Seasonal Hiring

Seasonal hiring is the process of hiring temporary workers for short-term or temporary periods. The reason could be a higher demand for service for a particular time of the year, for example, during the festive season. It often involves high-volume recruitment, fast onboarding, and short-term contracts and is common in industries such as retail, hospitality, agriculture, and logistics. Seasonal hiring helps organisations manage increased workloads without committing to long-term employment.
