What do staffing services include?

Staffing services help you fill in the roles needed in your team, at least temporarily. With their suitable skills and experience, they can assist you with delivering the tasks you need to fulfil. Whether you need someone to be part of your wait staff, marketing staff, or customer service team, recruiting the best manpower resources available even at the last minute is crucial to keep your business running. 

Hospitality staffing

Running a hospitality business can be overwhelming, especially on a busy day or during a special event. In these situations, hiring a short-term barista, bartender, chef, concierge, or duty manager can keep your business running smoothly. They can be added manpower to help your entire team deliver the best service, or they can also be convenient replacements if you have key staff members calling in sick or needing a day off work. Having them on board can help you focus on important tasks while keeping your guests well-fed and entertained.

Admin staffing

Filing, planning, and data entry are additional workloads that can keep you constantly caught up. Getting help with admin tasks can take a load off your shoulders and free up your time so you can dedicate your energy to focusing on your primary duties. Whether you need a last-minute executive assistant, receptionist, or a data entry specialist to help you temporarily, hiring qualified ones can help grow your business efficiently, without paper jams, unanswered calls, and other kinds of chaos!

Marketing staffing

Hiring short-term marketing staff can help get your message across! Depending on the product or service you offer, your Tasker can approach your potential customers with offers, promotions, tasters, freebies, and other incentives to encourage them to engage with your business. They can also come up with marketing materials to help your business be known in your desired area. Sending out emails, making cold calls, and interacting with your customers can also be a part of their job.

Healthcare staffing

Outsourcing temporary physicians and nurses can help your business grow. They take care of your employees physically and mentally because healthy members of a team only mean continued success for your business. They can hold medical checkups and consultations for your organisation to ensure that your employees are in tip-top shape. It’s also highly crucial to have healthcare staff if running an office, clinic, school, church, or other institution.

Bartender to make cocktails at 30th Birthday for 2 hours

$90

Thornbury VIC 3071, Australia

2nd Jul 2025

I’m needing 1x bartender to make a small variety of cocktails for a 30th Birthday from 4:30-6:30PM for approx 25 guests. All alcohol will be provided but I would also appreciate insight into how much and what types I will need for the cocktails. I’m looking for the bartender to be able to make 3 different cocktails and 1 mocktail, as well as serving wine and a clean of glassware at the end of service. We should be able to provide our own glassware but if you would be able to offer to BYO glassware that could be helpful. Thank you!

Caitlin was super punctual and efficient which I appreciated. The feedback I had from guests were the drinks were not the best. We did prep sugar syrup for the cocktails which wasn’t touched, so not sure if it was forgotten or maybe she was unaware it was there. Caitlin was very focused on getting drinks out as quickly as possible which was great, but wasn’t interested in chatting with guests when people were trying to make conversation.
