Event work at concerts, trade fairs, weddings and corporate functions.
On StaffLink, finding event jobs and finding event staff happen in the same app: hosts, servers and set-up crew apply for daily/extra and project-based listings; event companies build a team for each event, create urgent staffing requests and track shifts and check-ins.
Event work is usually one-day or short projects. Concerts, trade fairs, launches, weddings and corporate meetings need welcome, service, set-up and tear-down and coordination staff. Demand peaks at weekends and in event season.
Highlights for workers

A different venue, team and audience at every event.

Every event means a different venue and team; hours mostly fall on evenings and weekends.
