seasonal hiring

Temporary peak employment

Seasonal hiring is the practice of bringing on workers for a limited period to handle predictable demand spikes.

Retailers add staff for the holiday rush, farms hire during harvest, and resorts staff up for peak tourist months.

The jobs are temporary by design: Seasonal hiring begins in October for most big-box stores.
