Responsibilities of the host and hostess
The duties of the event hostess depend on the size of your business and the field in which it specializes. The event hostess will have the role of welcoming customers, providing them with information and providing guidance.
It is the showcase of the company, the one that gives customers their first impression of the company. It also often helps to retain them. It can also happen that the one who takes care of the reception in the company serves at the same time as secretary, planner or copywriter.
To be able to carry out these missions, it will therefore have to know the company inside out and maintain the entrepreneurial spirit in all circumstances.
The skills and qualities required
Certain basic skills and qualities are required of hostesses. In addition to the art of communication, they should be polite, courteous and look presentable at all times.
There is no standard route to becoming an event hostess. However, it is useful that the event host or hostess can be fluent in English and practice other languages if possible. A good general knowledge, as well as great versatility, are also required of the hostess.
Previous experience in the field will serve the interests of your company. To better manage applications, you can create filters via database management software.
Finally and most importantly, an event hostess should be trained in Covid-19 health and safety, to keep themselves, their clients and the public safe and know how to respond during an emergency.
Where and how can I find an event hostess?
The easiest way to find an event hostess is through an event staffing agency. But before moving to this stage, you must define your needs, considering that Covid-19 has changed the face of hospitality in companies. It should figure among the needs to be defined:
- the type of contract that will bind the hostess and the recruiting company,
- the level of education required,
- the ideal residential area
- the appropriate professional experience as well as the missions that the professional event staff will have to fulfil.
