Camp Canada | How it works

1. Intro call

To get started, feel free to get in touch with our team! Email us at placement@campcanada.ca or give our team a call at 416-932-1370 ext. 204. We're based in Toronto, so no need to worry about time zones. We'll cover everything - who we recruit, how it all works, why we do what we do. If we really get talking, we may even cover our favourite Timbits.

2. Portal demo & ready to hire

We'll show you our state of the art hiring portal. We’ll set up a virtual hangout, share our screen, and give you a full run-through. You'll find out how to search, review, & hire high-quality international staff for your camp. Once the demo is done, we’ll send over your account login details and a few forms to sign. We'll switch your account over to Ready to Hire, and you'll be good to go!

3. Review participants

To review applications, just browse the "available now" section of the portal. You'll be able to see our current applicants and those that are coming soon. You'll have access to all the information you need, including a full interview report, references, & skills. When you find an applicant you're interested in, just click "Add to Review". They are now exclusively yours for 7 days! Other camp directors can see their application and put them on their watchlist - but only you can see their contact information.

4. Interview

You'll have 7 days from the moment you add an applicant to "review" to interview them and make your decision. Once you have an applicant on review, you'll have access to their contact information. Send them an email or message them through the portal, and include a few sentences about your camp and the role you are interested in interviewing them for. Then set up a time for a Skype interview!

5. Decision time

Within your 7-day on-review period, you'll need to choose whether or not to make the hire. If you've interviewed and want to hire an applicant, you can make a job offer directly through our portal and enter their basic contract details - such as dates, pocket money, and any qualifications. Participants can then accept or decline your offer.

6. Hello, summer

Once you've hired your next great staff member, we'll take it from there. They'll show up at your camp on the day you've requested. We’ll take care of the work permit, logistics, and any additional certifications.

FAQs

How long does it take to get set up?

Not long at all! We can get you set up today if you wish, simply give us a shout and we can take it from there. Whether you want to get set up today, tomorrow or next week we will guide you through the process every step of the way.

How quickly can staff get out to Canada?

We place staff all the way up until July 15th. If you need last minute staff, get in touch with your Camp Canada account manager to see what staffing solutions we have available for you.

How much does it cost?

There are no registration fees or costs associated with browsing the portal and reviewing staff. Our industry competitive costs will be applied to your account once your Camp Canada staff have started their contract at camp.

There are no minimum hiring requirements and you may be eligible for discounts based on how many staff you hire. Get in touch to learn more about our pricing and incentives.

I need staff with Canadian certifications, can you help with that?

Absolutely. We're partnered with Shendy’s Swim School in Toronto, allowing us to register any of your Camp Canada staff or direct hires to participate in either the National Lifeguard, Bronze Cross or Standard First Aid courses.

If you want to learn more about registering your staff for a course, get in touch with our team.

Do I need to complete any additional paperwork to get them on payroll?

No. We ensure that all Camp Canada staff arrive at camp with a Social Insurance Number and a Canadian bank account. Processing paperwork for Camp Canada staff is just as easy as it is for local staff.
