How should I set a good event budget?
Use the hourly rate, shift duration, and role expectations to make sure your event attracts the right staff.
A strong event budget starts with a clear hourly rate and realistic shift length.
Higher-demand dates, late nights, specialist roles, travel, and short-notice events usually perform better with a stronger rate.
The review step shows the expected spend before you publish, so you can adjust the rate or requirements before staff see the event.
Key steps
- Estimate the number of staff and hours required.
- Set the hourly rate based on role difficulty, timing, and travel expectations.
- Review the budget summary before publishing.
- Update the event if applications are slower than expected.
