RMG Staffing Celebrates 10 Years of Providing Great Service
Time definitely flies. When RMG Staffing first started out our office was quite small. You could have counted the total number of our team with one hand. The year was 2008 and quite honestly, it was the worst year for anyone to start a business due to the financial crisis brought on by the real estate bubble of that previous year. But despite the harsh economic circumstances, Ricardo Michelangeli foresaw an opportunity to make money and also provide jobs to a city that was in desperate need of economic recovery. “People thought I was crazy,” RMG Staffing President Ricardo Michelangeli expresses about his companies early beginnings. “And it was very difficult starting out.” According to Mr. Michelangeli the atmosphere of the staffing industry in South Florida was doing as bad as the rest of the economy ten years ago. Events in Miami were few so therefore companies were not looking for staffing agencies to provide them with anything. Also, the hotels were experiencing a great number of low occupancies. Tourists continued to visit the city and its beaches but they were doing so in low volumes. But Mr. Michelangeli knew businesses were eventually going to recover, and he also knew South Florida was missing a staffing agency that operated as a boutique and yet had the networking reach as a large corporate entity. “Getting our first client wasn’t as difficult as keeping them,” Mr. Michelangeli explains. “Though we certainly knew what we were doing, growth requires learning. Problem-solving requires us to think outside the box and in doing so, you have to be honest with yourself. You have to know when to ask for help. You have to be open to making mistakes, which makes it easier to find ways to fix them. We certainly made mistakes in the beginning but because of our passion, the long hours at a small office and our resilience to provide great service to our initial clients we were able to succeed. Look at us now.” In its ten years of existence, RMG Staffing has grown from a tiny office with a small staff to a boutique agency that functions as a large corporation and has a large staff occupying a grand office space in Miami’s luxurious metropolitan Brickell neighborhood. Also, RMG Staffing’s client list has certainly exploded in growth. From small companies to large corporations, hotels hosting cute gatherings to big events, RMG Staffing has provided excellent services to various clients. “I have had the pleasure of working with RMG Staffing as our preferred vendor for over 8 years for staffing needs for our hotel as well as one of our sister properties. Everyone at RMG Staffing understands our specific culture and what we are looking for in service delivery and he or she works to fill the needs properly the first time. Our collaborative relationship makes doing business together easy and effortless,” Jeff Klein says about the company. “Working with RMG Staffing has been an enjoyable experience that I plan on continuing for many years to come.” Ten years and counting and the best is still yet to come.

Spread the Word: Help RMG Help End Lupus
A recently published study concluded that lupus is among the leading causes of death in young women between the ages of 15 and 24. It found that 28,411 young women died due to lupus in 2000 to 2015, ranking lupus as the 10th leading cause of death for women in that age group. RMG Event Staffing Agency is a huge supporter of Lupus Foundation of America and its efforts to bring awareness to lupus. We are also a proud participant of the annual Walk to End Lupus. Funded by Lupus Foundation of America the study also revealed that among black and Hispanic women with lupus ranked 5th in the 15 through 24 age group, 6th in the 25 through 34 ages group, and 8th-9th in the 35 through 44 ages groups, after excluding the three common external injury causes of death from analysis. Overall, lupus was among the top 20 leading causes of death in females between the age of 5 and 64. This study’s revelations on the effects of lupus on black and Hispanic women is one of the many reasons why last year our excellent staff walked in the Miami segment of the event and we can’t wait to do it again this fall. The Walk to End Lupus is held once a year in various cities across the United States but in order to ultimately help find a cure for lupus, the foundation needs our daily help to bring awareness to lupus. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can impact any part of the body. It affects millions of people worldwide and is challenging to live with an extremely difficult to treat. Despite the widespread prevalence of lupus and seriousness of the disease, rarely is it recognized as one of the leading-causes-of-death in young women between the ages of 15 and 24. At times a large percentage of deaths from lupus get attributed with the consequences of kidney failure or heart attacks. This study will help open the eyes of those who are not aware of lupus. In addition to awareness, the study goal is to highlight the seriousness of this potentially life-threatening lupus disease. Currently, lupus is not in the CDC’s annual selected list of causes of death for women. With the continued efforts of the Lupus Foundation of America and the supporting group of organizations, businesses and individuals more awareness can be raised and as a result, government leaders will form new policies that will enable more funding for research that will ultimately lead to a cure. That is why we at RMG Event Staffing look for every opportunity to spread the word and the message the foundation is trying to get across.
How to Improve Your Job Search Results
RMG Staffing has been in the hospitality and staffing industry for more than a decade. With a wonderful and dedicated team, we have and will continue to provide exceptional service to our clients. In addition to making our clients feel like rock stars, RMG Staffing is blessed to be in a position where we can dramatically improve the careers of those who want to excel in South Florida’s hospitality industry. We also try to give excellent career advice to every prospective employee that walks through our doors. One of the many pieces of advice we offer is ways to improve one’s job search. Here are four key ways to jump-starting your career in the right path. 1. Focus on the High-Return Job Efforts Job boards have less than a 5% effectiveness rate while networking has more than a 50% effectiveness rate. Start by selecting 10 to 30 companies where you would love to work. Do a company search on LinkedIn and identify the decision makers and their staff. Follow the company and people on LinkedIn and Facebook, join their groups and conversations, and comment on their blogs. 2. Review Your Online Presence Studies show that 88% of employers Google prospective employees’ names so make sure you have a completed LinkedIn profile. Check your various social media presences and be careful of the content you post. Take down or change any comments that reflect poorly on you. 3. Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile Would you show up if a recruiter was searching through LinkedIn to find people for the position you are seeking? Try it and if you are not on the first or second page, go back to your profile and add keywords to increase your ranking. A simple trick is to look at the profiles of the people who rank well and follow their examples. 4. Create Measurable Goals Stay disciplined. Set goals. For example, “I will make 15 networking calls and have two weekly meetings.” Make sure you are focusing on high-impact efforts like networking versus job board submissions. Keep a record of your efforts so if an employer calls, you can quickly determine when and how they were contacted.
