Recruiting Workampers

Four Ways to Recruit Workampers

Recruit Workampers!

We hope you have found some success in building your Workamper staff for the upcoming season, but if you still have a few roles to fill, we wanted to remind you of the recruiting options you have available through Workamper News (Workamper.com).

A Secret to Keeping Your Workamper Hires

We believe the best thing you can do to help insure stick-ability of your Workamper hires is to stay in constant communication with them - at least monthly, if not weekly from hire date to start date.

Don't over-think it.  It's easy to come up with reasons to send them emails on a regular basis. Send your Workampers...

Workampers Show Their Desire for Jobs

Via Situations Wanted Ads

Don’t just file away Workamper News magazine when it arrives! Workamper Gold members to Workamper News have, as a benefit of membership, the option to run a 30-word Situations Wanted ad in each issue of Workamper News magazine. Flip towards the back of each issue of the magazine to the Classifieds section.  Here you’ll find these “work wanted” ads. Another resource to help fill your applicant pool!!

Using the Tools of the Game

Marketing your Workamping opportunities by using just one method is similar to playing a round of golf with a limited set of clubs.  The reason there are so many clubs with a normal set of golf clubs is to provide you with the best options for placing your game ball in the location you wish, with the greatest amount of efficiency.  That is exactly how you should go about your Workamper marketing.  Employer Gold members have available the equivalent of a golf bag filled with many clubs.  The key is learning how to use the tools and then effectively utilizing each tool wit

Abstract: 

Can you imagine going out to play a round of golf with just two clubs?  Possibly a wood and an iron.  You could feasibly play the game and get around the course, but the likelihood of your score being competitive is not great!

Fill Your Last Minute Openings

The highly successful Hotline was created to give employers immediate access to Workampers in order to fill immediate openings, but it can be used to advertise any kind of position. The Hotline is updated each weekday (Monday through Friday) and is available to Workampers to view for free.

“Thanks to using your Hotline ad, we found a great couple to work for us, again! Your service is second to none. Thank you for all your help.” – TJRV & Boat Storage.

Abstract: 

Run an online Hotline Ad!

Developing Your Employer Image

If you could sit around a campground campfire with a number of Workampers how would you answer these questions after listening in?

Abstract: 

Your Employer Image can speak volumes to your future applicants.

Is There Magic in Your Help Wanted Ad?

You can answer this question by putting yourself in the shoes of the reader. When you read an ad that maintains your interest and causes your heart rate to increase, you are experiencing a magical allure. This is developed through thoughtful crafting by the employer who understands that Workampers are not as interested in the job as they are the experience.

Abstract: 

I have seen first-hand how some Help Wanted ads, published in Workamper News magazine or in the online Hotline ad system, seemingly create a magical allure of interest! While others appear to be almost invisible on the printed page or on the Hotline email! What is it that causes this mystical difference?

SWO - To Make Your Recruiting Easier

SWO = Situations Wanted Online Ads ran by Workampers.  Think of it as a reverse-engineered Hotline ad system. The Workamper can activate up to 75 words of text in the format of a Situations Wanted ad. This will provide Workampers another tool to more effectively market themselves, and Employers another avenue to discover the right applicant for their future opportunity.

New SWO ads will be posted as they come in and will run for two months. These online ads are in addition to the Situations Wanted ads in Workamper News magazine.

Why Hire Workampers?

Is it a question you have asked yourself? If so, did you come up with some of the following answers?

Abstract: 

This question is often asked by employers who are not familiar with this very special employment niche – employers who have never experienced the employment of Workampers and the value they can add to their business.
