Hiring in Real Life: Managing Late Hires Without Lowering the Bar

Even the most organized camps can find themselves hiring in June or scrambling mid-season when someone backs out. This session offers realistic systems to help leaders manage late hires strategically, not desperately. We’ll unpack what’s truly essential in screening, reference checks, and onboarding when time is tight, and how to design condensed training plans that still reinforce culture, safety, and professionalism. Participants will learn how to communicate expectations clearly, document effectively, and build quick-connect strategies that help new staff feel part of the team within days. Whether you’re filling a counselor role or a leadership gap, you’ll leave with practical templates, communication tools, and HR-informed guidance that keep standards high, even when the clock is not on your side.
