FOUR QUESTIONS TO ASK EVERY EVENT COMPANY
If the company you use does not carry professional liability insurance, there is an additional risk to you.
You incur considerable risk using a company which classifies its staff as 1099 contractors rather than W2 employee.
Any company can hire people and put them out on jobs, but your expectations may be higher than what they provide. You always want to know how much experience the company has in the industry and what service level standards they require of their staff.
The service you select should be doing pre-employment screening which includes criminal background checks.
