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.

Magician for housewarming party

$100

Moonee Ponds VIC 3039, Australia

7th Oct 2025

We are having a housewarming for approx 30 people and think a roving magician for 30-60 minutes might be a fun idea! Will be catering for mainly adults, so someone with a good sense of humour who can tailor to that crowd would be great. Timing flexible but thinking around 6-7pm.

Leonardo was incredible! He was a great communicator, was on time, and most of all his tricks had everyone scratching their head. He's got a great sense of humour too so was so entertaining all round. So many guests have asked me for his details!!

We will be self catering our housewarming for approx 30 people, and so we're looking for someone who can help with keeping the kitchen clean and tidy, washing up, ensuring clean glassware is available, any odd jobs etc. Unlikely to require and food handling/prep, but if so it'll be super simple and no experience necessary. Thinking 1-4pm ish. We have a big kitchen and butlers pantry so plenty of room to do the job. Thanks for reading!

Pragya was lovely and picked up very quickly what we were asking of her. She helped us with serving a lot of food in a short space of time and her ability to wash and clean up was second to none. The day went so much smoother thanks to her!
