Case Study: Galileo Learning achieves rapid hiring of 2,800 seasonal camp counselors with iCIMS

How to Do High-Volume Seasonal Hiring Right

Galileo Learning, founded in 2002, runs more than 70 summer camps across the Bay Area, Los Angeles and Chicago and must hire over 2,800 counselors, instructors and coordinators each season. The company’s core challenge is recruiting and onboarding a large, qualified seasonal workforce in a very short timeframe to ensure camps open and operate on schedule.

Since 2009 Galileo has used iCIMS Connect as part of its recruiting suite to build and maintain a year‑round talent pipeline, capture candidates at career fairs, engage prospects with targeted communications, and match internal referrals to open roles. The platform allowed Galileo to source and prioritize qualified candidates at scale, track sourcing ROI, and manage complex seasonal hiring more quickly and efficiently so it can staff each season on time.
