Staff Screening
At RVR, we place the highest priority on finding the best quality and caring staff to be positive role models for your children.
Each year RVR reviews more than 500 applicants in order to hire 130 summer staff members. This includes our efforts to identify and retain the best and brightest staff from year to year. Our high review-to-hire ratio allows us to be extremely selective with our hiring process which is a follows:
 |
Application:Our Staff Application is extensive and asks for pertinent information to help screen out applicants that do not complement our culture. Each application is evaluated for red flags by our staffing coordinator. |
 |
Interview:All potential hires go through a 45-minute face-to-face or phone interview with one of our trained interviewers. Interviews include open-ended response questions regarding family issues, personality, relationship with God, history of substance abuse, etc. |
 |
References:Every applicant must have a minimum of two references from non-family members in order to be considered for hire. References are asked to specifically rate areas such as the applicant's character, their employment experience, and the comfort level of the reference in having the applicant work with children. Applicants that receive below average ratings are automatically tagged for review by our hiring staff. |
