About the startup

TAG is the compliance-first event staffing platform that connects event organizers with pre-vetted, W-2 compliant staffing agencies across 300+ markets in the US and Canada. Unlike gig-economy platforms that treat staffing as a commodity, TAG operates a managed partner network model—no bidding, no uncertainty, just reliable coverage. How it works: Event organizers submit staffing requests through TAG's platform. Our network of vetted local staffing agencies—each screened for compliance, experience, and reliability—fulfill orders according to service-level agreements (SLAs). TAG manages the relationship, quality assurance, and compliance so you don't have to. Why TAG exists: The event staffing industry is broken. Gig platforms created race-to-the-bottom pricing, unreliable workers, and compliance nightmares for venues and event organizers. Meanwhile, traditional staffing agencies lack scale and technology. TAG bridges that gap: we bring technology and national scale to the compliant staffing model. What you get: 99% fill rates across all markets and event types (venues, conventions, corporate events, festivals, sports) Pre-vetted agencies that maintain compliance standards—no independent contractors, no misclassification risk Speed: 2-4 week lead times standard; 2-3 days for urgent requests; 24-48 hour confirmation Same-week backfills in select markets when last-minute coverage is needed National coverage across 300+ US and Canadian markets with local expertise and relationships Managed experience: One platform, one point of contact, coordinated logistics Who uses TAG: Event organizers of all sizes—from independent promoters to major venue operators, convention centers, and sports franchises—rely on TAG for consistent, compliant staffing across multiple markets. 100,000+ workers placed. 5,000+ events staffed. One mission: make event staffing reliable.
