Experts in high-volume Recruitment: Squid Game Promotional Event

How Hirestaff Pulled Off a High-Volume Recruitment Miracle in Just One Week

At Hirestaff, we pride ourselves on being the go-to solution for businesses needing top-quality staff—even at short notice. Recently, we were given a monumental challenge: recruit 100 individuals for a massive promotional event in Auckland’s CBD with just one week to prepare. Spoiler alert: we delivered.

The Challenge

The task came with unique requirements. Not only did we need to source 100 people, but they also had to meet specific criteria, including height and size, to suit specific costumes for the event. Additionally, the short timeline meant we needed to advertise, screen, and onboard candidates in a really short timeframe. This wasn’t just recruitment; it was a logistical feat and required all functions of the business to pull together.

Adding to the excitement, the event was for the promotion of the new Netflix series Squid Game. The stakes were high, and we were determined to deliver excellence.

The Process

Achieving this goal required a combination of expertise, teamwork, and well-oiled internal processes. Here’s how we did it:

Casting the Net Wide
- We launched an extensive advertising campaign across multiple platforms, reaching thousands of potential candidates.
- Within days, we received a flood of applications, which our team meticulously reviewed to shortlist the most suitable individuals.
Thorough Screening
- Each applicant was assessed against the specific criteria provided by the client.
- We conducted initial interviews, checked identification and work rights, and collected references to ensure every candidate met the required standards.
Seamless Onboarding and On-Site Support
- Once selected, candidates were promptly registered, with all personal details and documentation securely processed.
- On the day of the event, we met all candidates on-site, helped induct them, and ensured they were ready for the shoot. This hands-on approach ensured everyone was prepared and confident to deliver their best.

The Result

Despite the tight timeline, we successfully recruited and onboarded all 100 individuals. On the day of the event, every single person showed up, ready to take part in the epic promotional video. The event ran smoothly, with both the client and the candidates expressing their satisfaction.
