, as well as the ability to drive a moving truck. Moving companies don’t want to be turning down jobs during their busy season because of a shortage of staff.
