We had the pleasure of working with RM&A for the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival 2026, where they supported us with the recruitment and deployment of 100+ event staff across multiple operational roles. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly responsive, organized, and professional. Within a short turnaround time, they successfully sourced and closed key positions including zone managers, registration staff & managers, guest relations ushers, queue management staff, access control personnel, stage runners, and other operational support roles. What stood out the most was the quality and professionalism of the staff provided. Each individual arrived well-prepared, punctual, and fully committed to ensuring a smooth experience for our attendees and speakers. During the festival days, their team remained proactive and supportive, ensuring any last-minute requirements were handled quickly and efficiently. Their ability to understand the operational needs of a large-scale festival and deliver reliable manpower made a significant difference to our event execution.
