Honest, useful and independent. Here is what that means in practice.
These are the rules every guide, news story and tool on eventstaffing.com is held to. If you find a page that falls short of them, tell us. That is how we get better.
Six things you can expect from every page
Independent
Agencies pay to list. They can’t pay for coverage, rankings or reviews, and sales staff never see a story before it runs.
Reviewed by people who work events
Every guide is checked by someone who has done the job it describes. Their name and review date are on the page.
Dated and re-checked
Pay pages are re-checked every quarter. Pages on rules and licensing are re-checked whenever the rule changes.
Show the working
Every figure links to its source. If a number is our estimate, we say so and explain how we got it.
Plain language
We write for someone reading on a break between shifts. Short sentences, no jargon without a definition.
Software helps, people decide
We use software to help research, draft and check pages. A named editor is responsible for every page, and nothing is published unread.
How we make money, and the rules that come with it
Agencies pay to list and post jobs. Brands can sponsor newsletters and tools. Paid placements are labelled every time, never appear inside articles, and nobody can buy coverage, a ranking or a review.
Corrections
Report an errorNo corrections yet. When there are, every one is listed here with its date.
How to report a mistake
You don’t need to be sure, and you don’t need to be an expert. If something looks wrong or out of date, we would much rather hear about it.
- Send us the pageEmail corrections@eventstaffing.com with a link to the page and the line that looks wrong.
- Tell us what you knowA link to a rule or a document helps. So does what you have seen on the job; plenty of our fixes start with someone saying “that’s not how it works in my state.”
- We check it against the sourceAn editor goes back to the original source, not to our own page. If we need more from you, we ask.
- We fix it in the openIf we got it wrong, the page is corrected, a dated note says what changed, and the correction is listed above.
- We tell you what happenedYou hear back either way: what we changed, or why we think the page is right and where that comes from.
Questions about our standards
Spelling and formatting fixes don’t. Anything that changes a fact, a figure or the meaning of a sentence does, with the date and what changed.
Like anyone, they can point out a factual error and we will check it the same way. Paying to list never changes what a page says, how anything is ranked or whether we cover something.
No. Sponsors can support a newsletter or a tool, and that placement is labelled every time. Articles are never paid for and never carry ads inside them.
