I'm very new to Mandy only starting to understand how it works. Great opportunities to see what jobs are available but I do feel the monthly cost is quite expensive.
Hi everyone! I can say that Mandy.com is amazing professional network for professionals. I was using that resource for a two years and I find the service very useful.
There are great opportunities listed and it's very easy to use.
Hi Eugene, What a lovely thing to hear. If you can think of any way you feel we could improve please do let us know at [email protected]
I just started using Mandy and so far I am intrigued. It's much more tailored than other job searching services to help freelancers find work, especially when just breaking into the business. However, the biggest downside is that it's free to look, however, if you want to apply for a job, you have to pay a subscription fee. It really should be free to apply for a job. Or at least offer a way to email those who created the posting.

While, I have used mandy since 2003, I found it hard to pay to see better listings, mandy was great when it was a non paying site; however, in looking at it again, I signed up and I received no greeting email, to have password, I tried to info them@ their *******@mandy.com, and it was returned:
<*******@mandy.com>:
550:5. 1. 1 <*******@mandy.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table
Mr. Timms and company, have the monies to keep this up and running, why is it not?
Hello there, [email protected] is unfortunately no longer monitored. It also looks like you may have misspelled the email initially. Please contact us at [email protected] and I'm sure we can sort everything out for you.
As a pro voiceover actor with agent representation I usually shy away from online job platforms, but somehow, having had a basic profile on Mandy I have been approached by for a couple of potential situations which have awakened my curiosity. A lot of the jobs on offer are so lowly paid that no serious, self-respecting VO actor would touch them, but THERE ARE SOME at market rates, so I have decided to pay to upgrade my membership, in order to explore those more serious opportunities. I will try it for a bit and then decide and update this review with the results. Meanwhile, I feel Mandy is worth looking into, and the site seems uncluttered and easy to use, which is a great start.
Hi Marcos, Thank you for such a fair and honest review! I wish you all the best with your job search. Remember the rates are set by the employers and it is entirely up to you to decide what is worth your time. If you have any questions, please do get in touch at [email protected]
Finding jobs or opportunities in the film industry is extremely difficult. However, after signing up with Mandy.com, I got responses jobs I applied for a DAY later, showing their interest, and I don't have much professional experience.
Hi Dale, Brilliant! I'm so glad you are finding the Network of so much use! If you ever need any help please do keep in contact at [email protected]
I'm new to the entertainment industry. I thought that starting with a platform like this would be a good and easy way to get connected with the right people. It said it was free so of course I jumped on the opportunity. Then when I start applying for jobs I find out I have to upgrade to get access to all the jobs, mainly the ones with pay. Without the upgrade in membership your opportunities are very limited.
Hi Kylie, Thank you for your feedback. As a Standard user, you are able to apply for any work posted to our opportunities boards which can be a brilliant way of building contacts as you begin your career if you do not feel ready to upgrade. I do appreciate your feedback, however, if you want to chat it over further please do get in contact at [email protected]
With a 1 year membership coming to a close I can safely say I have applied for approx 3457 jobs (average 10 per day) with 2 low paid student jobs.
Today I received an email alert for a Flight Attendant Role@£100 only to discover when applying it was for a female and not a male.
The other email i received today was a requset for 'Extras' (how derogetory) when I have an Actor's Membership - not an SA profile.
And then when you get jobs offering NLW £70 per day advertised to professioanl actors it just p*sses me off. This is what Starnow offers and Mandy was meant to be Professioanl - thats the membership I paid for.
Fed up with this, going back to Spotlight for real job opportunities.
Hi Real, Thank you for your frank and honest feedback. I can completely understand the frustration here, as it is hugely competitive in the performance industry currently. I am a little concerned about you receiving a mailout for the wrong gender so I would appreciate it if you could contact us via [email protected] so we can look into the issue for you?
A lot of my first few acting jobs after graduating from drama school came from casting calls on Mandy. This really helped me to build my portfolio and in turn, i made some amazing contacts and have been approached by professionals wanting to work with me after seeing me in a production that was originally found on Mandy. If your starting out, and want to build those credits, dont hesitate, sign up!
Hi Shalana, What great feedback! I'm so happy that we could be so useful in boosting your career. Don't forget to keep in touch at [email protected] if you ever need anything!
It makes you give a lot of personal information to be able to see the jobs. After you passed all the process, it doesn't let you to even read the full job description without paying. Really, don't waste your time here.
Hello Verogalo, Thank you for your honest feedback. Our profiles are designed to be a form of online CV for you which is why we ask for information in the early stages, and a Standard membership does give you access to our Opportunities boards. I do however appreciate your feedback and will, of course, pass it on. If you want to talk it over with us please do contact us at [email protected]
I think Mandy is a great networking platform for any Tv or photography jobs with some great job opportunities
Hi Tanya, Thank you for your lovely feedback, I'm really glad to hear that you are finding good opportunities with us. Please let us know if you ever need any assistance at [email protected]
Hardly any offers, the price is too high and not worth the money.
You shouldn't have to pay to get connected to the right job.
It's not right. It's a scam.
Parasitic company.
