Hiring the Right Staff for Your Experiential Marketing Events

As technology has advanced, it has also increased the ease and efficiency in many industries, event staffing being one of them. Predictive Index (PI) is a piece of technology that was developed several years ago but has been fine-tuned over the years. Utilizing PI is one way a company can better understand their employees’ behavior and motivation triggers and is a large portion of hiring the right event staffing personnel, and ensuring they are in the right positions!

Predictive Index Measurement

Predictive Index gives the promotional staffing coordinator the ability to analyze staffing requirements in relation to behavioral terms. A PI scoring produces a pattern with three elements: self, self-concept and synthesis.

Each provides an event staffing agency and the event staffing program/booking coordinator with unique insights into a person’s potential. This information assists in training, communication and where the talent is placed.

· Self: basic motivating drives and behaviors: “doing what comes naturally”

· Self-Concept: how an individual is trying to modify his/her behavior in response to what he/she perceives to be the demands of the current work environment

· Synthesis: how the individual actually behaves in the current job; a combination of Self and Self-Concept

Benefits to Clients and Talent

· Client:

Because EventPro Strategies often utilizes PI to analyze the best fit for potential hires, clients receive better quality talent for their event staffing and promotional staffing needs.

Clients are able to develop realistic and objective staffing analyses and descriptions, while understanding the specific drives, aptitudes and interests needed to receive excellent performance. The PI helps to determine the correct job and industry which will maximize individual productivity, cooperation, creativity and involvement for each event staffing need.

When an event staffing agency hires for a mobile tour or a promotional staffing event, it is important to give managers specific and insightful information regarding the behavior and potential of people working with them. By understanding the team, the manager is able to motivate, manage and best use the human resources.

Talent:

When an event staffing agency uses a PI assessment in addition to other proven methods for screening and onboarding taletn, they are able to better match the talent with the right events, teammates and tasks to fit their personalities. Proficient event staffing means placing the right team together to make the event successful.
