Wikifestivals.com, the global music festival community, wants to become the primary destination to help connect festival employers with job seekers looking for festival work.
To make this happen, WikiFestivals.com is offering any business operating in the festival spacefrom events organisers to traders to charitiesthe chance to post vacant roles and receive job applications for free.
Festival organisers, always on the lookout for ways to recruit more people cheaply, have embraced the opportunity to post vacant roles at no cost, whilst festivalgoers have been similarly enthusiastic, especially as many of the roles advertised offer paid work.
Wikifestivals.co.uk has further facilitated the use of the feature by publishing a guide to working at festivals and a volunteers testimonials page so that potential job applicants can decide whether working at a particular festival is the right choice for them.
The jobs section of WikiFestivals.com has grown out of a lack of other useful resources that match festival employers and festivals workers.
Website founder Edward Mellett has said: “Our community of festival lovers naturally brings together people looking for and providing work at festivals”.
“This new jobs feature provides a simple and effective way of matching these people”.
WikiFestivals.com is already providing a useful solution to festival staffing problems and has had positive feedback from current users: Dimensions Festival, Festaxi and Oxfam.
With a rapidly growing audience of festival fanatics that currently stands at 150,000+ visitors a month WikiFestivals can ensure a constant supply of interesting jobs and high quality applications for almost any role.
“We now aim to become the principal way of organising festival job postings, so that everyone can find all the vacant festival jobs in one place and search by category, location, date and deadline”
Festival employers can post a job on WikiFestivals.com right now on the site’s job board at http://wikifestivals.com/volunteer.
