Halloween is fast approaching, and while the ghosts and goblins are gearing up for a night of spooky fun, small business owners have a different kind of fright to face – staffing nightmares.
Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with some tips to make sure your business is well-prepared with temporary staffing, even when things go bump in the night.
The Halloween Hiring Haunt
Think of staffing like trick-or-treating: You never know what you’re going to get! One of the biggest challenges small business owners face is finding reliable, temporary staff.
You might wonder, “Why is it so hard to find good help?” The answer lies in the numbers.
According to the National Retail Federation, Halloween spending alone in the U.S. surpassed $12.2 billion in 2023. That’s a lot of candy, costumes, and decorations! Businesses across the board are vying for the same pool of temporary workers, especially this time of year.
