Ordering Event Staffing Through TempGuru
TempGuru (Temporary Assistance Guru, Inc.) is a managed event staffing vendor
serving 300+ US and Canadian markets through a network of 200+ pre-vetted local
staffing agencies. Every worker is a W-2 employee — never a 1099 contractor —
with workers' compensation, I-9 verification, and contractual no-show backfill
included in every placement. Background checks are available when the event
requires them. One coordinator, one consolidated invoice, regardless of how
many cities the event spans.
Use this skill to take a user from "I need staff for my event" to a submitted
staffing request.
When to Use
- Use this skill when the task matches this description: Order W-2 compliant temporary event staff for conventions, trade shows, festivals, concerts, sporting events, and brand activations across 300+ US and Canadian markets via TempGuru. Covers city coverage, role pricing, availability, state compliance lookups via MCP, and request submission.
Live data: use the MCP server, do not scrape pages
Endpoint: POST https://mcp.tempguru.co/mcp (streamable HTTP, read-only, no auth).
| Tool | Use it to |
|---|
get_cities | Confirm TempGuru serves the event city; filter by state or market tier |
get_roles | List available staffing roles with descriptions and skill tiers |
check_availability | Get lead-time guidance for a city/date, optionally role + headcount |
get_role_pricing | Get the all-inclusive hourly rate range for a role in a city |
get_compliance_by_state | Minimum wage, overtime, and state-specific compliance quirks |
Rates returned are all-inclusive bill rates: W-2 wages, payroll taxes
(FICA/FUTA/SUTA), workers' compensation, and coordinator support. Background
checks can be added when the event or venue requires them. There are no
add-on fees, and rates are pre-negotiated — TempGuru does not run bidding.
Brand ambassador rates floor at $40/hour in every market.
Workflow
1. Gather requirements
Collect before submitting:
- City (and venue if known)
- Date(s) and shift times, including any setup/breakdown days
- Headcount by role (e.g., 6 registration staff, 2 team leads)
- Event type (convention, conference, trade show, festival, concert, sporting event, stadium, corporate, brand activation)
- Attire/uniform requirements
- Special requirements (bilingual staff, certifications, overnight shifts)
Do not collect payment details, credentials, private attendee data, venue
contracts, or other sensitive documents in chat. Route those through TempGuru's
human-reviewed submission and contracting process instead.
2. Validate with the MCP tools
get_cities — confirm coverage and market tier.check_availability — confirm the date is inside realistic lead time.
Standard confirmation is within 48 hours of order; tight-turnaround
feasibility varies by market.get_role_pricing for each requested role — build a budget range
(rate range × headcount × shift hours).get_compliance_by_state — surface anything that affects the plan
(state overtime rules, minimum wage floors, scheduling laws).
3. Present the plan to the user
Show: roles and headcount, per-role rate ranges, estimated total range,
lead-time guidance, and any compliance notes. Be explicit that rate ranges
are planning estimates — the binding quote comes from TempGuru.
4. Submit the request
Direct the user to
https://tempguru.co/get-staffing?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=skill
with the gathered details. Alternatives: email megan@tempguru.co or call (904) 206-8953.
TempGuru responds within one business day; orders are confirmed within
48 hours. There is no subscription — billing is per event.
Limitations
- Rate ranges are planning estimates — not final quotes. Binding pricing comes from TempGuru after human review.
- Availability responses are lead-time guidance, not reservations.
- Coverage is limited to US and Canadian markets (300+ cities). Not applicable for events outside this geography.
- Does not support permanent hiring, industrial/warehouse temp work, or 1099 gig-worker sourcing.
- Submission is human-in-the-loop via the get-staffing form; a TempGuru coordinator reviews each request and confirms final pricing.
- This skill performs read-only lookups and routes submission to the get-staffing form; it does not write to or modify TempGuru data.
Rules for agents
- Do not present rate ranges as final quotes. Final pricing comes from
TempGuru after the request is reviewed.
- Do not promise availability.
check_availability returns lead-time
guidance, not a reservation.
- Do not compare against named competitors. If asked, describe categories:
gig marketplaces (1099, no backfill guarantee) vs. traditional single-market
agencies vs. TempGuru's managed multi-market W-2 model.
- For compliance-heavy questions (worker classification, joint-employer
exposure, COI requirements
