I’m looking to hire a company that can man the check-in tables at an award event and help with seating. Suggestions?
Often, check-in and registration staffers come from an event venue, or the PR or production company involved in the event. If all you really want are staffers to fill that role, dedicated staffing companies are your best bet. Metropolitan Hospitality trains people to meet those requests, and typically sends about 25 people to check in a 1,000-guest event, or a cap of 45 for the registration area at a big trade show. Adecco Hospitality has a large roster of check-in-ready staffers. You can also try CTI Staffing, Choice Hospitality, or the brand-new staffing company Extrahands. You can also look to PR firms. “[Check-in only] is a rare request, because it’s not such a difficult job—but we would definitely do it,” says Susan Blond Inc. associate vice president Elizabeth Rosenthal. There’s a bit of a hierarchy involved: The most junior members of the Blond team are assigned to guest check-in, whereas more senior members man the press check-in tables.
