Reelu Unveils Innovative Multilingual Staffing Solutions for Events

In the ever-evolving landscape of international events and exhibitions, the need for adaptable staffing solutions has never been more crucial. Reelu, a Tokyo-based firm, is addressing this demand with a newly introduced plan that enables companies to easily secure multilingual reception and service staff, priced at an engaging hourly rate of ¥1,800. Here’s an in-depth look at what this entails.

Meeting the Market Demand

As global attendance at exhibitions increases, so do the complexities involved in handling diverse clientele. Reelu's initiative provides tailored staffing options where businesses can choose between two primary roles—Multilingual Reception Staff and Interpreters.

Multilingual Reception Staff serve as the first point of contact for attendees, ensuring smooth interactions without the need for in-depth translation. They handle basic inquiries, direct visitors, and provide concise descriptions of products and services.

On the other hand, Interpreters are deployed for specialized situations requiring more detailed communication, such as negotiations or technical discussions with overseas buyers, ensuring that all parties are well-informed throughout the process.

Tailored Staffing Strategy

Reelu's well-defined strategy involves two core components:
1. Multilingual Reception Staff (Rate: ¥1,800/hour)
- Assist in welcoming and guiding visitors.
- Provide simple product information in foreign languages.
- Support booth operations and communication facilitation.

2. Interpreters (Rate: ¥6,000/hour)
- Conduct consecutive interpretation for meetings and complex briefings.
- Ensure accurate communication during negotiations with foreign clients.

This flexible approach allows event coordinators to mix and match staff roles based on real-time needs, optimizing both operational costs and the quality of visitor experience.

Real-World Application: The Japan Mobility Show

The recent Japan Mobility Show at Tokyo Big Sight serves as an exemplary case for Reelu’s staffing effectiveness. The company matched approximately 130 multilingual reception staff to ensure a seamless experience for the diverse audience that attended the event.

By combining interpreters only when necessary—specifically for vital discussions—Reelu succeeded in maintaining high service standards while controlling operational expenses.

Feedback from the partnering firms highlighted the essential mix of language proficiency and customer service skills necessary to address the complexities of such a multifaceted event.

As one business representative noted, “We required staff who were not only capable of translation but who could also engage with visitors actively to enhance their overall experience.” This approach reflects the growing trend in event management where quality communication is paramount.

Challenges and Opportunities in Staffing

One persistent challenge for event organizers remains the fluctuation of staffing needs, which can change right up to the event date. Reelu’s streamlined process allows for rapid staff placement, with hiring just one day after a request. This flexibility meets the evolving demands of modern event management, where companies need the agility to adjust their personnel on the fly.

For example, recent listings included roles that required bilingual professionals fluent in Japanese, English, and even Mandarin, reflecting the diverse backgrounds of attendees.

Bridging Cultural Gaps

Reelu aims to empower Japanese companies to establish connections with international markets, thereby helping to foster a robust economic environment. Through the provision of skilled multilingual staff, businesses can enhance engagement with foreign clients and partners, ultimately contributing to Japan’s global presence.
