Christchurch’s #1 provider of temporary staff for stadiums, events & conferences
Sidekicker connects thousands of Christchurch businesses with top-tier temporary venue and events staff every year.




We have thousands of Christchurch-based events and functions staff ready to go

Qualified, productive, and reliable workers
Thorough screening
Every worker undergoes a comprehensive screening process, including interviews, document verification, OH&S training, and tailored inductions. Whether you need Christchurch-based cashiers, ticketing staff or more, our process ensures you get the best of the best.
Profile accountability
Sidekicks are rated and reviewed after each shift, with their reliability score visible on their profile. This incentivises staff to perform consistently, allowing you to choose who works in your business, unlike traditional events and functions staffing agencies in Christchurch.
Retention through talent pools
Enhance retention and continuity of your preferred workers – other events customers have increased retention by up to 70%.

Pay less for more
Save 30% on event staffing agency fees

Set the rates you want to pay
Our pricing engine allows you to control what you’re paying for your event staff.

Digital compliance systems give you security that your temporary event staff are qualified, safe to work, and being paid correctly.
