Events & Exhibitions

Event Teams Ready for Show Day

Events have fixed dates and no margin for no-shows. Recruitment has to be organised early.

Event Staff Recruitment

The UAE hosts a busy calendar of exhibitions, conferences, sporting events, concerts and corporate functions. Event organisers, venues and caterers need hosts, ushers, registration staff, F&B servers, cleaners, security and setup crew for defined periods.

We recruit event staff for temporary and seasonal requirements, sourcing from the UAE and our Kenya operation for longer seasonal engagements. We confirm the event dates, roles and headcount up front and screen candidates for presentation, communication and reliability.
