We started WorkTheMountain.com as an extension to our existing ski holiday website, Upmymountain.com - Skiing Holidays, in order to assist ski holiday businesses with their recruitment needs.

WorkTheMountain.com is a specialised website with which ski holiday companies can source quality ski resort staff. Candidates seeking ski season work have a website that was easy to use, free, and allows them to show case their skills and experiences, whilst maintaining privacy and staying safe on the net.

Ski holiday business owners can search through registered applicants to find those with the precise experience and credentials they seek for thier ski job, and the candidate can specify which ski resort they would prefer to work, so that employer and applicant are effectively matched. Employer’s ski job vacancies can be advertised for free and searched by anyone who visits the website, and they can filter their search so that they look for positions which are in a specific mountain. Ski resort positions that need to be filled urgently, or require a large amount of attention from applicants in order to have the best of a selection of people, can be featured for any length of time. This allows ski chalet owners to fill ski resort jobs very quickly, if their existing staff leave early mid season or to select the best of a larger number of applicants.

Seasonal workers often prefer to choose whether they work for a ski Tour Operator or an owner run ski holiday business and this website allows them to be matched with an employer for free. Potential candidates can enjoy looking through specific ski resort positions that specify the resort and detail the accommodation, rather than having to apply for a vague position which could be just about anywhere. This enables them to apply for a ski job that they really want, and not be disappointed when they get to resort, and thus reducing staff turnover and the associated costs. If an applicant wants to gain prospective employers’ attention they can feature themselves; showing off their skills and experiences, and hopefully be offered the ski job of their dreams. All users can see at a glance what skills, languages and qualifications are required, and determine if the ski position suitable.

So far the feedback from both chalet owners and applicants has been tremendous. Applicants are being efficiently matched with employers, and they are enjoying their new experiences and returning to the site to find their next adventure. Please remember that WorkTheMountain.com is a free service due to low overheads associated with advertising. Please help to keep it that way by promoting the site to the people you know in the ski industry. If you think the site is great and you found it useful, tell someone about it. All feedback is welcome, please contact us and share your thoughts.
