The company has established a reputation as a valuable resource for freelancers in the media production industry, with many users appreciating the variety of job opportunities and the user-friendly platform. However, there are significant concerns regarding the effectiveness of job placements, as several customers report difficulties in securing paid work despite numerous applications. Additionally, issues with customer service, particularly in terms of accessibility and responsiveness, have been highlighted as major drawbacks. Overall, while the platform offers potential for networking and job discovery, the lack of support and inconsistent job outcomes detract from the user experience.

I just started using Mandy and I love it to find acting jobs near me (we'll see if I actually get anywhere though) It provides a clear description of all casting calls and users can apply with the click of a button, which provides employers access to your profile. From there, employers can directly reach out to you to help you jumpstart your career or progress it forward!
Hello Mandy. I wanted to created a profile and started doing so. The amount of your "stars" and many of the reviews available on your site worried me a great deal. So I submitted a question and it has been 2 days you cannot answer it. I obviously quit an idea of registering with you not speaking of paying for any of your services. People seem to be right, you guys are not even serious and you want "customers" to pay for premium package?... Good luck finding customers with this approach!
Hello Maria, Thank you for your review, I am quite concerned that you have not received a response to your query with our customer service team. Please call us on +44(0)20 7288 7404 (UK); (347) 534-1417 (USA) or email us directly at [email protected], any of our team members would be happy to speak to you!
Through Mandy, I could never get any decent job that pays over $200/day. I'm a professional sound mixer, by saying this I meant it - I have SD664, multiple DPA/lectrosonic lavs and timecode sync. There is no decent job here, the on-site email system is preventing your employer to contact you becuase I also tired to hire someone through Mandy.com - it is absolutely not a pleasure experience.
Also last week I got an email from a guy claims that he is from Mandy.com and trying to offer me a job which later discovered as a scam, or a drug dealer becuase he asked me to "move money to his vendor".
Hello David, Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you have had a bad experience with our Network. We do post Jobs at all levels of the industry so the pay does vary. I am concerned by your report of a possible scam artist contacting you via the site. Please do contact us at [email protected] so that we can investigate fully.
There needs to be a more collaborative effort in job postings in film, whoever created this site was trying to find a way to profit off of job searches. You can't even see or apply to postings without upgrading to premium. I'm trying to find work, it shouldn't cost me anything to look for work.
Hello Joe, Thank you for your comments, I am sorry to hear you feel this way. If you have any suggestions on how we can make our site more user-friendly, please do feel free to contact us at [email protected]
Absolutely phenomenal site with amazing opportunities for actresses and models. Especially good for young people. Lovely layout and website look-makes it simple and easy to navigate and find jobs right for you.
Hi Amy, Thank you for such a lovely review! Please keep in touch at [email protected] if you ever need anything!
Just had a freelancer call me thinking I was hiring said they where contacted by this site
Said they where asked to make a donation before they where put in touch with me.
Freelancer contacted me direct via my site. That's how I found out
Maybe Mandy is scam or hacked either way I had to report this to Internet fraud
Freelancer was kind enough to forward all the emails.
Be carful guys
Hi Brendon, thanks for taking the time to report this. Mandy.com does not ask for upfront "donations" in order to be connected to employers - please get in touch with us via [email protected] so that we can look into this further.
They really are a brilliant site definitely recommend them are a real good stepping stone and provide a lot of opportunities
Hi Tamiah,
Thanks for your review! Please get in touch with us via [email protected] if we can help in the future.
Mandy promotes a constant stream of acting opportunities, some are well paid opportunities that could really help advance your acting career but they are in amongst a lot of unpaid student/voluntary jobs, so you have to sift through them. Their emailing system updates you by condensing relevant acting jobs saving you having to trawl through the website which is good.
Hi Amberli, thanks for your review! Our jobs are split into two board, our Paid Jobs and Opportunities (low/no pay), to allow these to be easier to navigate via the site. It's great to hear you like our email alerts! If we can help with anything else please let us know via [email protected].
They are scammers and do not honor their offers. Also, no industry insiders recommend such a site that scams people who want to find work.
Hi Tanya, I'm sorry you feel this way. Please contact us at [email protected] so that we may assist further.
Love this site I think it gives kids a great opportunity and there's lots of contacts and different opportunities to get noticed
Hello Marcie, That really is lovely to hear! Please keep in contact at [email protected]
I've been working with Mandy for a few years and I have to say that they have never let me down not even once. They are worth the money to help me with my work!
Hi John, Thank you for such a glowing review! Please do keep in touch at [email protected]
There are so many jobs on the site that are great and some are not so good but honestly it's luck!
Hi Abena, Thank you for your review! Our advice is always to keep going, you never know what treasure you can find! If you can think of ways we could improve, please do get in contact at [email protected]
Mandy makes it so easy to find audition notices and opportunities that you otherwise may never see, thanks to the easy to navigate site and email alerts!
Hello Francis, thank you for such a lovely review! Keep in touch we are available by email at [email protected]
I'm a professional makeup artist and get job notifications almost daily from Mandy. They are legit jobs and yes I've booked worked thru Mandy from these very notifications. I suggest trying Mandy you won't be disappointed.

