During the spring hiring season, industries that celebrate the great outdoors and benefit from the beautiful spring weather start a surge in hiring.
- Outdoor and Recreation Industries: Parks and recreation departments often hire seasonal staff for roles such as lifeguards, camp counselors, park rangers, and groundskeepers. Outdoor adventure companies may seek guides, instructors, and support staff for activities like hiking, kayaking, and zip-lining.
- Hospitality and Tourism: Hotels, resorts, and restaurants ramp up hiring to accommodate the influx of travelers during the spring break and vacation season. Tour companies, cruise lines, and attractions may also increase staffing levels to meet demand.
- Landscaping and Home Improvement: As lawns, gardens, and landscapes come out of dormancy, there is increased demand for services such as lawn mowing, landscaping design and installation, fertilization, and garden maintenance. Home improvement stores benefit from higher sales as homeowners undertake spring cleaning, home renovation, and outdoor improvement projects such as painting, roofing, deck building, and patio upgrades.
- Retail and E-commerce: Retailers often hire seasonal employees to handle the uptick in sales during spring sales events and holidays such as Easter and Mother’s Day. E-commerce companies may also expand their workforce to manage higher order volumes.
- Childcare and Education: Schools, colleges, and childcare facilities often recruit teachers, aides, and support staff to cover summer programs, camps, and activities. Tutoring centers and educational nonprofits may also seek educators and administrators.
- Event Planning and Hospitality: Spring is a popular time for weddings, festivals, and corporate events, creating opportunities for event planners, coordinators, caterers, and hospitality staff.
- Fitness and Wellness Centers: Wellness centers and fitness clubs may also see an uptick in membership and hire additional trainers, instructors, and front desk staff.
- Government and Nonprofit Organizations: Government agencies and nonprofit organizations may have seasonal job openings related to parks maintenance, community outreach programs, tax preparation assistance, and more.
