n. FOOT SOLDIER: 1. Soldiers who fight on foot; an infantry trooper
2. One who performs necessary but basic tasks
3. A totally awesome, intelligent and efficient temporary event staff member!
So that's the definition - but who ARE Foot Soldiers?
Anyone who has ever been involved in an event or production knows that there is always a need for staff to carry out those tasks that take time and brain power, but simply cannot be handled by the Event Team. That's where we come in! For more than ten years Foot Soldiers has been the go-to-team of top events agencies, project managers and production teams countrywide. We fill the gap between nonchalant and uninterested crew and the Event Team, by providing task-selected Soldiers to assist with anything from Collateral Packing to Registration.
The team at Headquarters focus on the recruitment, training and provision of an intelligent, capable and efficient temporary workforce. You can expect your Foot Soldiers to be well presented, educated, polite and personable. We place great emphasis on maintaining a one-on-one relationship with all Soldiers so that you the client can rest assured that each Soldier has been appropriately deployed. All Soldiers are clearly briefed and trained for specific tasks where necessary, and potential amongst the Soldiers is noted and developed to constantly improve our service.
Our Soldiers will step in and Help You Make it Happen at every step of your project – from assisting with pre-production call-downs, to managed on-site ushers and hostesses, to post-event guest surveys and gift deliveries. There is no event too big or too small to add a few Soldiers to the mix!
Foot Soldiers allow YOU to focus on YOUR job
We pride ourselves in sourcing only intelligent staff who show potential and inititative, which allows the Event Manager to confidently delegate tasks to the Soldiers - and thus focus on their many other responsibilities. Simple on-site management structures and ranking systems amongst active Soldiers mean that information is deployed by the Foot Captain on duty to all ranking Soldiers, thereby eradicating the need for you to brief each and every Soldier.
Each new recruit that joins the squadron must meet our strict criteria – developed during our 15+ years of combined experience in the industry. These criteria encompass presentation, manners, approach to tasks, skills and general performance. Our database has been carefully and thoughtfully selected to represent a range of demographics, skills and competencies. In this way we can ensure that we provide only the most skilled and able Soldiers for all events – be they small-scale office functions or expos hosting 30 000 delegates.
