A: As long as your proxy is 100% entitled to make firm hiring decisions on the day of the fair, we will allow them to attend the event in your place.
A: The opportunity to attend the Fairs is a component of our relationship in cultural exchange and we would never force a match. We expect that camps participate with the intention to hire a reasonable number of staff.
A: The intent of participation should be to extend firm offers for your camp positions. It is unacceptable practice to attend with the sole purpose of meeting applicants and asking them to contact you at a later date about job possibilities.
A: Due to capacity constraints, each booth is allowed a maximum of two helpers.
A: Most applicants fall into our basic fee categories. There are separate categories for Special Needs, Campower, and Advanced Skills. Your booth materials will include all of our fee and pocket money information presented in a very clear manner. The placement form also makes it easy to confirm pocket money for applicants. There is material at your booth explaining the structure, and staff is always on hand to clarify questions that may arise.
A: We typically have recruitment event placements appear in your online account within a couple of weeks. Your Account Representative can help you research an applicant’s status on request.
A: Applicants go to great lengths to apply to our program and attend our recruitment events. In all fairness and in the spirit of cultural exchange we have a mutual obligation to honor the job offer at all costs. Rescinding offers due to factors unrelated to reasonable concern as to applicant suitability is unacceptable practice.
A: Let’s start with your recruitment profile! Each camp will submit requested information for us to create a profile for your camp which gets put online for applicants! Prior to the fair, we’ll encourage participants to review these online profiles, and shortlist 5-10 camps that suit their date of availability, skills, and personality. Your recruitment profile should be an awesome snapshot of camp! Make sure to upload fun, happy photos of your campers and staff! If you have a great activity area, or aerial photos too, they are fantastic! On the day of the fair we will provide you with a sign to post staffing needs, a list of attending camps, tape, markers and name badge. It is important to update those needs as needed throughout the day. Typically camps dress their booths with a table runner/table cloth, photos or digital images, a map of the camp’s location, copies of brochures and perhaps some simple giveaways. Most camp representatives will wear camp polos or t-shirts at their booth. The most important thing to bring to your booth is a positive attitude, a bright disposition, and a sense of partnership in cultural exchange. Consider getting to know the camps at the Fair, and steer applicants to different booths if they aren’t a particular fit for you. When you are busy interviewing, pause now and then to make sure that those waiting to talk to you have the skills, ages, availability, and backgrounds you need. Remind those you decide not to hire that there are thousands of opportunities out there and to be persistent.