On The Scene with RMG Staffing: Veuve Clicquot Carnaval
Imagine sipping sparkling rosé champagne while mingling with the hottest celebrities in the entertainment world as a remarkable group of Colombian salsa dancers shake their bodies in effortless motion to the sound of Latin rhythms and pop music. On March 21, the renowned Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin French Champagne brand produced their fourth annual Veuve Clicquot Carnaval. Over 4,000 locals, celebrities, and influencers attended the event which was held at Museum Park. “This year, we were excited to expand the event overall,” Aygline Pechdo, vice president at Veuve Clicquot USA stated in a press release. “Our goal is to cultivate a unique, vibrant, and exciting experience for our attendees and continue to grow Clicquot Carnaval into the most highly-anticipated and must-attend event in Miami, year after year.” The festive gathering was in support of Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and our dedicated team at RMG Staffing was very much honored to have provided the staff for the event. Those in attendance included Insecure actress Issa Rae, Tessa Thompson from the blockbuster movies such as Creed and Thor: Ragnarok, Edgar Ramirez, Joan Smalls, Nacho Figueras, and Tyson Beckford. Also in attendance were social media influencers, journalists, and socialites. “We provided the staff for the Pegasus World Cup Invitational horse race that was held at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach earlier this year,” President of RMG Staffing Ricardo Michelangeli stated. “Veuve Clicquot Carnaval is another luxurious event that attracts successful leaders in various industries. The event has strong brand recognition and Veuve Clicquot is a five-star company that provides premium champagnes. The event was executed to perfection and we were honored to have been chosen to provide the staff that serviced the wonderful attendees.” Along with the salsa dancers, additional entertainment was provided by DJ and fashion tastemaker May Kwok and a live drumming display that included a group of drummers who maneuvered through the crowd, daring the attendees not to dance to the sound their pulsating beats. Veuve Clicquot used the event to celebrate their 200th anniversary of the world’s first blended rosé champagne, which was established in 1818. Italian luxury fashion house FENDI was also there to feature their FENDI x Veuve Clicquot Rosé Charm. The Rosé Charm is a stunning little bag charm colored in Veuve Clicquot’s iconic pink rosé hue. It’s made of soft pastel pink fox fur, with polka-dot motif in shades of orange and tone-on-tone leather lace and includes a palladium-finish spring clip with an engraved Fendi logo tag. The first Veuve Clicquot Carnaval was in 2015. The company brought the event to Miami to pay homage to the city’s tropical atmosphere and international flare. RMG Staffing was pleased to have participated in the event, and we can’t wait for 2019’s celebration.
PAMM “Art of the Party” by Valentino
If there’s one thing Miami does well, it’s galas… and on April 1st, the Magic City threw the see-and-be-seen gala of the year. Hosted by the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), this event, Art of the Party presented by Valentino, is the museum’s largest fundraiser. For more information about RMG Staffing or to hire us for your next event in Miami, contact us! It makes sense when you find out why—not only did the event pay homage to contemporary artist Lorna Simpson (a woman whose work has been vitally important to the evolution of PAMM for the last twenty years), but it featured an exclusive Chef’s Table seated dinner, a Supper Club Lounge and the “Remix” after-party (all three of which were conceptualized by Miami favorite Lee Brian Schrager); attracted 1,000 of the art world’s most exemplary philanthropists and connoisseurs; and included culinary collaborations by two of the greats, STARR Catering Group and Chef Michael Schwartz. If that weren’t enough, the second-floor exhibits turned into a chic interactive art studio with live music by DJ Phaxas, a virtual reality painting activation, and portrait artists. When the after-party kicked off, so did the sweets: tables piled high with local treats from Azucar Ice Cream Company, Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop, Madruga Bakery, MdoughW, and Michael’s Genuine® Food & Drink. And with all that, everyone was in attendance: from Usher, Princess Firyal of Jordan, and Miami Heat player Justise Winslow, to singer Justine Skye, Ana Navarro, and the Mayor of Miami-Dade County, Carlos A. Giménez. It was by far the most successful installment of this annual event, with the most guests recorded in attendance, and raised $1.1M for PAMM’s robust education program, which just happens to be the largest outside the Miami-Dade County school system. As proud partners of Starr Catering Group, we here at RMG Staffing take pride in helping facilitate A-list South Florida events like these. With nearly a decade of experience staffing Miami’s most sought-after parties, PAMM’s Art of the Party presented by Valentino gave us yet another opportunity to do what we do best: make it run smoothly. From setting up and breaking down the venue, serving guests and working the bar, to serving food, playing host or hostess, directing guests to their appropriate table, and above all, making sure VIPs and celebrities feel comfortable and welcoming, we were there on hand to provide anything the organizers (or the guests!) needed. And like always at RMG… we were happy to help. This event took place on Saturday, April 1st, at 6:30 p.m. Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is located at 1103 Biscayne Boulevard, right on Biscayne Bay.
