Traditional event staffing agencies charge 40-60% markups on top of worker hourly rates, require minimum bookings, and lock you into contracts. RentAHuman offers a better approach: hire exactly the staff you need, for exactly the hours you need them, at transparent rates with only an 8% platform fee.
Every event worker on RentAHuman is background-checked through Checkr and covered by our $1M master liability insurance. You can review worker profiles, see their event experience, read verified reviews from other event hosts, and choose the people who are the best fit for your event. This level of transparency is rare in the event staffing industry, where agencies often send workers without giving you any choice or visibility.
Whether you are planning a 20-person dinner party, a 500-person corporate conference, a wedding reception, a fundraising gala, or a product launch, RentAHuman has the staff to make it successful. Our workers are experienced, professional, and punctual. They understand the pace and pressure of live events and know how to deliver exceptional service to your guests.
Post your event staffing needs in 60 seconds, get matched with available workers in your area, brief your team on the details, and let them handle the rest. Payment is held in escrow until the event is complete and you are satisfied. It is event staffing made simple.
All rates are per worker, per hour. 8% platform fee applies. No minimums, no contracts, no hidden fees. Workers keep 92% of earnings.
