INNOVATION IN STAFFING

Last week I had an exciting opportunity to present my company and services to the David Stark Design team. The theme of my presentation was Innovation, which I meditated on with my team. We have not invented staffing services; temp agencies make up a large portion of our city’s workforce and event staffing is a bi-product of that field. However, there are things that set us apart as a hospitality staffing agency.

INSURANCE. It is important for all vendors to be prepared for a Worst Case Scenario. Our clients feel way more comfortable when they find out that we are fully insured. Regardless of how many staff they book or what type of project we work on, our team is completely protected if an accident were to happen on-site.

HIRING. Sourcing talent is very important when it comes to hiring. Our talent represents various brands and also work at private residences. We have to be very selective. All of our talent come through three main sources: Promotional staff New York  referrals, model agencies and restaurateurs. Our HR department then interview the applicants and vet their skill level prior to training.

TRAINING. Even people who have years of experience are required to go through training with us. Training has two components: Catering 101 & Event Etiquette. We want to ensure that all staff are aware of our standards before they hit the floor. We understand that training does not end here; we have a carefully designated percentage of new staff on each event, so they can learn from the experienced majority. We also have Point People on each team, that lead our staff regardless of team size. At the end of the event, the team’s Point Person completes a thorough report on the skill level on each individual staff, so we can monitor their progress and develop skills of each individual. We do not staff bodies, we staff individuals.

We strive for innovation, even if it is incremental. We constantly re-examine our process in order to improve customer experience, staff development, and our company as a whole.

Choose Best Staffing for promotional Events

Events are different in nature and require different skills. Event is what type of staff you prefer booking. Explain what is an absolute must and what you can compromise on. If you are unsure, ask for advice. Ex. Many times we have a client tell us the exact number of staff that they need for an event. However, after we ask for details, it becomes obvious that a team of 7 staff is not enough for a 150 person sit down dinner.

Many clients initiate a conversation months in advance, but do not book the staff until the week of the event. Even though staffing agents are magicians, it is beneficial for all parties to do it sooner rather than later. It allows you time to rethink stuff, make changes, book preferred staff and SLEEP WELL because the essentials are taken care of.  You will find it especially stressful when there are unresolved staffing for events New York issues the day before an event. Several parties are always involved in solidifying change (including staff), and everyone is already racing the clock. Our advice is to book early and if you need to make changes or adjustments let your agency know and they will gladly help. Everyone wins.

Our roster is composed of actors, models and other creative types that rely on freelance work to supplement their income. Their schedules change within minutes. If you want to book 10 models, pick at least 3 alternatives so that you get the staff you like, even if your first option booked a last minute photo shoot in LA. If you are hiring for a promotional event, where it is important that Promotional models NYC have outgoing personalities, indicate the look that you prefer and let your agency do the selection. You can still see the models that are being booked for you, but you also get the staff that would be perfect for your event.

For every event: book a team leader. This is a person that guides the whole team from walking into the venue to leaving the venue. We suggest having a team lead even for small events. Unless you are a caterer, let your agency help you with assignments. They know the minimum number of staff needed for any event and the perfect number of staff. Ex. not everybody remembers that sanitation crews are needed for events with food, so it is good to get advice about the types of staff needed. Unless you want to deal with dirty dishes yourself.

This is the most obvious, but at the same time the most important piece of advice. Saving money is always good, but it is also important that you work with professionals. Here are the things you need to consider while shopping for the agency: find out their hourly rates, ask about additional fees, pay attention to how fast the agency replies to you; events are organic in nature so you should find someone you feel comfortable with, see if they are willing to work with you before you hand them your credit card.
