Who we are: We’re the West Michigan Whitecaps, Class High-A Minor League affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. The Whitecaps are in the FUN business and our mission is to provide affordable family entertainment that strengthens the West Michigan community. We create memorable experiences by offering a fun, friendly and inclusive environment.

Why we want you: You’re an enthusiastic, outgoing people person with prior experience recruiting (ideally, a lot of people at once). You're passionate about the employee experience, are a stellar organizer, and get along well with a wide variety of people. You love collaboration, meeting new people, and consider yourself a great communicator. You work hard and play nice, and appreciate a good joke.

Why you want to work here: When you join our team, you become a part of our culture and our story – we’re small enough that you’ll have an ability to put your stamp on things. We’ve got an all-hands-on-deck mentality and pitch in when something needs done. We work very hard but we don’t take ourselves too seriously; we realize how important things like office darts and puppy visits and staff happy hours are. Plus, besides the typical benefits, you also get generous paid time off, free baseball tickets (your friends will love you!), paid volunteer time, a free health club membership, and opportunities to get discounted or free tickets to various shows and events in Michigan. We were just awarded the honor of being one of both West Michigan’s and the Nation's Best & Brightest Employers to work for, for the second year in a row. We’re also pretty great people to work with.

What you’ll do: As a member of our newly renamed People Operations department, you’ll serve as the primary human resources contact for Whitecaps seasonal gameday staff and will manage the full employee life cycle of the gameday employees as a whole. You'll work with various members of our awesome management team to recruit, onboard, and train seasonal employees, schedule employees according to departmental needs, and ensure that the organization is in compliance with local, state, and federal labor law guidelines. You'll attend job fairs, baseball games, and other Whitecaps events. You will oversee 2 assistants (one here and one in Traverse City, as we also own the Pit Spitters) -- and have a lot of fun doing it.

What you need: Terrific customer service (think of our seasonal employees as your customers!), excellent communication skills and an enthusiasm for sharing your excitement for the Whitecaps brand. The ability to multitask, organize, and adjust to changing schedules. Prior experience in Human Resources is required; experience with recruiting a non-exempt workforce is preferred. Flexibility, since every day here is different. You’ll need a willingness to work a lot of nights, holidays and weekends, and the availability to travel occasionally to Traverse City.

Let’s do this: If you’re ready to apply, we look forward to getting to know you. Submit your resume and drop us a cover letter letting us know why you’d be a good fit. We’ll be in touch!
