Top 5 Reasons Why Companies Use Staffing Agencies

Toronto Event Staffing Agencies can provide a wide range of temporary employees. These are also known as independent contractors, that are able to help with a variety of tasks, depending on a company’s specific needs. You can access Toronto Event Staffing Agencies by working with a staffing agency, after which, you are assigned a direct account manager or coordinator that will ensure that the selected contractor(s) will possess the desired skills, talents, and experience that your company requests. See below for the top 5 reasons why businesses lean on Tigris Events to provide them with the best possible staff for their company.

Toronto Event Staffing Agencies

Increased Flexibility


Tigris Events helps our clients offer their employees increased flexibility within the workplace. We do so by adding temporary staff to a company’s current workforce, to assist with the current workload, after-hours events, or with niche projects. By having these temporary staff, it allows for your current employees to have a wider range of flexibility within their projects and existing workload. This also allows for permanent employees to allocate their time effectively to their different projects and increase their flexibility in terms of tasks and even work hours.

Improve Productivity


Hiring the right candidate for a position can be hard, costly and time-consuming. Tigris can help you take those weeks or months back, to focus on your company’s goals, projects, and most importantly, your employees.

Say you have a conference coming up and you need your employees to handle the registration table. However, they’d have to work after hours or on the weekends, disrupting their normal work-life balance. Instead of putting the extra work and pressure on your full-time employees, hire some independent contractors to handle your registration table! By hiring on additional contractors to alleviate work from your current employee’s plate, it can help to increase overall productivity, so nobody feels overwhelmed or overworked.

Specialized Expertise


“Specialized expertise is someone or something that is specially trained and/or developed for a particular purpose or area of knowledge” (Dictionary, 2019). When employers are looking for a specific skill or talent, it can be extremely time-consuming. These specific skills or talents can be hard to come by, especially without the knowledge of how to efficiently recruit.

Here at Tigris, we spend our time finding and sourcing candidates in every area you could possibly imagine, to build up our rosters. That’s why we are experts at what we do! Whether you’re looking for a poker dealer, bilingual staff, Food Handler certifications, or extensive marketing experience, we can find this person for you!

Greater Recruitment Reach


Tigris Events is currently the number one staffing agency in the GTA. This means we are experts at the staffing and recruiting. We have a wide range of candidates that are dedicated to working with us and you on projects for a short-term period. We’ve spent 15 years building our roster which consists of candidates all over Canada and the United States from St. John’s, Newfoundland to LeDuc, Alberta and larger cities like New York, Toronto and Vancouver. We have even staffed an event in Nunavut & the Northwest Territories!

We have filtered through the best of the best in every city to make sure that we have the top talent in every market. In fact, we have 2,000+ staff nationwide! We know the ins and outs of the hiring industry and will be able to provide top talent.

Toronto Event Staffing Agencies Reduce Turnover


Turnover in the workplace can happen for a multitude of reasons. Maybe your employees are feeling overworked, or they’re receiving a lack of feedback or recognition. Any and all these reasons can be reduced by using “Tigris” to hire a few independent contractors. By having independent contractors on-site at your events, you’re able to spend more time dedicating your attention to your employees. This can make a greater impact for your team in the long run.

Overall, hiring a staffing agency like Tigris Events can be a cost-efficient way to increase employee flexibility. It also eliminates additional after-hours planning and work.
