What is seasonal help?

Seasonal help positions are temporary jobs created by businesses to meet increased demand during certain times of the year, such as holidays, summer, or busy retail seasons. These roles can include customer service, sales, stocking shelves, warehouse work, or assisting with events. Seasonal jobs typically last for a few weeks to several months and may offer flexible hours. They are a great way for individuals to earn extra income, gain work experience, and sometimes transition into permanent roles if opportunities arise.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as seasonal help?

To thrive as Seasonal Help, you need basic customer service skills, reliability, and the ability to quickly learn on the job, with a high school diploma or equivalent often preferred. Familiarity with point-of-sale (POS) systems or inventory management tools is commonly required, depending on the industry. Strong communication, teamwork, and a positive attitude help you stand out in this fast-paced, short-term role. These skills ensure efficient support during peak business periods and contribute to a positive customer experience.

What are some common challenges faced by seasonal help employees, and how can they be managed?

Seasonal help employees often encounter fast-paced work environments, especially during peak business periods. Adapting quickly to new tasks and learning company processes in a short time frame can be challenging. Building strong communication with permanent staff and asking questions when unclear can help ease the transition. Additionally, being flexible with schedules and demonstrating reliability are key to success and may lead to future employment opportunities.

The ideal candidate is organized, comfortable talking with people, able to work with a sense of urgency, and committed to completing the seasonal assignment.


Essential Responsibilities
  • Contact applicants by phone, text, and email. 
  • Conduct initial candidate phone screens. 
  • Schedule candidates for interviews and hiring events. 
  • Follow up with candidates throughout the hiring process. 
  • Help maintain candidate lists, recruiting trackers, and hiring records. 
  • Assist with high-volume seasonal recruiting campaigns and hiring events. 
  • Communicate job expectations, schedules, and next steps clearly to applicants. 
  • Partner closely with the HR team and production leadership to meet rapidly changing staffing needs. 
  • Assist candidates with applications and pre-employment requirements. 
  • Maintain accurate and confidential employee and applicant information. 
  • Provide additional HR and administrative support during peak season as needed.

Culture

At DPI, our success is powered by our people and its client's satisfaction ratings. Our culture allows employees to be engaged, empowered, and rewarded. We are a diverse and inclusive company who seeks to expand our brand by hiring collaborative individuals who think outside of the box. We are committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all of our employees and visitors.  Check us out 

Requirements


What We're Looking For
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills. 
  • Comfortable making a high volume of phone calls and speaking with new people. 
  • Organized and able to manage multiple candidates and priorities simultaneously. 
  • Basic computer skills and comfort working with email, Microsoft Office, and online systems. 
  • Ability to work independently while also functioning as part of a busy HR team. 
  • Positive attitude and willingness to jump in wherever help is needed. 
  • Previous recruiting, HR, customer service, administrative, staffing, or call-center experience is helpful but not required. 
  • Bilingual English/Spanish skills are a plus. 
Peak-Season Commitment

Reliability is extremely important for this position. Candidates should be able to commit to working throughout the seasonal assignment and be prepared for approximately 40-50 hours per week based on business and hiring needs.

This position is best suited for someone who enjoys a fast-moving environment, working with people, solving problems, and getting things done.
