Customer review
For the operation of our two area bookstores, the direct sale to about 600 publishing houses and the support of the book tables at about 900 readings and signings at the Leipzig Book Fair 2016, we needed almost 200 people. InStaff supported us very professionally with this mammoth project. Thanks to the system, we were able to very easily get in touch with the people and clarify organizational matters.

A hostess agency provides hostesses and hosts for trade fairs, congresses and events and takes care of employment, briefing and payroll. At InStaff this works via an online platform: you send a request, choose your preferred candidates from the applications, and InStaff handles the legally compliant employment as well as absence management.
To book a hostess you simply enter time, place and job description and send your request without obligation. Within a few hours you receive a selection of qualified applicants. Based on profiles, photos, experience and reviews you choose the right hostesses and hosts yourself.
Yes, hostesses in Germany are available through our pool of more than 123,000 vetted profiles. We provide local hostesses in over 40 German cities and at all major trade fair locations, so you do not pay travel or accommodation costs. With the hostess agency InStaff you book staff for your trade fair appearance at any location via the same platform.
Prices for hostesses at InStaff start at 22.17 EUR per hour – depending on location, qualification and requirements. You pay a clearly defined surcharge of 43 % on the gross wage, no further costs apply. There is no subscription and no minimum booking. For an exact calculation use our price calculator.
You can book exhibition hostesses, congress and event hostesses, male hosts, VIP hostesses, chief hostesses and interpreter hostesses. All placed hostesses receive hostess training, and many additionally speak foreign languages such as English, French or Turkish.
In big cities like Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg or Munich we can often provide hostesses within a few hours. In mid-sized cities the lead time is usually 8 to 12 hours. For large trade fairs with a high staffing demand we recommend sending your request early.
Unlike with a classic hostess agency, you do not wait through long quotation phases at InStaff: the staff apply directly to your request, you choose yourself, and prices are transparent from the start. In addition, InStaff handles the legally compliant employment and payroll as well as free absence management.
In case of illness or other absence, InStaff usually provides equivalent replacement quickly – at no additional cost to you. Thanks to the large pool of registered staff, your trade fair appearance can continue without interruption.
All placed hostesses receive hostess training and are briefed by InStaff before the assignment. So that your event hostess or trade fair hostess represents your company and products with confidence, you can add notes on schedule, dress code and contact persons to your job description. This way your staff is well prepared from the start.
