Introduction to Temporary Assistance Guru
Temporary Assistance Guru (TAG) is a W-2 compliant event staffing marketplace that powers live events across 300+ markets in the United States and Canada. By uniting 200+ local staffing agencies into one platform, TAG delivers reliable crews, full compliance, and one invoice—without the chaos of gig labor.
