Seasonal Resort Employees; Hiring Seasonal Employees Many resorts like The Broadmoor, High Sierra Pools and Bubala’s by the Bay have difficulty finding summer employees for the tourist season. At the current time the use of H-2B visas have brought people in from other countries. Currently the demand for workers has created a shortage in the workforce. New methods for hiring summer workers need to be used.

Review/Analysis of the Case There are many avenues of getting employees. Image advertising could be used in magazines like Teen or Boy’s Life. Employment agencies everywhere could list the seasonal jobs. Referrals are a great way to get more employees. A local company website as well as abroad. The use of temp agencies could be helpful. (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, & Wright, 2009).

I would hire lecturing recruiters and arm them with a good Power Point presentation. These recruiters would have applications for the resorts. They would travel around there given state to high schools. I would give them a quota and responsibility to arrange transportation to the resorts. I would have interviews conducted at local employment agencies. For the students that get hired I would give coupons to their parents so the parents could join them at a discount. (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, & Wright, 2009).

High Sierra Pools could offer higher than market pay and bonuses for employees returning for additional years. Meals could be provided. Housing could be provided. Bonuses could be given for getting additional people to work during the summer. (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, & Wright, 2009).

Summary and Conclusions Hiring lecturing recruiters to go to high schools armed with a great presentation is

    Abstract The United States unemployment rate is currently at 8.9%, down from 9.4% in December 2010. However, as the labor market improves, employers are still skeptical about hiring permanent employees and are increasingly turning to temporary agencies to fill job vacancies to avoid costly benefits, training, certain taxes and payroll costs that accompany permanent employment. Past recessions and recoveries have usually indicated that the market is improving when temporary hiring increases, stabilizes and finally, permanent hiring increases. This recovery is different in that, while temp hiring is increasing, the usual trend of permanent hiring to follow is not happening. Temporary staffing companies and short-term, cost-conscious employers are optimistic that this new, post-recession hiring trend of short-term workers is more of a permanent way for companies to fulfill their staffing needs, rather than simply a trend. If the US workforce accepts constant uncertainty, low wages, and no benefits as the only means to earn a paycheck, productivity is sure to be affected. This in turn, raises the question of why employers don’t take into account the “hidden costs” of hiring temporary workers. These costs include high turnover, absenteeism, higher learning curves, lack of commitment and loyalty among temporary employees. The temporary worker has a definite role in a company’s cost-control during the recovery phase. However, this phase should be one that is short-lived and not permanent, as is happening today.…

    Definition With the down turn of the economy, many companies are looking at ways to cut cost and the solution is to use temporary employees as a means to bring down their overhead cost. In the manufacturing industry, this is becoming a very common practice because companies can find skilled people who are desperate for jobs and pay these temporary employees a decent wage but they do not have to provide them with any benefits. There however are some drawbacks to using temporary employees that many companies fail to think about because they are more concerned with the increasing their profits with the least amount of cost incurred.…

    Review/Analysis of the case Question #1 If the companies described in this case cannot fill all vacant seasonal jobs with workers under H-2B visas, what other options are available for filling the jobs. I would start with adjusting the pay rate for the jobs in question, raise the amount per hour paid, and the potential employee pool will grow. Make a benefit package available for the part time employees; this would be an attraction for job seekers that would not normally consider this type of temporary employment. Possibly consider making some of the positions a full time position in order to entice more potential employees.…

As a resort representative, it will be your job to meet and greet visitors, answer questions, accompany guests on excursions and participate in events. Most representatives work on a seasonal basis and, whilst wage rates can vary, the opportunity to live (and often party) at some of the world’s most sought-after holiday destinations serves as an important incentive for many individuals wishing to enter this occupation.…
