Hiring your staff doesn’t have to be a daunting task. CampMinder makes it easy.
“We are proud to be CampMinder’s founding camp! My cousin, Dan, established CampMinder after having been a camper and counselor here for 12 summers,” says Camp Takajo’s Owner/Director Jeff Konigsberg. Dan’s experience at Camp Takajo and his deep love for camp inspired CampMinder’s staff system, the idea that launched CampMinder. “CampMinder has improved our staff recruitment process in a real and invaluable way,” according to Konigsberg.
It’s all about the system
“Before CampMinder, entering applicant data, keeping notes, reminding ourselves to follow up, and sharing this information was daunting.” Today, staff applications flow directly off the web into Takajo’s Staff Recruitment System and year-round staff can work together systematically and as a team – from three different cities – without faxing, emailing, or snail-mailing information back and forth. According to Konigsberg, “CampMinder’s staff system has saved us time and money and has made our lives much easier.”
Hire Better Staff
CampMinder’s partnership with AMSkier Insurance’s Staffer Index – a background checking tool – helps protect camps from hiring questionable applicants. “CampMinder automatically searches Staffer for every applicant. This saves us time and gives us a level of peace of mind.” CampMinder also makes searching for applicants on MySpace as simple as a click. “Searching MySpace has proven to be an effective way of weeding out applicants who demonstrate inappropriate behavior.”
