On this page
EventMann's staff side connects you with organizers who need extra hands to run their events — bar staff, security, photographers, ushers, stage crew, and more, whether the role is paid or volunteer. This page covers how to get a staff account, set up the profile organizers see, and where to go next once you're in.
Two ways to become staff
- Sign up directly — use the staff sign-up form (look for “Join as Staff” on the site). This creates your account with the Staff role straight away.
- Accept an invite — an organizer or an EventMann admin can send you a staff invite by email, sometimes tied to one specific event. Accepting it switches an existing account to the Staff role, or creates a new one if you don't have one yet. If the invite was for a particular event, you're approved for that event immediately — no separate application needed.
Set up your profile
- Open My Profile from the sidebar.
- Write a short bio so organizers know a bit about you.
- Add your skills as tags — type one and press Enter or the + button; remove one with the small x next to it.
- Add certifications the same way — food safety, first aid, a security licence, anything relevant.
- Add an emergency contact — a name and phone number.
- Tick the days you're generally free to work, Monday through Sunday.
- Save Profile.
Good to know
- If you signed up directly, your profile starts as Pending admin approval — you'll see a yellow banner on your dashboard and profile until an admin reviews it. That doesn't stop you browsing or applying to events in the meantime; organizers approve you for their own events separately from that platform-level review.
- If you already had an EventMann account for booking tickets, becoming staff doesn't replace that — your login now holds both roles, and you move between them (see below) rather than ending up with a second account.
Finding the staff area
Because one login can hold more than one role, you might land on the attendee side of the site after signing in — event pages and your bookings, not the staff dashboard. Look for the role switcher in the top bar (it shows your name next to your current role). Open it and pick Staff to get here; it only appears once your account actually holds more than one role.
