The bartender was well presented , friendly and very professional.

I need a bar tender to mix drinks for a 60th Birthday party.

$300

Damien recently made some fantastic margaritas, espresso martinis and cosmopolitans for a group of 22 girls for a friend’s hens party. Communication was great, Damien suggested cocktails and ingredients to buy, and was super professional, chilled, polite and accommodating for us all. Would recommend Damien for a mixologist at any event!

I could not recommend Rod more highly. He was an extremely effective communicator right from the start and fully committed himself to the task at hand. His commitment to being in character was phenomenal and all the guests raved about him during and after the party. Hard working and just a delight. We hope to have him at our parties again! Thank you Rod : )

I hired Rod for our annual company Halloween Party as the Mad Hatter and he was amazing! He went above and beyond for this - researching and studying the Mad Hatter’s character, memorising quotes and storylines etc. So many people throughout the night told me he was hilarious and an absolute blast. He was on time, energetic and outgoing, and just generally a lovely person. Would recommend Rod to anyone and would definitely hire him again.

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.
