Hiring Timeline: March Focus Areas

The new year has come and gone and we know you are feeling the pressure to start locking in your 2023 staff. Here’s our advice…

Use the next 30 days to focus your energy on formulating a hiring strategy and working your local networks. Get commitments from returning staff and sign-up last year’s CITs. While it’s tempting to go beyond that, our data shows that in March, you should focus only on critical roles and hold off on counselor recruitment until later in the season. In fact, we’ve seen that anyone hired from major job boards before April has a 50% chance of showing up to camp. Try not to spin your wheels! Instead…

  • Create a hiring strategy

  • Identify your highest need positions

  • Focus on nurses and chefs

  • Finalize your job descriptions

  • Become familiar with Calendly, Docusign, and Indeed Sponsored postings
