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.

Photo Booth Attendant

$350

Melbourne CBD VIC 3000, Australia

11th Feb 2026

Hey all! I am recruiting on behalf of a Endless Moments Photobooths in Melbourne and I am looking for photo booth attendants (no previous experience required, however advantageous). We are involved in a range of events such as festivals, weddings, birthdays and brand activations. In order to be suitable for the role, you must have exceptional time management, bubbly and friendly personality, professional attire for events which require, enjoy liaising with guests, be available on Friday, Saturday + Sunday nights mostly and be familiar with a windows based computer. There are two types of attendants I am looking for - realistically I need more of Type 1. Type 1 - Set up, attend and pack up. This attendant will require their own car, pick up the photo booth equipment from Thornbury, drive to the event and then drop off the equipment on the same night or a later date. If you become a regular 'boother' you will most likely keep the booth and take it directly to events. Type 2 - I am not particularly looking for this type of attendant, however they are required sometimes. This type of attendant will arrive to the venue with the booth already set up and they will only have to stay at the event, then assist in packing up. A car is not required for this type of attendant, however all of skills mentioned in the opening paragraph are required. Once you have carefully read the above, please advise what type of attendant you suit and reply accordingly. We have a multi-time and muilti day event in the CBD Melbourne. Looking for both type 1 and 2 attendants for this event. 25/02 2pm – 4pm 26/02 10.30am – 12.30pm & 2pm – 4pm Pay is $40p/h for type 1

Birthday Event waiter/helper

$200

Fitzroy North VIC, Australia

21st Jan 2026

Hi there! I’m looking for a friendly, reliable waiter to help out at a relaxed birthday event so the host can actually enjoy the day. Sunday 8 Feb from 10am to 2pm This is a casual morning/early afternoon birthday with around 45 guests, arriving gradually rather than all at once. Most guests will be helping themselves, so this role is really about being an extra pair of hands. What you’ll be doing: • Topping up drinks • Providing clean glasses for new arrivals • Laying out pre-cooked food (no cooking required) • Light tidying / general help as needed Nothing formal or high-pressure — just helping the event flow smoothly. What I’m looking for: • Someone friendly, approachable, and proactive • Some experience in hospitality or event work • Comfortable in a relaxed, social environment • LGBTQIA+ friendly is an absolute must 🌈 • Happy to jump in and help where needed The vibe: Very casual, welcoming, and inclusive. This is not a stuffy waiter role — more “helpful legend who keeps things running.” If this sounds like you, I’d love to hear from you. Please tell me a bit about your experience and availability.

Vered was unbelievably helpful, truly helped my event run smoothly and I couldn’t recommend her higher. Truly, the best at what she does.

Run sausage sizzle at small business event on Tues, Jan 20

$100

Melbourne CBD VIC 3000, Australia

18th Jan 2026

We're running a small business event (20-40 people expected) for executives and business leaders which will include a sausage sizzle. The sausage sizzle will run from 1pm/1:30pm to 2pm and there's around 50-75 sausages max to cook + onions. The event prep will start at 11am so it would be great to coordinate with me and so you can be relaxed for time for preparation, then guests will arrive from 11:45am-12pm, and the BBQ will run as the presentation + Q&A ends from 1-2pm. The BBQ and all equipment/supplies are all provided. The BBQ is a steel hot plate (like a park). Nothing is required on your end except an apron, we'll have everything else (food, equipment, supplies, etc) - you're of course welcome to a snag + salad + drink for lunch as well.

Lani did an amazing job running the sausage sizzle and lunch element for our event, going above and beyond to make sure that the whole lunch aspect was well-time, prepared, and smooth before, during, and after. So glad to have met and worked with you Lani, thank you so much!

Present late night snack on platters and serve at my wedding

$150

Melbourne VIC, Australia

25th Nov 2025

We are getting married at a venue in the Melbourne CBD on 10th Jan 2026. We are organising about 100 KFC snack boxes to be delivered to the venue towards the end of the night as a ‘late night snack’ for the guests. We are looking for 1 person experienced in wedding coordination or hospitality who can receive the KFC delivery on the night, arrange the food onto platters so the bride and groom can serve them to guests on the dance floor. We also need the person to arrange the remaining boxes (that are not on platters) on a table for the guests to pick up themselves if they want. We hope that the people for this job can wear professional attire to match the formality of the night. The KFC should be delivered at about 9:45pm and the job should take no more than an hour.

Amazing work by Stuart- everything went off without a hitch thanks to his help!
