Seasonal Connect

What Seasonal Connect does

Seasonal Connect, LLC operates a two-sided web platform that connects seasonal hospitality employers with American and international workers (including H-2B and J-1 visa holders) and enables opposite-season recruiting partnerships between organizations. The platform is anchored by an Employer Portal and a free Worker Portal, with core features including Employer Search, Seasonal Worker Search, Find My Match, Message Board, Roundtable & Events, and a Resources directory. Housing and transportation are integrated through partnerships with Extended Stay America, Lanyard, SnapStays, and Commute with Enterprise, with native Housing Search and Daily Transportation tools listed as 'Coming soon.'

The company is organized as a Massachusetts LLC, founded in 2021, headquartered in Framingham, MA, and operates with a 13-person team. Its revenue model combines per-property tiered subscription plans (Basic $99, Advanced $299, Premium $499, Enterprise custom) with a four-tier sponsorship program ($500 to $50,000/year) and the Annual Staffing Summit in Naples, Florida. The platform claims 77,000+ worker profiles, 300+ employer organizations, and 115,000+ job applications submitted.

Operationally, Seasonal Connect runs a sales-led and event-driven GTM motion, anchored by direct website sign-up, demo requests, and the annual Staffing Summit featuring presenting sponsors Pabian Law and Conn Maciel Carey LLP. Distribution is entirely U.S.-focused with no disclosed international expansion or venture funding, indicating a bootstrapped or modestly capitalized independent operator serving a defined niche of seasonal hospitality employers (private clubs, resorts, hotels, ski areas, restaurants, landscaping, and transportation businesses).

Core offering

Seasonal Connect operates a web-based two-sided platform that connects seasonal hospitality employers (clubs, resorts, hotels, ski areas, restaurants, landscaping) with American and international seasonal workers (H-2B and J-1 visa holders). The platform enables employer-to-employer "opposite-season" recruiting partnerships, worker database search, job postings, and integrates housing and transportation partner referrals (Extended Stay America, Lanyard, SnapStays, Commute with Enterprise). Subscription access is paid by employers per property, while workers access the platform for free.

Product overview

Seasonal Connect operates a unified web-based platform serving the seasonal hospitality industry with two primary user portals (Employer Portal and Worker Portal). The core platform provides database search functionality for matching seasonal employers with workers and enabling opposite-season recruiting partnerships. The platform architecture includes the core platform plus an events product (Annual Staffing Summit), four subscription tiers (Basic at $99, Advanced at $299, Premium at $499, and Enterprise with custom pricing), and complementary services facilitated through housing partners (SnapStays, Lanyard, Extended Stay America) and a transportation partner (Commute with Enterprise). A sponsorship program with four tiers (Event, Silver, Gold, Platinum) provides additional revenue stream. The platform is free for workers to use.

Scale indicators3 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Visapro: Service provider in the H-2B/J-1 visa ecosystem that supports Seasonal Connect's employer customers. Adjacent rather than competitive; useful as a peer because it shares the same customer base and visa-policy-driven demand signals.

Emerging players

• CoolWorks: Job board connecting workers with seasonal and adventure-based hospitality employers (resorts, national parks, ranches). Direct overlap in target worker persona and seasonal hospitality employer base, but a smaller, less diversified platform than Seasonal Connect.
• Seasonal Employment (seasonaljobs.com): Niche job board focused exclusively on seasonal roles across hospitality, summer camps, and resorts. Comparable to Seasonal Connect's vertical positioning but with a less developed community, partner ecosystem, and event-driven GTM.

Direct peers

• Snagajob: Largest U.S. marketplace for hourly and seasonal jobs, directly competing with Seasonal Connect in matching hospitality workers with employers. Both monetize employer subscriptions and serve seasonal staffing use cases; Snagajob operates at significantly larger scale but lacks Seasonal Connect's opposite-season partnership feature.
• Culinary Agents: Hospitality-focused job and talent platform with restaurant, hotel, and resort employers posting seasonal roles. Comparable to Seasonal Connect in audience and job-posting mechanics, particularly for premium hospitality employers such as clubs and resorts.
• Hcareers: Long-standing hospitality-and-hotels job board serving employers ranging from clubs to resorts. Closely comparable to Seasonal Connect's employer side, with overlapping customer base (hotels, resorts, clubs), though it lacks the opposite-season matching and worker-side community that Seasonal Connect emphasizes.
• Poached: Hospitality-specific job marketplace focused on restaurants and hotels, with a worker profile and employer-search model similar to Seasonal Connect's worker and employer portals. Both target the same seasonal hospitality employer segment and emphasize premium employer listings.

Broad incumbents

• ZipRecruiter: Publicly traded horizontal job marketplace with AI-driven matching serving SMB and enterprise employers. Overlaps with Seasonal Connect on the staffing/intermediation layer for hospitality employers but as a broad, multi-vertical platform rather than a niche.
• LinkedIn: Default professional networking and recruiting platform used by hospitality HR teams for seasonal hiring and H-1B/H-2B sponsor outreach. Competes indirectly for employer recruiter dollars and worker profile engagement.
• Indeed: Largest horizontal job marketplace in the U.S.; competes for the same seasonal hospitality staffing budgets via sponsored listings and recruiter tools. Lacks vertical specialization but dwarfs Seasonal Connect in scale, traffic, and employer mindshare.
