4 Traits to Look for in an Event Staff Member

It can be extremely difficult to find quality workers for your events, but the more you know about what to look for in event staff, the easier the hiring process will be. In this section, we’ll share with you four traits to look for in an event staff member.

Sufficient Experience

First and foremost, you should look for workers who have experience in their desired job function. For instance, if you need to hire food prep staff, you should hire people who have prior experience prepping food for an event. This is not to imply that you should always turn away candidates that don’t have extensive experience. However, in most cases, the more direct experience a candidate has, the better they do.

Punctuality

One of the biggest pet peeves of event goers is when an event doesn’t start on time. In order to guarantee timely events, you’ll need staff that are punctual. When you’re screening candidates, ask questions to gauge whether they have the ability and willingness to be on time.

Customer Service Mindset

Customer service is at the core of any event staff job. Therefore, any worker you add to your event staff team should know the importance of keeping guests happy. A worker who speaks highly of guests and is driven by the guests’ overall experience will likely do well.

Ability to Work as Part of a Team

The event staff must work as a team to prepare for an event. Therefore, you should favor candidates who work well as part of a team, or who have a welcoming personality. People who like to keep to themselves may have a hard time working as part of a team, which could lead to a negative event outcome.

We hope that these tips are helpful to you during the hiring process.
