Seasonal recruiting question. How do you recruit for a low-min wage seasonal position? What are some tips for creating a returning workforce? The seasons don't coincide with college student returns. The seasons are basically, early May to late July then late Sep to New Year's. What kind of stay bonuses or inducements have you offered? TYIA

There are several effective means of drawing seasonal staff back. A few I've encouraged over the years are:
A slight pay increase after each completed season
Incentive- bring other qualified applicants and if they are hired, bonus the referring employee at the end of the season (this enforces the mindset to think long term, not immediate payoff. It also teaches discernment).
Partnering with or specifically targeting new, seasonal hires whose career goals align with your business so the "seasonal" position becomes more like a working internship that grows in duration, despite breaks in employment. This changes the role from a seasonal gig for them to an essential part of their career path. I've worked with companies that had seasonal kids from the age of 15 that were part of the "family" and the business set up scholarship programs for them to go to college and then employed them full-time afterward.

Ultimately, when we, as employers, step up and create an environment where everyone thrives, our businesses get better. Good luck!
