TAG is a W-2 compliant event staffing marketplace that connects event organizers with temporary staff across 300+ markets in the United States and Canada.
Instead of relying on gig workers or a single staffing vendor, TAG leverages a network of 200+ vetted local staffing agencies, allowing organizers to source qualified, insured, and legally employed workers for events of any size.
Event organizers use TAG to request staff, manage fulfillment across multiple agencies, track attendance and timesheets, and receive one consolidated invoice, while agencies handle local recruiting and employment compliance.
TAG is built for concerts, festivals, conventions, sporting events, and large-scale live experiences where speed, reliability, and labor compliance are non-negotiable.

TempGuru's answer
Event organizers and venue operators who need reliable temporary staffing for stadiums, arenas, conventions, concerts, festivals, and corporate events. This includes production companies, live entertainment promoters, sports venues, convention centers, and enterprise clients who need scalable, compliant staffing across multiple markets without managing individual agency relationships.
TempGuru's answer
Competitors like Instawork and Qwick operate as gig economy platforms using 1099 contractor models, which exposes event organizers to worker misclassification liability. TAG removes that risk entirely. Clients get pre-negotiated rates, a 99% fill rate across 2,500+ events, confirmation within 24โ48 hours in most markets, and coverage in 275+ cities โ all managed through one platform instead of juggling contracts with dozens of local agencies. TAG handles the complexity so organizers don't have to.
TempGuru's answer
TAG (Temporary Assistance Guru) is the only event staffing platform that connects event organizers with a vetted network of 200+ local, W-2 compliant staffing agencies across 275+ markets in the U.S. and Canada โ all through a single point of contact. Unlike gig economy platforms that classify workers as 1099 independent contractors, TAG ensures full labor law compliance by partnering exclusively with agencies that employ their workers as W-2 employees. This eliminates misclassification risk for clients while supporting ethical staffing practices.
TempGuru's answer
Founder and CEO Megan Hayward spent 14+ years in the staffing industry, starting in 2012 and eventually running her own agency that staffed major venues including MLB stadiums and NFL events. She saw firsthand how fragmented event staffing was โ venues managing 10โ12 different agency contracts for a single event, workers confused about who employed them, and no centralized system to streamline it all. She founded TAG in 2018 to solve that problem by building a technology platform that aggregates vetted local agencies into one network, giving clients nationwide coverage with a single point of contact.
