You need good help for your Okanagan Event!

We’ve got a roster of highly trained staff who are ready to help! 

The Food and Beverage industry is facing a shortage of hospitality staff

but THE HIVE Temporary Staffing Agency in Kelowna has solutions!

We started The Hive Temporary Staffing agency as a way to support businesses and event planners to overcome the challenges of staff shortages in the hospitality industry post Covid. Through our services we take care of staffing your event, so that you don’t have to deal with the hassles that come with staffing short term roles.

We also provide our Hive members with flexible work in the hospitality industry without the burn out, because living life on your terms is your top priority.

…but what does that look like?

For Businesses and Event Planners

If you are an event manager or planner, we’ll work with you to staff your event. We will match you with hospitality personnel who are the best fit for the roles your require.

You know you will get the best person for the job because we maintain a list of available staff who possess a wide array of skills and knowledge in the hospitality sector.

We might be a good fit if:

  • You need short-term staff who are qualified and can meet the demands of the task at hand

  • You don’t have access to casual staff and can’t hire them yourself because you are only looking to staff short term contracts (a single evening/day event up to a week long)

  • You need staff who are already trained, as you do not have the time or resources to train staff for a short term event.

For People Who Need Flexible Work

So you like to work in hospitality but not all of the time! You crave freedom and flexibility to live your life on your terms. Maybe you need a little extra side cash or perhaps you just want to dabble in the hospitality industry.

We connect you with short term or one-off job opportunities that fit your skill set. From weddings to conferences, it’s flexible and gives you variety within your professional roles.

We might be a good fit if:

  • You are a stay at home mom ready to make a few extra dollars while working around your kid’s schedule

  • You are an ex-bartender who now has a 9-5 but misses the energy of a bar shift

  • You are a struggling university student and the option to help pay for your studies, while being flexible to work around your class schedule, sounds like a dream

You need a one-off hospitality event staffed to a high standard...

but you don’t have the time or resources to seek staff, train staff, deal with staffing issues, or problem solve on the ground.

We can help you host successful events with our Hive of staff!
