The idea to create Ohmyseason came about during a trip to the south of France. Together with her partner Pierre, who comes from the restaurant industry, Laura Krasniqi discovered an establishment struggling to recruit despite offering attractive conditions. "They were offering us a chance to work a season with accommodation, meals, and laundry provided. 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 face recruitment challenges", explains Laura Krasniqi. Among the main obstacles are housing, as well as the lack of solutions tailored to a job that follows 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 to 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 attractive, and above all, more secure". The platform allows candidates to find all the essential information: net salary, housing conditions, work environment, and the possibility to come 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 in creating job postings, their distribution, and profile selection. The platform currently relies on a pool of over 200,000 talents, of which 20 to 25% are 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, including individuals undergoing career changes or seniors looking to explore a new area. "It’s a more mobile, more human profession that aligns with the new expectations of the job market", concludes Laura Krasniqi.
