the United Arab Emirates and throughout the world. Our aim is to provide
the best skills in the most time and cost effective manner. We fully

Event Staffing
Putting together a major event such as the Olympic Games or the FIFA
World Cup requires years of preparation and planning by a highly skilled
and experienced group of people that need to be hired far in advance of
the actual event.
The numbers of people required to then run
such an event are significant, from venue staff,
hospitality staff, ticketing, accreditation,
signage, logistics and transport to the huge
numbers of support staff.
UME Resourcing has a great deal of experience
in the initial recruitment of Local Organising
Committees as well as all subsequent large
scale recruitment of operational and support
staff for the event.
Part of our event staffing service includes recruiting the vast number of
volunteers needed for events which can reach into the thousands. We
streamline and manage the process from end to end, handling the
advertising campaign, collection and screening processes, using specially
built tailor-made online systems, which ultimately result in a comprehensive
database of qualified volunteers which enables us to set up and run a
complete volunteer programme.
A well designed volunteer programme can leave a sustainable human
legacy following the event through the acquisition of new skills that are
transferable into meaningful employment. Our volunteer programmes in
developing countries are designed in conjunction with our Legacy
programme, managing the recruitment, training and development of large
numbers of volunteers that are required for events who can then be placed
into positions within industries such as retail, hospitality, transport and
leisure.
We are experienced in building the local volunteer base who work alongside
the international volunteers, again creating a transfer of knowledge into the
local community.

The three most important factors in successful recruitment –
expertise, expertise, expertise
A major event evolves through a number of stages: bidding, planning, set up,
operational stage and post event activity. At UME Resourcing we have a
thorough understanding of all these steps and what is required at each stage
including the different skill sets required for each functional area.
Our in-depth knowledge of the
events industry has enabled us
to have good contacts with key
candidates who come back to
us after each event to be
placed into their next role.

We also work with several bidding cities far in advance of the actual event,
consulting with them on their official hiring plans and facilitating the process
so that key positions are filled years in advance, while those candidates are
still busy working on other events. Our extensive database of experienced,
qualified events candidates makes us the industry reference point for all
event planners.
Through our events expertise we
are able to combine international
events specialists along with
locally hired event staff to create
a highly functional team with a
legacy of knowledge transfer.
Our aim is to streamline the entire event management process in order to
enable clients to pre-plan all of their hiring requirements rather than
desperately trying to find the right candidates at the last moment or of having
an expensive payroll too far ahead in order to ensure that they have all of the
key people in place.

In terms of local personnel, we represent a large number of Western and
international professionals based here in the UAE however we also
understand the need for events that are held in region to have local
personnel present to ensure the event retains its UAE feeling &
identity. For this reason we have been proactive in forming relationships
with education providers and training institutions as well as building
relationships with a number of well qualified local UAE Nationals. We
have built strong relationships with the two main event management
training providers here in the UAE – EMDI & Middlesex University – which
will ensure that we have access to a large number of qualified event
personnel each year, as well as ensuring that we are involved with the
training & development of personnel.
