Staffing Agencies: Outsourcing vs In-House


Corporate events, golf tournaments, Go-Go Dancers, models, and hostesses. When you need a few extra hands for a big event, or a particular job – a company will often ask the question, ‘Are we outsourcing, or using in-house staff?


With the increasing popularity of outsourcing models, the staffing industry has gotten better at hiring professionals, and recruiting a strong roster like Girls of Glam does. So, what are the benefits of outsourcing work to a staffing agency, and why should you do it? We’ll tell you!



Why Outsourcing Works:
Outsourcing is simply cost effective. When you have in-house staff working events you’re often worrying about salaries, vacation pay, time off, people taking sick days, and the stress of scheduling. When you outsource to a staffing agency like Girls of Glam you pay them upfront, and you gain the confidence of knowing your staff will be there. With a one-time fee at a competitive rate, you really can’t go wrong!

It’s specialized. There is nothing worse than frantic staff. When your staff doesn’t have experience with specific events it creates chaos and stress among everyone. Outsourcing to an agency means specialized staff who have experience. At Girls of Glam, we only provide our clients with staff who have had experience working at the event or working the job you need us for. In many cases our staff are certified, which means you do not have to worry about certifying your staff.



Professionalism and a polished look. Our girls and our guys are on site looking good, and ready to work. Models get the option to bid for a job. We let those who are qualified for a job knows there is a position open and they bid on the job. You are getting people who WANT to work. Not people who are doing it because they have to. When you have staff like this, the enthusiasm, dedication, and pride shows. That’s one of the really great aspects about outsourcing! With in-house staff, you generally don’t get that type of enthusiasm because they are required to be there. And sometimes, that can be pretty scary.



It’s worry free. You hire us. You pay us. We do the rest. Simple instructions for specific roles may be required, but everything can be organized in advanced. Once our team shows up on site, you can relax and let US do the work while you enjoy time to focus on what you need to do, whether that be running the event, to socializing with your guests. You literally can’t put a price on a smooth running operation.

There are cases where in-house makes sense. But having extra hands that are already trained, enthusiastic, and ready to work.

Grand Prix Weekend in Montreal: Liquor Sampling with Girls of Glam

If you were at the Grand Prix weekend in Montreal, you probably saw Girls of Glam giving out samples of Bailey's, Jose  Cuervo, and Johnny Walker! We had so much fun being able to represent these great liquor brands to so many people, and our girls looked great in their racing attire!

Girls of Glam often get the opportunity to sample for many liquor brands. And since this was such a big event, we wanted to share this experience with you, and show you want it's like!



I spoke with one of our Girls Vivian G. about her experience. Her initial role was to introduce a simple Bailey's recipe to everyone, and she explained what her experience with this role was like:


"The first and most important role/job I had was to offer the summer
drink of Bailey's to the public. It was a large event and the most
effective way to reach more people meant handing out one sample only
to each person. Our second role/job was to communicate that Baileys
original is Delicious, to remind the attendees that Baileys is a great
summer drink, that it can be blended with ice to share with friends,
to let attendees know all the great flavours: Original, Caramel,
Hazelnut and the upcoming Biscotti. My job was also to point out the
QR code that could be scanned for more recipes. I also referred the
attendees sampling to the Baileys Facebook page. Aside from
communicating these elements, the consistency had to be checked. My
job meant to do all of these things and answer any questions about the
ingredients, the history of the product if need be and to refer the
people to ID person and stamper."





Andrea C. who also worked at the event as a rep for Bailey's, Johnny Walker, and Jose Cuervo said she loved the experience and the people she interacted with:

"I think everyday was awsome, the crowd was full of energy every time I worked with during each event was fun and dynamic. I most say that working for Johnny Walker at the press release was really interesting, total different consumers and seeing an actual racer was fun!"

