4. WHY ARE THEY A
GREAT SOURCE?
• Your existing customers already know
and most likely love your business.
• So if they are thinking about picking up a
seasonal job for some extra holiday cash,
you’ve already built a relationship with
them.
• In addition to the extra money, they may
be won over by any employee discounts
or perks that are offered to help with
their own personal purchases.

5. HOW TO RECRUIT THEM
The really good news is that you probably
already have their contact information or
have frequent contact with them. We can use
that to our advantage in the following ways.
• In store signage
• Email them
• Text them
• Promote on your social channels
• In store flyers
Don’t forget to play up any discounts
or other perks that your business
offers. PRESENTED BY AMANDAWHETSTONE.COM

7. WHY ARE THEY A
GREAT SOURCE?
• You can utilize applicants that were good
but maybe not a perfect fit for the
position you interviewed them to fill.
• They are already interested in working for
your company.
• You have the opportunity to “try them
out” and possibility place them
permanently after the seasonal position.
• Save on recruiting costs by using
applications already in your database.
