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.

Serve beverages including alcohol at my party

$150

Kingston ACT, Australia

6th Nov 2025

attend 5pm -8pm. Neatly dressed. (Black pants white shirt if you've got it, not essential, plus a warm layer as the bar will be on the balcony) Orientation and briefing first. Collaborate with another Airtasker who will do the food. Guests arrive 5.30pm; Tasks: operate the bar, mainly champagne, you will need to open a lot of bottles fast at the beginning, also non-alcoholic options. Speeches and toast 6:20-6:30pm. Circulate with Champagne bottles to make sure everyone's glasses are charged for the toast. Some guests have mobility problems and won't be able to come to the bar themselves. Tidy up as we go, collect rubbish, & empty bottles to a re-cycling box. I think I have enough glasses but it MAY be required to hand wash a few during the evening. Guests about 25 mainly older people, celebration, happy occasion.

Dennis is a lovely guy who ran the bar in a personable and efficient way. He really made the party work smoothly. I can recommend him!
