The idea to create Ohmyseason was born from a meeting during a stay in the south of France. Together with her partner Pierre, who comes from the restaurant industry, Laura Krasniqi discovered an establishment facing recruitment challenges despite an attractive offer. " They were offering us the chance to work a season with accommodation, meals, and laundry included. For us, it was a fantastic opportunity, but they explained how difficult it was to find seasonal staff ,” she recounts.
As they delved deeper into the issue, the two entrepreneurs realized that the problem was far from isolated. " Like them, 70 to 80 % of establishments in the sector struggle to recruit ,” explains Laura Krasniqi. Among the main obstacles are housing, as well as the lack of solutions tailored to a job that adheres to different codes than traditional employment.
" A seasonal job is not just a job. You pack your suitcase and sometimes leave for two, three, or six months in another region. It’s an experience to be lived ,” emphasizes the co-founder.
With Ohmyseason, the goal is to make these jobs " easier, more accessible, more appealing, and above all, more secure .” The platform allows candidates to find all the essential information: net salary, housing conditions, work environment, and the possibility of coming as a couple or with a pet. " We want to empower candidates to truly know where they are going and under what conditions they will be working ,” specifies Laura Krasniqi.
On the company side, Ohmyseason assists with creating job postings, their distribution, and profile selection. The platform currently relies on a pool of over 200,000 talents, including 20 to 25 % international candidates.
For Laura Krasniqi, the image of seasonal work also needs to change. " We really see seasonal jobs as opportunities. Many people start without a diploma, not knowing exactly where they want to go, and then gradually evolve to become establishment managers ,” she explains.
The platform also attracts new profiles, particularly individuals undergoing career changes or seniors looking to explore a new area. " It’s a more mobile, more human profession that meets the new expectations of the labor market ,” concludes Laura Krasniqi.
