Mandy is a good website, and I like the fact you can be in control of applying for my daughters jobs.
The only thing I would change is the cost.
Great opportunities for getting experience and making connections. Managed to get many opportunities via Mandy.
A fair amount of work goes up, usually a few every day and it's a great way to meet new people and get your career moving

I recently had the unfortunate experience of using Mandy.com, and I must say that I am thoroughly disappointed with the platform. I encountered several significant issues that left me frustrated and skeptical about the legitimacy of the opportunities available. Here are the key problems I faced:
1- Lack of filtering options for unpaid jobs:
One of the most glaring issues with Mandy.com is the absence of a filtering system to differentiate between paid and unpaid jobs. This omission is incredibly frustrating for professionals seeking paid work and wasting time scrolling through countless listings only to find out they are unpaid. It's a waste of both time and effort, which is unacceptable for a platform that claims to be dedicated to connecting professionals with paid opportunities.
2- Uncertainty regarding application visibility:
Another major concern I encountered on Mandy.com was the complete lack of transparency regarding the visibility of my job applications. After submitting numerous applications, there is no way to track or know if anyone has even viewed them. This lack of feedback leaves users in a constant state of doubt and questioning the authenticity of the platform. It's essential to have a system in place that provides clear information on the status of applications to maintain trust and confidence in the platform.
3- Questionable legitimacy of job postings:
The absence of any filtering mechanisms and the lack of transparency also raises doubts about the legitimacy of the job postings on Mandy.com. Without any assurance that the opportunities are real and not scams or fake listings, it becomes challenging to invest time and effort into pursuing potential gigs. This lack of credibility severely undermines the value and purpose of the platform, making it difficult to trust the listings available.
4- Inadequate invoicing options:
As if the aforementioned issues weren't enough, Mandy.com also fails to provide a proper invoicing system for payments. Obtaining a clear and detailed invoice for the work performed is crucial for both professionals and clients. Unfortunately, Mandy.com lacks this basic functionality, making it cumbersome and frustrating to maintain accurate financial records. This oversight is unprofessional and creates unnecessary difficulties for users who require proper documentation for their payments.
In conclusion, my experience with Mandy.com has been extremely disappointing. The absence of filters for unpaid jobs, the lack of transparency regarding application visibility, the questionable legitimacy of postings, and the inadequate invoicing options have collectively contributed to a subpar user experience. I strongly advise professionals seeking paid work to explore alternative platforms that prioritize user convenience, transparency, and trust. Mandy.com has a long way to go before it can be considered a reliable and user-friendly platform for professionals in the industry.
I get loads of short film, commercial and feature gigs from Mandy and I always make my money back. I check it everyday it's great!

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
