Eventique was in the process of opening a new year-long, outdoor art installation. It was important to Eventique to have dependable hospitality workers, not just to support the event, but to maintain their standard of delivering memorable, sophisticated, cutting-edge experiences for guests. Their stringent criteria for contingent labor providers centered around three key factors:
An Eventique employee had previously used Jitjatjo, and strongly recommended that leadership explore its staffing capabilities. They knew they needed skilled, dependable workers, and as an agency that continuously looks for new methods and innovations, were open to new options for staff sourcing.
Jitjatjo’s Ondemand was able to offer several critical advantages in shaping their contingent labor strategy:
Eventique noted that Jitjatjo’s user-friendly app was a key feature in their decision to partner. The intuitive user interface made the platform simple to navigate, which made adoption easy. They appreciated the color-coded shift calendar, which gives staffing managers a quick reference point of daily operational needs. Ondemand’s “MyTeam” function was noted to be especially valuable, as it enabled Eventique to book repeat staff that were familiar with the venue and had demonstrated exceptional job performance.
User Experience with Ondemand:
Eventique credited Jitjatjo as being an integral part of their success in the staffing of a new venue, and beyond. When faced with a staffing shortage for an Easter Sunday event, for example, Jitjatjo was able to fill all roles within a matter of hours, allowing the event to proceed without disruption. Repeatedly working with the same contingent talent team helped Eventique create a strong bond between temporary and permanent staff members, cutting down the time they spent on training and providing more stability across their event operations.
Ondemand’s Role in Success:
Eventique has some advice for hiring managers looking to staff with Jitjatjo: consistency is key. “By having the same team most nights, it really helped create a strong bond among the team as we worked through the nuances of opening a new venue. If you can have the same people day in and day out, really learning the details of the job/space, it's much easier to make adjustments when necessary.”
