Types of Employment
Freelance
A freelancer is an independent contractor who has set up their business as a sole trader or limited company rather than being committed to any employer long-term. You will have to register with HMRC and invoice for your time in line with any Purchase Order your client has raised It’s also worth noting that freelancers may be asked for proof of their own insurances such as Professional Indemnity and/or Public Liability
Full-time
Many roles within Events are offered on a permanent full-time basis. The typical work pattern is standard office hours (Mon-Fri, 9-5), with extra time (in the evening or at the weekend) usually required in the period leading up to an event.

Routes to Industry
Direct Employment
One of the routes into the Events Industry is via direct employment. This is when a vacancy arises and candidates are sought for the position. An Events organiser, venue or supplier may choose to advertise the vacancy themselves and handle all hiring processes internally; alternatively, they may employ the services of a recruitment agency to handle the talent acquisition. The hiring process is similar, regardless of which option is used. Typically, when a vacancy arises, it is advertised by the employer on their website and via other popular channels such as LinkedIn, job noticeboards and social media platforms. Details relating to the role will be stated, including a detailed job specification, essential/desirable criteria, salary range and any other details specific to the role or employer. Application may be through an employer portal, online form, or the sending of CV and cover letter via email. Following the initial screening process, shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview, either in-person or online, after which they will either receive a job offer or be rejected from the position. For more senior roles, there may also be a second-stage interview, and possibly even the requirement to demonstrate skills or knowledge via a presentation. If a recruitment agency has been used by the employer, candidates have usually been specifically headhunted for the role, or at the very least have gone through a stringent preliminary screening process, ensuring only those with relevant skills and experience are put forward for interview. Many employers prefer this option as it can make the hiring process much more streamlined and efficient. It is for this reason that some Events companies have now established their own Talent Acquisition teams.