Hi Ricky, Thank you for the great review! Let us know if you ever need anything at [email protected]
What no one says is that Mandy offers people 7 days of free use if you leave a review... hence all the positive reviews. Let's be clear, real job boards get their money from people posting jobs, not from desperate job seekers. I'm sure people find jobs, but my guess is most of them are low paying and short term.
Hello Dave, Thank you for your honest review. I'm sorry that you feel this way. SiteJabber does not allow reviews for free time so the offer you referred to is not on offer for this site. If you have any suggestions on ways we can improve please do get in contact at [email protected]
Having just finished University, Mandy has been a great tool for me to search and find appropriate roles for me. I have been able to get in touch with companies and individual that work within the industry and been contacted by many as well. Mandy seems to be the best website for finding jobs with the industry and putting yourself and your work out there.
What a lovely review, thank you so much. If you can think any ways you would like us to improve please do get in contact at [email protected]
Mandy is a great way to take your career in entertainment to another level. Then, when you add in the fact that there is money to make, it makes the site even more attractive.
Hello Barrier, What a lovely review! If you ever need any support please get in contact at [email protected]
I was pleased to see the professionalism with the casting calls on the Mandy network. It leaves you with great confidence over other, less notorious casting networks. There is a vast array of castings everyday on Mandy to suit all.
Hello Ashley, Thank you for such a lovely review, we do strive to provide a professional space for all industry professionals. Please do keep in touch at [email protected]
Mandy is an overall great resource for professionals in the entertainment industry. They seem to have listings for jobs across the spectrum, from small, personal needs to larger companies. The only issue I have so far is the price point, it does seem too expensive for a monthly account. It would be nice if they added a student discount or new membership discounts.
Hello Joy, Thank you for your honest review. I'm glad to hear you find our Network so useful. If you have any other ideas of how we can improve, please do contact us at [email protected]
Came across Mandy by accident really but have found them to be great and would certainly recommend them to others.
Very user friendly site and some great job opportunities available for my son.
Hello Emma, Thank you for your lovely review, I'm so glad it's been so useful for you and your son. Do keep in touch at [email protected] if you ever need any help.

Answer: Hi Chloe, Apologies for the delay in reply. You can indeed! Your membership will simply revert to a Standard membership which does not block employers from contacting you, nor does it affect existing applications. Please contact us at [email protected] if we can support you with anything else. Kind Regards, Roz - Mandy Customer Service Lead
Answer: I paid the subscription fee for a year, mainly so I can get speaking parts on any kind of production. I don't even care if they're mostly student productions, as I get film footage from them, which is very usable. However, if you're thinking of paying the subscription fee to get paid work, I would advise against it. You will not get much paid work through Mandy. If you want paid work, you're better off getting an office job that will pay far more than the NMW that's offered by most productions. I can't wait to get my necessary named speaking roles so I can join Spotlight!
Answer: Hi Paula, Thank you for taking the time to contact us. The Mandy Network is a platform where you can connect to other professionals in the industry to advance your career. As we are not a direct casting director or agency, we do not select who is successful for any role posted with us. We do indeed have a large number of users in both the US and the UK, but we do have our international region for members from all over the world! I hope this helps. Please do reach out to us at [email protected] if we can support you with anything else.
Answer: Hi Julia, Thanks for getting in touch. There are 2 sorts of Job-related emails we will send you. Our Daily/Weekly Opportunities round ups are not tailored to your profile, however, you can turn these off or change their frequency via your Profile settings. Your Job Alert emails, on the other hand, are tailored to your profile and are sent out as soon as the job is posted. If you are looking to better tailor your Job Alerts, please go to your 'About me/Skills' section and update the 'Interested in' and 'Experienced in' section so that we have the information necessary to send you the best jobs for you. If we can help further, please reach out to us via [email protected].
Answer: Hello Gary, thank you for your question. It is free to post a job with us, though we have premium options available for recruiters wishing to give their job post a little boost. If you would like to find out more please contact [email protected]
Answer: In other words no. It is NOT free for employers? They charge both employers and crew but guarantee nothing to the person's looking for work.
Answer: Hi Anna, thanks for your question, we'll be happy to help. Please refer to the status indicator when looking at Jobs > Applications, as this will give further information as to whether an application has been viewed or shortlisted. If you see the status is "Viewed", this means the employer has reviewed your application. If you have any further questions please get in touch at [email protected].
