CoolWorks
CoolWorks is a job board for seasonal work in outdoor destinations. The employers listed on it include ski resorts, national park lodges, guest ranches, outdoor science schools, cruise lines and a mountain transit authority, and openings can be browsed by category, state, season or national park.
Employers pay to list and job seekers apply free. Each employer gets a profile carrying its own pitch, location and current openings, and featured employers appear on the homepage with a headline offer, such as free on-site housing or a signing bonus. CoolWorks notes that many of the jobs it carries include room and board.
The site has run since 1995 and holds the registered mark Jobs In Great Places. Its mailing address is in Denver, Colorado. Alongside listings it publishes a job seeker's guide, first-person journals from seasonal workers and a newsletter, the CoolWorks Compass.
Posting prices and listing terms are not visible: the post-a-job, FAQ and about pages were behind a bot check when crawled. Ask CoolWorks for its current employer rate card and the length of a standard listing.
Best for
Campground, RV resort and park operators hiring seasonal staff who will relocate for the season, particularly where housing is offered. Employers needing year-round local hires will get less out of it.