With all the hard work our Girls do at these events, you're probably wondering how they make it through the day! Aside from the fact that they're roles are super fun, it can be exhausting. And luckily, these Girls have specific tactics to ensure they keep professorial, and continue to represent the brand:


"My attitude was friendly, and open. It was appealing to the
public to see a real face smiling, ready to answer any questions about
the Brand. The attendees liked being served with a smile. Secondly, my
team members and I worked well together and it was felt by the
attendees. We had fun and so did the people we talked to. Thirdly,
being Colombian Canadian is a good representation of a modern
multicultural image. Attendees got to see how Bailey's is a
multicultural company giving even opportunity to all kinds of Canadian
residents. Finally, my appearance was good. My appearance always
professional worked well with my stylish glasses to make for a good
image for Bailey's." - Vivian



"Always keeping a smile and good energy,  and respond to every question the clients and consumer had." - Andrea

"I kept a positive attitude. Even at the busy points I tried to work as much as possible to avoid customer disappointment." Tea MM.




Our Girls did a great job at the event, and we are so happy they had so much fun, and took extra pride in representing these brands. Liquor sampling is a strong part of Girls of Glam, and we love that our Girls enjoy participating in these events and being strong brand ambassadors:


"I definitely enjoyed working at this event. It was a high paced
environment that was handled well by all involved. We managed to get
the information out there about the new flavours which everyone seemed
to enjoy. It was an amazing experience which I will remember always." Vivian

"Working Grand Prix was definitely engaging and exciting." - Tea MM.

Girls of Glam at the 2012 Stylus Awards


The Stylus Awards are an opportunity to honor Canadian club culture, and also up and coming DJ’s and artists. Since Girls of Glam play a strong presence in the Canadian music and nightclub industry, we were thrilled to have the privilege of working at the show on May 28th at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto.
Some of our girls played a huge role in the show by having the opportunity to escort the award winners onto the stage to receive their awards.



Clara R. was particularly excited about this opportunity:
Working at the 2012 Stylus Awards was so exciting! We had the roles of the "Vanna Whites" for the award show, bringing each winner the award on stage. Being backstage was an amazing experience especially when rubbing elbows with many Canadian music stars. We were able to see all the performances from the stage-wings which was really cool! Everyone we met on and off stage was so nice and just as excited to be a part of the event. At first it was a bit nerve-racking to think we would have to be up on stage for most of the show, but once we walked up there a few times it was super fun and truly a memorable experience.”



Girls of Glam model, Katherine L. was also able to be a part of the show:
It was an amazing experience and definitely something completely new. Being up there gave you a rush if excitement.”

Girls of Glam is always proud to support Canadian artists, which is why we were so enthralled to be able to participate in the show. Our girls looked amazing and so professional on stage.



Katherine and Clara were so honored to be a part of this opportunity:
“I'm so glad & thankful that Girls of Glam was part of it and so thankful as well for working with a company that can present opportunities like this to me.”  - Katherine

I think it is really great that Girls of Glam was a part of the Stylus Awards because Canadian music is such a vital part in our culture and to be at an event that recognizes and supports Canadian music talent is truly amazing. I love being part of a company that is [involved] of such a variety of events. This was a very unique experience and I am so honored that I got to be a part of an award show that is plays such a huge role in Canadian music. This event was really awesome and I am happy to say neither of us tripped on stage!” - Clara

Male Models: Don't Let Girls of Glam Fool You


The great thing about Girls of Glam is our diverse roster of models, which also includes male models. This is something that sets us apart from other promotion agencies. Rather than looking for males to fill a client’s job with a request for male models at the last minute, Girls of Glam has a full roster of experienced male models ready for work!



The most deceiving part is our branding – Girls of Glam does not particularly appeal to our male roster. However, we are excited that we are able to offer clients our roster of males. Male models are great for many events – including brand ambassadors, bartending and serving, modeling, and many others. Males are becoming increasingly popular for promotional events because they offer a new flavour to the scene, and also more diversity.



Girls of Glam have been receiving more requests for male models and this is something that is really exciting for us as an agency. Our roster is stacked with males who have experience, and it’s only getting stronger. As Girls of Glam continues to grow rapidly, we will be adding more male models to our roster and start to actually push them out to clients more. This means more for our clients to choose from and also more bookings for males. The industry is getting more competitive, and Girls of Glam are happy that we are leading as an example for other agencies.



If you are interested in booking male models for an event, please email us at glam.promotion@gmail.com





If you or someone your know would like to be a part of the Girls of Glam team – MALE or female, email us for more information glam.promotion@gmail.com
