The patent-pending Temporary Assistance Guru platform connects hiring companies with staffing agencies on a city-wide basis.
The game-changing Temporary Assistance Guru (TAG) platform promises to change how large-scale corporations, arenas, conference centers, and yes, even NFL stadiums, hire temporary and contract workers.

At a time when unemployment claims are at a record high—spiking 33% week-over-week in mid-March according to a report published by the U.S. Department of Labor—Temporary Assistance Guru might just be a solution to get thousands of people back to work quickly.
Nearly three years ago, TAG’s President and CEO Megan Hayward, who’s founded and held executive-level positions at staffing agencies nationwide, saw a gap in how the temporary staffing marketplace operates. “Venue and catering managers are stretched—they don’t have time to liaison with staffing companies and oversee the sheer numbers of temps they hire on any given day,” she says. “Instead of continuing to do business as usual, I focused my efforts on developing software that would address industry-wide issues. TAG is a time- and budget-conscious solution to streamline the entire process.”

Here’s how the patent-pending TAG online tool works: Let’s say a hiring company, like a football stadium, inputs a work order for 300 temporary catering temps for a single game day. Immediately, local staffing agencies see the order, effectively giving the stadium access to a city full of qualified and available temporary workers, with the click of a button. “If you’re hiring 300 temps, you might be dealing with 10 to 15 staffing agencies, contracts and billing rates,” Hayward says. “Get ready to say good-bye to all that.”
