The Staffbooker direction revealed
To put the record straight:
Staffbooker has never advertised this industry in the student media as a way of fast tracking a nationwide database.
Staffbooker has not organised open days across the UK which would effectively introduce this industry to anybody and everybody, even though we have a system in place to distinguish those staff members with a professional approach from those clearly less suited to this industry.
Staffbooker will never sacrifice quality over quantity and if we ever did use these forms of advertising in the future our system would not leave everybody fighting for the same work which would ultimately set lower wage offers.
Instead and during our first year, the Staffbooker team have visited hundreds of venues across the UK in search for the very best staff members already working within the industry.
We welcome newcomers which is why the only other form of advertising we have done is by working closely with a number of talent scouts that have only approached obvious candidates for this industry.
We believe these two examples of advertising are a far better way than to open the flood gates by introducing this industry to anybody and everybody and the end result is reflected in the quality of our database.
So why exactly is Staffbooker so different?
Staffbooker is here to work on behalf of the staff member and we provide free Gold level Booker accounts to all recognised marketing and PR companies within the UK.
This is not a special offer. This is quite simply how it should be, free access to ultimately benefit our members.
Our free staff member account level will list your profile in search results for Gold level Bookers to view and contact you accordingly.
This means Staffbooker is providing a service for which some other websites would charge.
Our system has been specifically designed to raise the profile of the genuine and committed staff members, leaving the lower paid work for others to fight over.
Some other websites concentrate on attracting vast amounts of people to their database without providing a system like ours which highlights the experience of staff and their skills and abilities.
This means that everybody on those types of databases are categorised to be of the same standard, therefore they may be content to receive daily wage offers of around £70.
Staffbooker is the first and only website available that assists all staff members by helping then to self promote through our unique features, essentially placing you in touch with clients willing to pay the rates shown on the Staffbooker wage guide.
As word of the true Staffbooker direction gathers pace, to our surprise and without any form of advertising, we find ourselves in a very unusual position where many of the reputable agencies have contacted us directly to enquire as to how they can open a Staffbooker account.
It appears that they recognise the positive stance the Staffbooker team are making.
After valuable feedback from these agencies we soon learned that the majority of them were tired of encountering unreliable staff and were now desperately seeking quality staff but didn’t have the necessary resources of finding them.
Most marketing and PR companies, when pitching for a client, will give the impression they have a unique database of talented staff.
Rarely can they provide consistent work to each and every individual which means that most staff members are registered to any number of agencies, so essentially, all these companies are working from the same database.
Staffbooker is capturing the entire database of recognised staff members working within this specialised industry, something you can see for yourself by either trying out the Demo Search or by viewing the Staff Directory.
If you have worked in this industry before you are sure to recognise friends and colleagues that are now Staffbooker members.
How does Staffbooker expect to achieve greater levels of wage offers?
Many UK companies will attend exhibitions, hold corporate events, require models for their company brochure and possibly even launch a product or require an awareness campaign for an existing product.
Staffbooker introduces the first Staff Directory which enables any size company to book staff through our system.
We are keen to keep standards high so we make an effort not to undercut existing marketing and PR companies that are already working within the industry, which is why we provide the Staffbooker wage guide.
Staffbooker does not deduct a booking fee from the wage guide which means our members will receive every penny that is offered to them.
Our research indicates that a client’s main objective is not to save money when staffing an event but to employ the very best staff capable of representing their product, brand and company.
Clients already pay the going rate to agencies, as shown on the Staffbooker wage guide.
The majority of clients recognise that, in this industry, they get what they pay for and with the introduction of the Staffbooker Staff Directory they can now expect a lot more for their money. At the same time we can assist our members to step away from the hordes of staff and those daily rates of around £60 or £70.
Remember, you need only be booked once to clearly benefit from becoming a Staffbooker member and in the mean time you can take advantage of your personalised web page, the forum, an up to date agency directory and the Agency Chart etc.
Should you choose to become a full member, your membership fee will provide revenue for Staffbooker to advertise the Booker services in the relevant media, this will ultimately benefit all members.
It’s time for all quality staff members to benefit from a service which is dedicated to offering them greater working opportunities and rewards.
Staffbooker welcomes all staff members, new and experienced, who can distinguish the difference between the Staffbooker direction and that of any other website out there.
‘Others may soon follow but Staffbooker has and will continue to set the pace.’
