Troopers, a job-matching solution platform, has formed a series of strategic partnerships to provide staffing solutions to meet the temporary needs of their clients in the events industry.

Troopers collaboration involves working with four event organisers, LOL Asia, Shiraz Project, Fresh Events Asia and Hitman Solutions, to provide temporary work opportunities with these partners on its platform.

The synergistic alliance not only aims to streamline event operations but also places a strong emphasis on elevating the welfare and recognition of event crew members who play a pivotal role in event success.

The platform offers employers a simple, centralised recruitment source while ensuring better welfare for gig workers with clear records of engagement, transparent wages, and scope of work.

The hiring of gig workers in the dynamic events industry often occurs informally and on an ad-hoc basis. With this collaboration, Troopers and its partners aim to set a new industry standard for ethical and equitable employment practices in the events industry and beyond.

Craig Goonting, the chief operating officer of Troopers said it was an honour for Trooper to work closely with organisations that share a similar vision to protect the welfare of part-timers.

“What’s truly important is the pressing need to ensure our gig workers are well compensated while being protected. We aim to work diligently to provide the best solutions to our partners and users alike,” he said.

“​​We want to go beyond traditional boundaries, leveraging cutting-edge technology to strengthen our commitment to gig worker welfare while still providing top-notch solutions to our clients and partners.

“As an industry leader, we are in a position to advise our clients on the best practices when it comes to engaging gig workers. We want to redefine and reshape the event staffing landscape and set new industry benchmarks,” Goonting added.

Adding to this sentiment is Troopers chief growth officer Ryo Lam who said, “We recognise the difficulties faced by our gig workers and we hope that our collaboration can be a game-changer for the gig economy landscape in the event industry.”

The Troopers, LOL Asia, Shiraz Project, Fresh Events Asia and Hitman Solutions strategic partnership heralds a new era of event excellence by combining their strengths, knowledge, and resources.

With innovation, professionalism and inclusivity, the collaboration serves to underscore the commitment to creating events that reflect a genuine concern for the individuals who contribute towards making their events successful.

Fresh Events Asia event director Callum Meehan commented, “Together with Troopers, we are committed to providing our valuable crew members with the tools and support they need to thrive in the gig economy”

Hitman Solutions operations director Rishi Rampal said, “At Hitman Solutions, we believe in creating thriving opportunities and our partnership with Troopers marks our dedication to our gig workers, who are the backbone of our operations.”

“Troopers is an innovative idea that is poised to be a game-changer in how we approach staffing in this industry. We are excited to be a part of this movement and hope to see our collaboration redefine success in the gig economy,” said Shirazdeen Abdul Rahim, executive producer at Shiraz Project.

Troopers invites entities keen to disrupt and improve the hiring practices in the gig landscape for collaboration to streamline staffing processes while fostering a culture of innovation and inclusivity.
