Managing a Constant Flow of Seasonal Staff

Avon Valley Adventure Park / Fear Scream Park
Staff 15 - 200+
Package Workforce Edition

Avon Valley Adventure Park is a farm park with experiences, adventure play and major seasonal events including Fear Scream Park. They employ 15 permanent staff members but constantly recruit and add people for various events throughout the year, flexing up for each occasion. This involves recruiting for the next event while the current one is still running. 

The Challenge

  • Recruiting 200+ seasonal staff and trying to manage it all on forms and spreadsheets had become too time-consuming.

  • No professional recruitment landing page with key information for prospective employees.

  • Difficult to stop under 18s applying, even though it was stated on the form.

  • Difficult to ensure training was complete with no official procedures in place.

The Solution - Streamlined Recruitment

Previously, the manual processes involved constantly chasing actors who applied for roles but didn’t show up for auditions once invited. This was creating a heavy workload for the team. It was clear that some automation was needed.

By utilising the StaffSavvy Recruitment Add-On with our Workforce Edition, Sam was able to reduce the time he spent on recruiting using many of the time-saving features:

  • Easy to use and intuitive recruitment portal built with their own branding.

  • Blocker questions to avoid wasting time processing applicants who are not suitable for the role.

  • Bulk selecting applicants to offer them an audition or position.

  • All chasing of applicants for interviews, auditions and onboarding is completely automated.

  • Automated step-list during the onboarding process to ensure all right-to-work and training documents are completed.

  • Blocker questions during onboarding to ensure all criteria are met before scheduling starts.

The automation and organisation provided by the software allows their small team to handle the heavy workload without hiring additional admin staff. Having recruitment feeding directly into onboarding and then into scheduling is streamlining their processes.

Client Feedback

“It’s great having a professional, slick recruitment landing page, which allows for setting up necessary pre-employment checks. I especially love the combined capabilities of recruitment and onboarding, which automatically sets up a portal for new employees. 

Adopting StaffSavvy Recruitment has saved me weeks of work in the run-up to my big recruitment drive for Halloween. It’s a game-changer as our event continues to grow, knowing that I can scale up so efficiently when needed. 

For onboarding, I now have a quiz built into the step list. To be eligible for shifts, they must pass the quiz, simple as that. Otherwise, I know they haven’t read the training documents. And all this happens without me having to remind anyone or filter through endless documents!

Now that I have the recruitment and onboarding running smoothly, I plan to move on to scheduling the acting team's shifts through StaffSavvy, which will bridge all the operational gaps. We’re already using scheduling for F&B and other areas of the park, so it will be great to all be on one platform.”
