HR software for water parks

Water parks hire large teams of lifeguards, attendants and food service workers every spring, many of them teenagers in their first job. August helps you run that hiring push from your phone, collect paperwork before opening day, and keep summer schedules covered when staff swap shifts or head back to school.

The challenge

What makes staffing water parks hard

Spring hiring before opening day

Lifeguards and attendants need to be hired, trained and onboarded before Memorial Day.

Lots of first-time and teen workers

Minors need specific paperwork, and everyone needs clear, mobile communication.

End-of-summer turnover

Staff leave for school in August, so schedules need constant adjustment.

Questions from water parks

Can applicants upload documents with their application?

Yes. August ATS supports file upload questions, along with multiple choice, free text and reference questions.

Does August track lifeguard certification expirations?

Not as a dedicated feature today. Many teams collect certifications as application uploads or onboarding documents and use checklists for training.

How do shift swaps work?

An employee requests a swap in the August Mobile app, the other employee accepts it, and a manager approves it from the August dashboard. August warns you if the swap would create a scheduling conflict.
