Connecting Lake Erie’s coastal businesses with reliable, high-energy college students for the summer season.
Lake Erie rootsBuilt for the coast
We grew up on the lake and have spent every summer there since. We’ve seen what makes our coastal communities thrive: vibrant local businesses and unforgettable summers. We also know the challenge shore businesses face each year when peak season hits and staffing runs thin.
We founded Staff the Shore to bridge that gap. We recruit driven college students from across the country to live, work and grow along Lake Erie, so our shoreline economy flourishes and students get meaningful summer work.
Reliable talent for your peak season
For a coastal business, summer makes or breaks the year. We place students with restaurants and bars, resorts and hotels, marinas, shops, pools and attractions along the Lake Erie shore.
Vetted, high-energy talent
Every student has a video interview with us before you meet them. Background, driving record and drug checks are available when a role calls for them.
Local insight
We grew up here. We know the flow of Lake Erie’s seasonal rush and match students to what your business actually needs.
Hiring off your plate
We handle recruiting and screening so you can focus on getting ready for opening day.
Simple, local, effective
Three steps from your first email to a fully staffed season.

We recruit and screen college students who fit your team and your dates. Choose how much we handle:
