I'm a makeup artist, and looking through Mandy is pretty great for finding jobs in my field. Especially being a newly graduate student, the website makes life easier.
My experience with Mandy was wholly positive, it serves as a very competent and user-friendly database. Would absolutely recommend to any friends attempting to crack the industry.
Hi Tiernank, we appreciate this great review! We're happy to hear you're having such a great experience with Mandy, please do get in touch via emails@mandy.com if we can help with anything in future.
I greatly enjoy using Mandy as the service not only connects me with jobs in general, it recommends particular jobs that are unique to my line of work and preference.
Hi Thomas, Thank you for such a lovely review! If you ever need anything remember you can get in touch at emails@mandy.com
Mandy Voices is a great place to find lots of varied voice over opportunities. They send multiple updates a day, so you don't miss out on anything that may fit your style.
Thanks for this great review! We are so pleased we could be of help! If we can support you further in any way please let us know via emails@mandy.com.
For anyone who is finding it difficult to find work as an actor, model, dancer, singer this is the best website. Daily there are loads of jobs you can apply to.
Hello Manushi, It's lovely to hear you value our service so much! If you ever need us please get in contact at emails@mandy.com
I'm so happy that a service like this exists! Hopefully I can find some video gigs to transition myself away from my desk job. Looking forward to giving it a try.
Hi Alexander, we hope so too! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Mandy! If we can help with anything, please reach out via emails@mandy.com.
Update on a past review because I've actually paid for the annual subscription fee so time for some more info. It's awful. Truly awful.
Send apps for loads of low paid freelance jobs and Mandy actually tells you that they haven't been read! The jobs posted that say "email directly" also don't get a reply.
Applied for approx. 20 this year... heard nothing back. I'm experienced, good broadcast and film credits, loads of corporate work.
This site is riddled with amateurs taking the piss with ridiculously low pay and high demands.
SAVE YOUR MONEY! DON'T PAY FOR A PREMIUM SUB BECAUSE NOTHING GOOD WILL COME FROM IT.
Easy to navigate and set up a free profile. It's great to have a site like this available for freelance filmmakers. I will see if the site delivers on what it claims in connecting us with jobs.
Thank you for the lovely recommendation, Jay! Keep in touch at emails@mandy.com if you can think of anyways we could improve your experience with us.
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 Anne, Thank you for your honesty, we do offer a monthly membership which is flexible to you if you are feeling the squeeze, and please do look out for our promotions and possible future discounts when come available.
Applied for plenty of jobs on Mandy. Some are ok, but a lot of listings are no pay, expenses only that kind thing. New site not bad though, big improvement
Hi Juan, thanks for your feedback. I'm delighted to hear you appreciate the improvements – it sure has been a busy year so far!
While we do list low pay or profit share vacancies under our 'Opportunities' section, we are very strict about what we post. You can find our full policy here – https://actors.mandy.com/uk/policy/opportunities-policy – but our main point is that opportunities should be genuine chances for our members to advance their careers. With both our Jobs and Opportunites boards in mind, we work closely with local unions and associations to drive positive change in our industry and improve the jobs that we list.
I appreciate that not everybody wants to hear about expenses-only work, so it's easy to switch these notifications off in your mail settings. You shouldn't see an expenses-only / sub-minimum wage listing on our jobs board.
Thanks once again!
Amelia
Mandy is a great website with a lot of interesting casting opportunities available especially to actors who are just starting out and looking to gain more experience in the industry.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Helene, and thank you for your kind words! If you can think any ways you would like us to improve please do get in contact at emails@mandy.com
I really love Mandy because it's very easy to use. It didn't take me a long time to set up my account and start applying for jobs.
I highly recommend.
Hi Daniella, It's great to hear you've enjoyed the service so far! If you need any help along the way please do keep in touch at emails@mandy.com
Love seeing all the briefs I little ones only three so looking forward to when he's that bit older to fit more of them easy to use good communication with email alerts to suit age range
Hi Nikki, It's lovely to hear that you are enjoying your experience with us. Keep on the lookout, we post new jobs every day! If you ever have any concerns please contact us at emails@mandy.com
It's a nice app to get started on for bigger opportunities until you find better way to get around, I 100 percent recommend that other people should use it.
Thanks for the lovely recommendation Noah! We are not an App, but we are certainly please you enjoy using our network! Keep in touch at emails@mandy.com
I haven't received any jobs from many as of yet, however, I have heard a lot of my friends who have joined and are very pleased with it, so I have finally signed up and am ready to start being booked
Thanks for this lovely review, Ghamzeh! If we can support you further in any way please let us know via emails@mandy.com.
I'd recommend Mandy, especially for when you're first starting out. Some of the jobs have very low rates but I found very nice ones too. Best of luck!
Hi Alejandra, Thank you for your lovely review. If you can think of any ways we can improve please do get in contact at emails@mandy.com!
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 emails@mandy.com so that we can investigate fully.
As an upcoming Actress in Canada, Mandy has been my go-to site for roles to build up my resume and experience. Highly recommend it for any level artist.
Hi Grace, thanks for this review! We're glad we can be your go-to! If we can help with anything, please give us a shout on emails@mandy.com.
Great platform for keeping up to date with what work is available. A free profile is still useful for this, and of course the subscription means unlimited applications.
Hi Dominique, I am so pleased to hear that you are enjoying using our platform for your applications! If you have any ideas for ways in which we can improve your experience please do get in contact at emails@mandy.com
I have been using Many music for about a month so I am a quite new user buy I find the service very useful. There are Great opportunities listed and it's easy to use.
Hello Mate, I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying your experience so far! If you have any questions, remember, you can always contact us at emails@mandy.com
Answer: Hi Alicia, That's Great! If you are based in the UK we have a Mandy Kids UK site available for anyone under the age of 18. We offer a 30 day free trial for this site so you can sign up for free and try it out! If you need any help signing up, get in touch with us at emails@mandy.com
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 emails@mandy.com 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 emails@mandy.com 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 emails@mandy.com.
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 emails@mandy.com
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 emails@mandy.com.
Answer: Hello Maria, Thank you for your question. We do indeed post a number of roles in your field, the best profile type to create is a Theatre Professionals profile! If you need help getting set up please contact us at emails@mandy.com
