I bumped into this site randomly and found this amazingly working platform for job seekers. I am a music professional and the kind of offers i have been getting looks very professional and satisfying. I look forward to upgrade and get my hands on one of these. Wish all the very best to the team of "Mandy"
I have been a member of Mandy for a few months now and it is helpful in networking and finding jobs.
I was quite new to the acting business and Mandy really helped me find roles. I actually got my first feature film role through Mandy. Not only this but I got a few commercial roles too. I really think Mandy is probably the best platform for Actors.
Very nice website for bringing together film industry all over the world. If i can't get jobs at worst, site gives me inspiration about what people are doing..
After creating my profile on several jobs sites and just receiving a lot of spam on my mailbox, i found Mandy and OMG! It is truly a significant change for people like me in the film industry. A lot of opportunities to find freelance jobs, easy and organized platform.
Mandy's website gives a crisp clean no nonsense glance at jobs looking for actors for various roles on Film, Tv, Stage and other locations.
Jobs are briefly described then if you feel it's for you you can click on the ad to be taken to a fuller explanation as to what their client is looking for.
Jobs are varied but if you're looking for a particular type of work there is a search facility to help you find it. Good luck and break a leg folks.
They seem to have a lot of jobs of wildly varying quality, but you cant actually apply for any without being a premium member. So difficult for me to give a valid rating. But this review does give me a weeks worth of premium, so maybe ill update it when i have that access?
Mandy provides job information and networking opportunities that bridge the distance between being a thriving/out of work actor or model to gainful employment, representation, networking opportunities.
It It seems like I didn't get emails about good paying gigs when I was using the paid subscription portion, Seems like every time I'm unsubscribed from the paying portion is when I get them, Also some of the gigs that I have to upgrade for under the paid subscription I see them in so many other places where I can apply for them for free
My first impression is great, easy to use, a lot of jobs resource when searching for work in the entertainment, Film, TV fields. It takes a little while to set up your profile, but but it looks like it'll be worth it. Looking forward to future progress with Mandy.com
I have been on the site mailing list for some time and it has been good. I have gotten a couple of opportunities with the site.
There are a couple companies that have nothing to do with production post jobs, but overall I would recommend as some jobs I have not see on other sites.
Mandy has so many opportunities available aside from just castings. They also have castings that many of the other sites are showing so this is a great way to get all the available casting info, along with camps/programs... anything that can help you.
If you utilize free lance working and networking in your daily life then Mandy's can get an excellent resource for you. It attracts many jobs and many jobseekers and can support your free lancing needs it you apply regularly.
Give Mandy a go. Actors looking for representation, manager or simply to get booked for speaking roles. Put yourself out there and have fun with MANDY..
My name is Given and i am a creative from South Africa. Mandy is a great platform if you are seeking for employment internationally. Their platform is made simple for you and they keep you regularly updated with jobs that are within you're desired field. Join Mandy today and get exposed to opportunities that you have been waiting for.
Mandy use to be decent. But If you're a crew/talent this site is bad for you, I get more gigs out of just reaching out to personal networks. Crew members are exploited in this industry as it is, and yet a platform like Mandy makes it worse and harder for crew members to get gigs because it's locked into region based. Not to mention when you have to pay to have an "opportunity" at gigs and not a guarantee is quite unethical. The risk factor leans significantly towards a bad practice in the hiring process within this industry. As for Talent, you're already paying a % to your agent and now you have to pay again, that pretty much cuts into your pay, I know I wouldn't want to pay more just for a maybe. Ultimately I Tried it for 2 months to see if there is any changes from what I was already doing vs what this platform helps with, the results are no changes. Save yourself, and join FB groups it's free.
I created a new Mandy account in the hopes of finding more job opportunities as a crew. At first glance it looks pretty promising with the specificity of job titles listed under crew, but I also don't see that many jobs listed under the latest jobs. Still trying to dig deeper, hope it won't disappoint!
Mandy is very organized and offers a broad range of services and resources. I like that it allows you to tailor your searches pretty specifically when job searching, and it is very easy to update your credits and profile. I like that it is aesthetically pleasing and provides a lot of ways to navigate the site without being confusing.

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.

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.

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.
