Project Casting is changing – here is what you need to know.
Six years ago, Project Casting started off as a blog where aspiring actors can find jobs in the entertainment industry for free.
Since then, we have grown into a community of well over 300,000 monthly visitors, over 500,000 job opportunities, and the become exclusive source for dozens of hit TV shows, movies, and commercials.
We realized we could do better. We could make it even easier for aspiring actors to find jobs in the entertainment industry and for companies to find the right talent.
As a result, we have spent the last year building a custom built platform designed for the entertainment industry. The new features center around three main points user profiles, job listings, and connections.
User Profiles
You will now have the opportunity to create a FREE profile on Project Casting. You will be able to upload up to 3 photos, and a demo reel for free.
Job Listings
Casting directors, companies, talent agencies and film schools will now have the opportunity to post a job directly to Project Casting. Our free service will allow casting companies to send email alerts. Based on the job description, Project Casting will automatically send out an email campaign to only those that match the job description. In turn, we are making it more accessible, faster and quicker for companies to find the right talent.
Connections
Our most significant improvement is our exclusive connection system. Companies, film schools, and talent agencies gain access to our AI-based recommendation system. Based on your previous job postings, we will share talent you should know. Making it even easier to find the right talent for your next project.
Also, our system includes a free messaging platform. Allowing users to connect with one another, faster, more comfortable and more quickly than any other hiring platform in the entertainment industry to date.
The new Project Casting website will also include #Connections! Our system will connect you with directors, actors, filmmakers, photographers, casting directors working in the industry that you should know!
Reviews
The new Project Casting website will feature the ability to leave reviews on actors, models, and production companies. Our goal is to not only make it easier to join the film industry but also make it a safer place as well!
Premium features
With these new free features, it has allowed us to provide us with additional benefits to our premium users. Premium users will have enhanced benefits including unlimited photos, videos, resume hosting, job alerts, and analytics.
Users will be able to see who viewed the profile, upload multiple photos and videos, and even host their resume. Premium users also receive a verification badge and appear higher in search results. Giving those, who are interested in boosting their chances, success.
Premium companies will also have the opportunity to post multiple job listings each week and send/receive files through our messaging platform.
Overall
Our goal is to make the hiring process even more accessible. Project Casting’s latest updates are just the beginning of our commitment to being more than just a site for job listings but move Project Casting forward as a technology company that makes it easier to find jobs, connect with talent and learn about the industry.
