Businesses are looking for seasonal workers for the summer, and according to accommodation and catering companies in Pärnu, finding staff this year should not be a problem, as there is enough labor available on the market. The city of Pärnu is preparing to welcome tourists two weeks earlier than usual.

According to Pärnu’s catering and accommodation businesses, the search for seasonal workers is either underway or already nearing completion. Business owners say that finding summer staff has been relatively easy this year, as there are plenty of applicants.

“The process is already ongoing and is mostly in its final stages. Since our core team is quite stable and in place, we recruit seasonal workers every spring. At this point, we are largely ready,” said Romet Rahnu, head of sales at Hedon Spa.

Hedon plans to increase its workforce by about a third for the summer, with the greatest need for restaurant and cleaning staff as well as cooks.

Cafe Supelsaksad hires between 20 and 30 percent more employees for the summer, depending on the year, and many workers return for multiple summers.
