The challenge
Like many private clubs, Seattle Yacht Club had no recruiters, and one HR Manager. Recruiting responsibilities became so time consuming that Clara Jones, Human Resources Manager, didn’t have time to focus on other aspects of her role (compensation, onboarding, benefits, etc)
They were facing:
- High seasonal and event-driven labor demand
- Time-consuming screening and scheduling
- Interview no-shows and inconsistent applicants
- Reliance on job boards with poor returns
- Risk of understaffing impacting the member experience
The solution
Seattle Yacht Club turned to Instawork because they needed real people who show up — not more resumes.
They chose Instawork for:
- Pre-vetted, skills-verified talent
- A single partner for all labor: temp, temp-to-perm, and permanent hiring
- A pay-per-interview model instead of paying for job ads (quality > volume)
- Instawork’s ability to fully own the top of the hiring funnel
The result
- Speed: Roles filled in days instead of weeks - Averaged less than 5 days time to offer!
- Reliability: Significant reduction in interview no-shows - >90% show-up rate
- Quality: Managers moved to offer on almost 50% of all interviewees
Seattle Yacht Club only paid for real, completed interviews — not job posts or clicks. All with the convenient feel of a concierge managing the sourcing, screening, and scheduling for them.
Looking ahead
Seattle Yacht Club is expanding its partnership with Instawork to support future peak seasons, events, and additional departments — creating a long-term workforce strategy.
