Event Planners - DO NOTs part II

As promised, here’s part II of our new series: DO NOTs for Event Planners. This time we would like to discuss the importance of interviewing the staff.

Not Interviewing Staff:
The interview is the most important part of the booking process because if you don't interview the staff, you don't know if they are experienced or have the energy required for your event. Doing so will help you determine whether their credentials and experience level are an ideal fit for your company and client/brand. event staffing agencies NYC are very flexible, so you can ask to train/interview the staff before the event date. Most likely there will be a cost to it, but the end result will be much better.

We hope you enjoy our DO NOTs series and we will be in touch soon.

Event Planners - DO NOTs part I

We are launching a new series of DO NOTs for Event Planners. The purpose of this is to help event planners, caterers and staffing agencies to improve their booking / planning process. The first DO NOT that we would like to discuss is taking too long to book.

DO NOT take too long to book
One of the mistakes event planners tend to make when hiring Event Staffing NYC is taking too long to make a decision. While event staff understands that a lot goes into planning and executing an event, they also have their own personal schedules and might no longer be available when you decide to proceed. Most of event staff are freelancers and they work for several agencies, some are  promotional models NYC actors and dancers, their schedules can change within hours every day, so make sure you reserve the best, and most experienced, staff for your event by booking as soon as you can.

We hope you enjoy it and look out for upcoming DO NOTs for Event Planners.

WHY YOU SHOULD BE KIND AT WORK

The way we communicate often impacts other people’s behavior. The more you become an empathetic and intelligent communicator, the more people will allow you to obtain power and influence. You have to treat somebody well to create a favorable situation with the person you want to be your business relation. When you give somebody something, this person will in most cases feel obligated to repay your service. The moment you help another person, or do that person a favour, your brain releases the transmitter substance Dopamine, a substance that is released when you do something that is related to a sense of well-being. So helping others is a win-win situation, for you and the person who has a positive experience.

There’re 3 easy ways to be kind and “influence” people:
1 - Smile. Just the simple act of smiling can make you seem, and feel, like a nicer person. Whether you're smiling at strangers or people you know, it will also encourage people to smile back at you.
2 - Use people's names. People who you just meet love it when you use their names during or at the end of the conversation. Even if you only say that person's name once or twice, the person will feel special and like you're paying attention to him or her.

3 - Be polite. You should be just as polite to strangers as you would be to your family members. That stranger you see at the coffee shop might be lonely, and you may be the only one they have talked to that day. Even if you're having a bad day, take the time to say "excuse me," to hold doors for people, and to treat people with a basic level of respect.

Don’t forget to remind people how great they are. Single out people in your life, from the workplace to home. So few of us take the time to acknowledge the people in our lives whom we take for granted that when someone does validate us in this way, it comes as a totally sweet surprise and is so out of the ordinary that it is remembered. It's also a very genuine way of establishing affinity with people, and maintaining goodwill.

STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD

Do things differently, find new ways to stand out from the crowd. We all know that it’s not easy to take the first step, and this might sound cliche, but the first move is the hardest. Same when you're simply writing a blog post, you must start from something and the first paragraph is always more difficult.

A life change needs to start for a reason, if you’re looking for a change, there’s a reason behind it. So here comes the brainstorm . Brainstorm is a process for generating new ideas. All the ideas are noted down and you analyze your options. You must decide what's the reason you need a change, what will actually change in your life and what are the steps you should take to make it happen. Be prepared to voice your differences, your concerns, and your preferences. When talking, it is important to come across as self-assured and knowledgeable, so be sure to have done your research and know your facts beforehand.

Take a risk and work hard. Many people won’t take up the challenge because they are afraid of failure. Only those who are willing to take risks and to work hard at their dreams who eventually break through and succeed.

Last but not least, remind people how great they are. Single out people in your life, from the workplace to home, to remind them how great they are. So few of us take the time to acknowledge the people in our lives whom we take for granted that when someone does validate us in this way, it comes as a totally sweet surprise and is so out of the ordinary that it gets remembered. It's also a very genuine way of establishing affinity with people, and maintaining goodwill.

Hospitality vs Clerical Staffing

For a staffing company interviewing new candidates is a routine. We have anywhere from 5 to 10 people apply for bartending, serving and modeling positions and schedule interviews on daily basis. Our interview process consists of several steps: general introductory discussion, catering & bartending tests, and behavioral questions. This process allows us to hire best of the best and then train them to our standards.

Depending on needs, staffing company provides the most experienced servers, event bartenders nyc, tray pass, greeters, coat check, hostesses, Brand Ambassadors nyc  and captains. Whether you are hosting a private party or a high-profile fundraiser, our professional wait-staff ensures your event flows smoothly from beginning to end.

Many times our clients are so happy with the quality of our staff that they reach out to see if we can help them fill in clerical positions. Even though our interviewing process is complex it is meant for hiring hospitality staff, not clerical workers. When we have a clerical position available in our office, we never hire anyone just because we know they are great on the floor. We have a separate interview process that allows us to determine whether or not the candidate will be good for an office environment. This is why we do not feel comfortable to just refer our staff to our clients and if they need our help filling in a clerical position we conduct interviews keeping in mind the specifications for that particular position.

We believe that every role within the company is important and we strive to determine who will be the best fit.

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.
