In this article, we’ll look at creating a Swim instructor application form to help swim schools streamline their recruiting and hiring processes to attract the best instructors in town.
We’ll discuss:
An online job application form should be kept simple:
Start by asking for basic information such as the applicants’s name, email, and phone number.
Add questions to understand their swimming background, such as:
Provide a place for applicants to upload relevant documents, such as a swim certification, cover letter & resume
Don’t forget to include space for any additional comments, work availability, and perhaps a question about why they’re excited to join your swim school.
A good application form should ask questions to understand an applicant’s background, swim level, and coaching experience.
Consider including these questions in your application form:
Activity Messenger helps speed up your recruiting process with instant notifications.
As soon as a candidate completes an application, you receive an email or text message notification.
This is incredibly valuable, especially during times of staffing shortages. It allows you to respond quickly to potential swim instructors who may be considering multiple opportunities.
📌 Pro Tip: As soon as an application lands in our inbox, we strive to reply within an hour whenever feasible. We’ve learned that the best applicants usually have several options and can get snapped up fast. In the competitive job market of today, being quick to respond not only sets us apart but also helps us attract the right talent. I discuss in more detail our strategy to attracting Gen-Z for part-time positions in this post
The most important lessons we’ve learned in the past few years is the importance of using SMS when reaching out to Gen Z candidates.
Direct engagement: Younger job seekers often prefer texting over email. It makes it easier to grab their attention.
Higher engagement: Switching to text messaging has led to a noticeable increase in the number of candidates who respond. Big win!
Faster recruitment: SMS helps us quickly reach out to potential hires, schedule interviews, and speed up the overall hiring process.
Improved Candidate Interaction: Initial conversations and interview scheduling via SMS tend to make the process smoother for candidates. (and for us!)
