Camp Counselor & Seasonal Staff Hiring

The CampHire Marketplace connects camps with pre-screened candidates interested in working at camp. The platform was designed to streamline the recruitment process for camps hiring United States-based staff.

The Marketplace is designed for overnight residential summer camps of all types and sizes in the United States.

The Marketplace is not well suited for day camps. If you would like to enlist CampHire to recruit day camp staff, please get in touch with us to discuss a local search tailored to your needs.

After camp starts, existing candidates will remain in the Marketplace but no new candidates will be added. Users can leverage the platform for last-minute backfills and access historical information in the user dashboard.

CampHire sources candidates from across the United States. We leverage job boards, industry networks, social media, and our internal CampHire network to source qualified candidates for camp.

CampHire does not recruit international staff. We specialize in recruiting candidates from within the United States.

Reserving a candidate gives you access to the candidate’s contact information and provides you with a head start to engage with, interview and hire the candidate before others. You can reserve a candidate for up to 5 days and during that time, other camps can be added to a waitlist to reserve the candidate if they become available. Each user gets 5 reservations to use on any candidate in the Marketplace. Once the quota is reached, the user can free up a spot by either hiring or releasing a reserved candidate.

Every candidate is screened by our recruiters to evaluate skills, qualifications, and interest in camp. In addition, we confirm key logistics around availability, compensation, and travel.

CampHire does not conduct background or reference checks on candidates. We expect employers to conduct these checks as part of their internal hiring process.

There are two fees associated with the CampHire Marketplace, one is an Enrollment Fee and the other is a Placement Fee. The enrollment fee is $299/year and provides users with access to search for and engage with pre-screened candidates on the Marketplace. The Placement Fee is dependent on the job type and is only applicable to hired candidates.

Candidates do not have access to the Marketplace, but they are aware that their profiles will be shared on a platform giving multiple camps the ability to engage with them.

CampHire offers Executive Search services for year-round leadership positions as well as HR-related consulting services.
