Frequently asked questions

Agencies posting a job alert through Stuck For Staff typically reach matching staff within minutes of admin approval. For urgent gaps, agencies can also search the live profile database by location and availability and contact staff directly.

What experience do event staff need? +

Requirements vary by role. Hospitality and bar work often require a personal licence or prior experience. Brand activations and festival crew usually emphasise reliability, presentation and a professional manner. Each job alert lists the specific requirements.
