Summer in Hollywood, Florida feels electric the moment school lets out and the beaches begin to buzz with visitors. The boardwalk fills with cyclists and joggers before sunrise, cruise passengers explore downtown shops between sailings, and local festivals appear on nearly every weekend calendar. Behind the laid-back atmosphere lies an unmistakable reality for employers: demand escalates quickly, and short-term staffing gaps can turn mild pressure into lost revenue or strained service standards. GL Staffing helps Hollywood businesses bridge this gap by delivering flexible, well-screened temporary workers who keep operations running smoothly throughout the hottest months of the year.
The Summer Surge in Hollywood’s Key Industries
Hollywood’s economy draws strength from three interconnected sectors that all swell between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Hospitality and tourism come first, driven by oceanfront resorts on A1A, boutique hotels near Young Circle, and vibrant dining districts along Hollywood Boulevard. Each property must scale housekeeping teams, food-and-beverage crews, and guest-services desks so visitors meet consistent quality from check-in through check-out.
Just a few miles west, Port Everglades and surrounding logistics corridors feel a corresponding uptick. Cruise provisioning schedules accelerate, imported consumer goods flow through local warehouses, and temperature-controlled facilities move perishables to distribution trucks that head up I-95 before afternoon thunderstorms roll in. Staffing coordinators who handle these warehouses know that an absent forklift driver or order selector stalls an entire outbound load.
Retail and entertainment venues form the third pillar. From national chains at Oakwood Plaza to independent shops near the Hollywood Train Station, sales volumes climb with tourist traffic and local summer promotions. Managers must schedule extra associates for extended store hours, while ticket booths at arts centers and live-music venues add window clerks and ushers to greet larger audiences.Balancing so many moving pieces with only permanent staff often leads to burnout or expensive overtime. Temporary staffing offers a strategic alternative: the workforce expands when customer counts climb, then contracts once schools reopen and beach crowds thin.
- Hospitality and Tourism: Oceanfront resorts, boutique hotels, and restaurants require expanded teams for housekeeping, food service, and guest support.
- Logistics: Port Everglades and regional warehouses accelerate freight, needing reliable forklift drivers, inventory staff, and order selectors.
- Retail and Entertainment: Stores and venues scale up floor staff, stockroom crews, and event personnel to meet summer traffic and promotions.
Why GL Staffing Fits Hollywood’s Labor Landscape
GL Staffing was founded in South Florida, and Broward County remains our operational heart. That local foundation matters for three reasons. First, it allows us to cultivate continuous relationships with workers who prefer seasonal assignments close to home. Second, we stay current on market wages, commuting patterns, and cultural expectations specific to Hollywood’s diverse population. Third, we maintain a rapid-response recruiting team that can visit a client site the same day an urgent request arrives.
Our vetting process reflects both legal compliance and day-to-day practicality. Every candidate completes federal- and state-level background checks, employment-eligibility verification, and, when relevant, drug screening. Skills assessments confirm forklift certification, point-of-sale proficiency, reservation-software familiarity, or housekeeping productivity benchmarks before placement occurs. Clients receive workers who step onto the job fully prepared, not trainees who need lengthy orientation.
Flexibility sits at the core of our summer program. A waterfront hotel might request five banquet servers for a single long weekend, while a regional cold-storage warehouse schedules forty pallet jack operators in staggered shifts for the entire quarter. We customize contract length, shift structure, and headcount to meet those distinct profiles. Because GL Staffing remains the employer of record, we also absorb payroll taxes, workers’ compensation coverage, and time-tracking audits, which frees your internal team to focus on guest satisfaction and throughput metrics.

Local Coverage That Matches Your Footprint
Hollywood’s geography spreads from Federal Highway to the Turnpike, intersected by corridors such as Sheridan Street, Stirling Road, and Pembroke Road. GL Staffing recruits within that same radius, maintaining candidate meeting points near Tri-Rail stops and Broward County Transit hubs. As a result, workers arrive on shift even when beach traffic or tropical downpours slow major arteries. Whether your operation sits in the Port-side commerce park, a boutique lodging house on Surf Road, or a fulfillment center off Griffin Road, we can staff it promptly.
The Business Case for Summer Temp Staffing
Short-term staffing protects service standards while allowing payroll flexibility. Hotels avoid negative guest reviews, logistics companies meet delivery deadlines, and retailers maintain showroom quality.
- Financial Flexibility: Labor expenses scale up or down with demand.
- Risk Control: We ensure OSHA compliance, wage law adherence, and E-Verify updates.
- Ease of Adjustment: Extend contracts or cut shifts with minimal disruption.
