Employer Testimonials
Here are just a few of the first hand accounts from employers who participated in our first American season this past summer.
Beth Colt, owner
Woods Hole Inn, Treehouse Lodge, and Quicks Hole Tavern & Taqueria in Cape Cod
“We at Woods Hole Inn are committed to continuing to recruit American citizens to seasonal Cape Cod jobs. We are excited by our new partnership with Mobilize and Ben Guth, and looking forward to seeing if his research and connections can identify new hiring sources for us. The greatest limitation we face as an organization is the intense shortage of seasonal labor in our region, so we are committed to exploring this interesting new business model.”
“We used Mobilize this summer (2018) to place a few kitchen staffers for me for the high season, and I am hopeful that this new model might replace the H2B program for me in the future. Our partnership was a big success and the Mobilizers had very high reviews. They stayed until the end of the contract and we would love to have them back.”
Chris Hohmann, owner
A-A Island Auto Rental in Martha’s Vineyard
“In the past, we have relied on foreign workers on J1 Visas. This was effective for us for a long time, but recent changes in immigration policy have made it more difficult to do so. Finding American workers also posed some challenges, as we were competing with other island companies that were able to offer more financially to workers. We chose Mobilize to partner with because they are able to do a lot of the leg work for us and have access to a far larger pool of candidates. We were also attracted to the entire onboarding process (at Mobilize Jobs), as an additional challenge we often dealt with is not having enough time to properly train new employees before the season began. Having some of that work completed for us before the Mobilizers arrive is particularly enticing.”
Wendy K. Northcross, CEO
Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce
“As soon as we heard about the Mobilize Jobs program, we knew this could be the answer for many of Cape Cod’s employers. This creative approach to matching seasonal work opportunities with travel and learning experiences is a perfect solution for our region’s peak summer business needs!”
