Hire Event Specialists

The first step in hiring an event specialist is defining your event’s unique needs. What type of event will you hold? For example, hosting a large corporate conference requires a different skill set than an executive training event. Write a detailed job description that is accurate and specific. Also keep in mind that the job description should be more than just a list of responsibilities. Make sure to promote your company’s strengths and highlight what you can offer the candidate as far as perks or advancement opportunities. It’s a good idea to include information about your company’s unique mission, values, and goals. You also consider sharing about past events that have been successful. In this way, the ideal candidate will be encouraged to apply. 

Posting job announcements on social media, hiring platforms, and online communities will increase the likelihood that the right candidate will apply.

Event Specialist Responsibilities

From planning, managing, and hosting, an event specialist is capable of handling various roles in event management. Under the planning category, an event specialist begins by identifying the client’s needs and vision for the event while taking into account budget and time constraints. The event specialist works alongside the client to create the concept, design, and other details. They may conduct market research on various vendors and suppliers and make appropriate suggestions to the client. 

Additionally, the event specialist conducts site visits and leads pre-event meetings. They ensure that client requirements regarding food, design, logistics, production equipment, and all other details are satisfied. The event specialist acts as a liaison between the client and external vendors and suppliers throughout the planning stage and manages all forms of correspondence and paperwork before the event. 

On the day of the event, the event specialist greets guests upon arrival and may help them find their seats. During the event, they interact and engage with guests, answer any questions, and provide them information about the event as needed.

To ensure that everything is running smoothly, the event specialist coordinates with all members of the staff. In case of unforeseen circumstances or delays, the event specialist must be creative and resolve any concerns quickly. It is important to be familiar with the venue and set-up layout well and to know the staff in  charge of the catering, service, and logistics teams. 

Event Specialist Skills and Qualifications

The ideal candidate for an event specialist is someone who has a passion for people and events and is organized, meticulous, and detail-oriented. Hiring managers use their discretion to decide on the educational background qualifications of the role. A high school diploma or GED is usually required, and a Bachelor’s degree in a related field may also be required. 

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are valued as the role will involve coordinating and conversing with staff, clients, vendors, and guests. Leadership and time management skills are also important. Prior experience in event management is also generally desired in a candidate.

Just as in any role, hiring an event specialist requires patience and perseverance. But considering everything that an event specialist can contribute, it will be well worth the effort to find someone who is a perfect fit.
