Staffbooker Frequently Asked Questions
|
What is Staffbooker?
Staffbooker provides a safe ground for our members to group together and promote themselves through various special features that are only available on this ground-breaking service.
We offer a free comprehensive staff directory of diverse staff members to any company within the UK. This free membership status is not a special offer, this is simply how we work, free booker membership which ultimately benefits our members.
We are similar to an agency but we do not deduct any type of booking fee from our members wage, this means our members receive every penny that is offered to them.

What are the rates of pay?
A typical daily rate for a standard eight hours is anywhere between £70-£160 depending on the job role and booker.
When not booked through recognised PR and Marketing companies, your wage offer will reflect the level of information displayed in your profile. See the Staffbooker wage guide for more information.
N.B. You may receive your payment well over a month after completion of the work. Staffbooker has no control over this. Your contract is between you and the booker therefore it will follow that you are bound by their terms and condition.
How much does it cost to register as a staff member?
It is FREE to open a Staffbooker account and create a profile which will appear in booker search results. Many other services charge for this privilege and we even provide you with the ability to activate your Staffbooker Web Page. You can upgrade your membership to ‘Full status’ which enables you to receive in house messages, view and post topics on the message board, gain access to the Agency Directory, vote and view the results of the Agency Chart and much more.
Our full membership works out at just £6.25 for each six months and barely covers the cost of the necessary memory space required to host all of your information.
Will I definitely get work?
Staffbooker does not employ you. We provide all bookers/agencies with a comprehensive search facility to assist them in finding the right people for the job/campaign. We are a resource/directory of available staff which puts you in direct contact with the bookers.
How can I improve my chances of work?
It is very important to understand that Staffbooker encourages companies to offer wages which reflect the information provided in a profile, therefore it is essential to keep your profile up to date.
We can only promote you if you are willing to help promote yourself and your profile should contain at least one recent picture before we can present it to any prospective employer.
We then suggest you register to as many agencies as possible. Start by registering to the ones displayed on the Agency Chart which our members have recommended.
Don’t forget to activate your Staffbooker Web Page and include this information when completing their registration process.
For a full and up to date listing of real agencies, go to the Agency Directory.
A useful tip to raise your profile above others: The Organiser displays your availability and any job details logged here will form your Industry C.V. which provides any booker with the confidence to book a staff member not already known to them. It is noticeable that the majority of bookings already made through our system have been offered to those staff members with a detailed Industry CV.
How will I be contacted?
You will be contacted the following ways:
- An in house message
- A phone call
- A text message
- An email
- A letter
How old do I need to be to join Staffbooker?
You must be 16 years old, plus.
I am already a model, can I still join Staffbooker?
Yes. Staffbooker is not an agency therefore your current agent should not be concerned about you opening a Staffbooker account.
