Everything Event Master does,
in detail.

From the first application to the payroll export, here is every part of the platform. Everything on this page is included in every plan.

01 Recruit

Get the right people applying

Your own jobs site, a page for every event and a listing for every role, with one profile your applicants use everywhere.

Your own jobs site

A recruitment site for your company, hosted for you at your own address. Share one link on your socials and website.

  • Your branding

    Your logo, a banner and a description of your company, with links to your website and socials.

  • Every event in one place

    Your upcoming events and how many roles are open, plus the events you have run before.

  • Explain how you hire

    Add a wide banner showing applicants how your recruitment process works.

  • Private mode

    Hide the links to Event Master, so the site is all about you.

  • Easy to contact

    Show your phone number and contact email for applicants with questions.

  • Notify me

    Visitors can ask to be told when you open more roles, by email or by text.

Event pages

Every event gets its own page with everything candidates ask about before they apply.

  • Dates, location and details

    Set the dates and location, and describe the event in as much detail as you like.

  • What comes with the job

    Show whether a ticket, camping, car or van parking permits, a uniform or a deposit are part of it.

  • Cover images

    Upload a banner for desktop and another for mobile, so the page looks right on any screen.

  • Event handbook

    Attach a PDF handbook that every applicant can download.

  • Website and socials

    Link the event's own website, Facebook and Instagram.

  • Go live when ready

    Build the page in private, then switch it live when you open applications.

Roles and job listings

Add each role you are hiring for. It shows on the event page as soon as it goes live.

  • Rate and shifts

    Show an hourly rate or a range like £10 to £20, and the number of shifts. Both can be worked out from your rota.

  • Arrival, meals and deposit

    Set the check-in date and time, whether meals are included, and the deposit the role needs.

  • Open, close, show or hide

    Stop taking applications, or hide a role, without deleting it.

  • Minimum age

    Let 16 and 17 year olds apply for the roles where your company allows it.

  • Payroll details up front

    Ask applicants for their payroll details when they apply, so there is no chasing before payday.

  • Tags and targets

    Split a role with tags, like bar or cellar, and set how many people you need for each.

  • Volunteers

    Leave a role out of payroll lists and exports, for events with a mix of volunteers and paid staff.

  • Direct links

    Share a link straight to a role's application form.

Applying with an Event Master profile

Staff fill in one profile and use it for every application, so they never type the same details twice.

  • One profile

    About them, experience, contact details, right to work and payroll, filled in once.

  • CV and experience

    Applicants upload a CV, tick the experience they have and add anything else relevant.

  • References

    Contact details for referees who managed or supervised them.

  • Progress as they go

    Each section shows how complete it is and what is still missing.

  • Cover letter and priority

    Add a cover letter, and rank their choices when applying for more than one role at an event.

  • Consent built in

    Applicants confirm their details are accurate and grant you access to their profile.

  • Track every application

    Staff can check the status of each application, and withdraw or resubmit it.

02 Hire

Pick the best people, faster

Screen, score, check and accept applicants, with every decision recorded.

AI screening and scoring

Built into every plan at no extra cost.

  • AI application screening

    Every application is checked against your role criteria the moment it arrives.

  • Applicant scoring

    Each applicant gets a score, so the strongest candidates are at the top before you open a single CV.

Reviewing applications

Every event has its own applications list, so applicants for different events never get mixed up.

  • Clear statuses

    Move each application through Submitted, Reviewing, Accepted or Rejected.

  • A reason for every change

    Add a note when you change a status, so everyone knows why.

  • Full history

    See who changed each application, when, and what they wrote.

  • Filter and search

    Filter by skill, years worked, experience and references, or search by name.

  • Bulk changes

    Select applications and update their status, right to work or references in one go.

  • Everything on one card

    Cover letter, priority choice, tags, deposit and status, without opening anything else.

  • Apply on their behalf

    Create an application for a member of staff yourself.

  • Interested list

    See everyone who registered interest in an event, ready to invite them to apply.

  • Flag time wasters

    Frequent last-minute drop-outs, and blocklisted people reapplying under a different email address, are flagged so you can decide with the full picture.

Automated referencing

Check experience without phoning round.

  • One click

    A single click sends the referee a generated questionnaire to verify the applicant's experience.

  • From managers

    Applicants confirm that each referee was their manager or supervisor.

  • Answers on the profile

    Responses appear on the applicant's profile, with when you last asked.

  • Your requirements

    Choose how many references applicants must give, and whether a CV is required.

  • Get told

    Admins can be emailed when a reference arrives or changes.

Right to work and employment details

Collect what you need to employ someone, before they start.

  • Right to work

    Staff upload the documents that prove it, such as a passport, share code, birth certificate or National Insurance card.

  • Record your checks

    Mark each person's right to work as checked on their profile, or for a whole batch of applications at once.

  • Ready before they start

    Applicants cannot submit until their right to work section is complete, so nobody turns up on site unchecked.

  • Checked as they type

    National Insurance numbers and share codes are validated before they are saved.

  • PAYE or self-employed

    Choose whether your staff can be self-employed, and collect a UTR and an invoicing agreement if they are.

  • Student loans

    Staff answer the student loan questions your payroll needs.

  • Age checks

    Applicants under 18 are kept out of the roles that need adults.

From the campsite to the main stage.
