CLIENTS
HEAR WHAT OUR
CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
“Recruiting in the residential camp environment is tricky. CampHire gets it. They have an uncanny ability to source passive candidates that aren't necessarily actively job searching.”
THE HIRE
Eric Brown brought BMX credentials and camp leadership to Woodward East. Terrence Stillin-Rooney brought operations expertise and action sports credibility to Woodward West. Both made an immediate impact, and stepped in ready to lead.
“CampHire made everything as simple as possible. They understood what we were looking for, found us the proper candidate, and helped guide both parties through the hiring process.”
THE HIRE
Alena Marsh brought experience and expertise from a national day camp company. Months into the role, she and the Camp Director called CampHire together just to say “thank you”. The fit was so right that months later, she’s already looking for homes closer to camp.

“The CampHire team was highly collaborative, communicative, and made the entire process easy. It truly felt like having an internal partner driving the search from start to finish. Our hire is an absolutely perfect fit for what we needed.”
THE HIRE
A seasoned operations leader, Scott Hicok had the business acumen and leadership style Got Games Sports needed. His organizational structure and hands-on approach freed Coach K to focus on growth and expansion.

THE HIRE
