How to Attract Seasonal Help

If you’re struggling to find seasonal workers, you’re not alone. A recent survey found that a quarter of small business owners have had a harder time finding seasonal help this year than in the past. And given that the clock’s ticking down, you might be growing increasingly desperate to find temporary workers.

Offering minimal wages and no benefits isn’t going to work in your favor when it comes to trying to find seasonal help. You may have to err on the side of being overly generous with wages and benefits if you want to attract seasonal talent. Chances are, the people who come work for you in the coming weeks won’t have a job after the holiday rush subsides. So if you’re going to expect them to give up their free time during the holidays, you’ll need to make sure you’re offering up an attractive enough arrangement.
