PLEASE NOTE: EACH AND EVERY PERMANENT STAFF MEMBER OF CHOICE EVENT STAFFING HAS EXPERIENCE WORKING IN EVERY SINGLE JOB POSSIBLE AT AN EVENT—FROM BAG STUFFING, TO WAYFINDING, TO WORKING IN THE PRESS OFFICE, AND BEYOND.
We staff events as a casting director works in casting a film. The people we send to a drag convention are not necessarily the same staff we would send to a corporate event.
When we receive a schedule we immediately begin filling the orders, and we staff by committee. We have a group staff meeting, and we staff the event as if we were casting people for a major motion picture. This means that we go through each assignment & choose the temp best suited to each role, from the parts that require people who can handle a great deal of responsibility, down to the people who may simply be scanning or giving directions. We send out their schedules, and a briefing if we have one. We confirm their assignments and then a week before their job actually begins, we call and confirm them once more.
Our group does nothing else but events. Therefore, our staff, which consists mostly of theater people, and professional staff, go from one event to another. They are experienced, personable, possess a great attitude and are very proactive.
Our permanent staff is blessed with an uncanny ability to select and manage events. They have excellent problem solving abilities, great people skills, ‘uncommon sense,’ and the intelligence to multi-task. Most importantly, they do not panic if / and when things go awry.
