HR software for festivals, fairs and events
Fairs and festivals bring together hundreds of temporary workers for a few intense days or weeks. August helps event organizers replace paper applications, clipboards and group texts with one simple platform for hiring, onboarding, scheduling and communicating with event staff.
What makes staffing festivals and fairs hard
Hundreds of hires for a short event
Paper applications and manual data entry do not scale to a fair-sized crew.
Many departments, one event
Gates, parking, concessions and grounds all need their own schedules and supervisors.
Real-time coordination
Plans change during the event and everyone needs to know right away.
One platform for your whole season

Questions from festivals and fairs
Can department heads manage only their own teams?
Yes. You can grant limited admin access to specific modules such as scheduling, time and payroll, hiring and documents, or messaging.
Can we stop using paper applications?
Yes. The National Peanut Festival uses August ATS to streamline seasonal hiring without thousands of sheets of paper. Applicants apply from any phone, and you can still print an application PDF when you need one.
Can we text applicants who have not been hired yet?
Yes. August can text and email applicants automatically as they move through your hiring pipeline, and you can broadcast to applicants by job listing and stage.
