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.
Its a great networking platform and I always encourage new performers to give it a try and have a look at the roles available.
I haven't seen too much of the site yet, but so far I'm pleased with the number of listings they have. I will definitely be interested to see what I can find.
Mandy is an awesome website to find acting gigs for all genres and ages. Even with the standard option you are able to view gigs. I highly recommend using Mandy to help kickstart your acting career… see you on the big screen and best of luck to you all!
Great site with legit agencies and very decent premium membership pricing, all around would recommend Mandy over any other site they may not be completely legit.
I love Mandy.com. It is a super reliable jobhunting service. I used Mandy all the time. I recommend Mandy to any working professional in the industry.
I've joined Mandy not too long ago and already there are jobs which I feel suit my needs! I can't wait to get started on this new journey
This is a really good website it's legit and it actually got me somewhere I was also in a Netflix movie I was a background character and it was great!
I took a break from the industry for a few years and just filled out my new profile on Mandy.com. Back when I was in film school and after, it was the go-to place for industry jobs and was very helpful at finding quality productions. From what I can tell so far, the searches appear to have good results and are user friendly. It promises to still be a very valuable resource. I'm looking forward to landing some jobs again.
I love this site so much! It has helped with getting my name out there and helped me find myself!
I needed assistance on my profile and I had a helpful emails exchange with a nice and competent operator.
Mandy is a great resource for film industry information and jobs. It's where I've some great listings and people, I only wish it was free to apply for jobs as so many other sites are.
I appreciated how I am able to work with other actors in my area! You can create a profile with your goals and work from there!
I feel mandy gives professionals from all around the world to try their skills on biggest market there is, US market. I am happy and hopeful and looking forward to using this site which by the way is a great and easy to use platform
Most of the work mandy offers is low paid or fixed rate. I don't like how they require a rate from the client rather than a quote from the freelancer. However, it's a good platform for filling the calender a couple months in advance, which is helpful to keep going
I set up my Mandy account many years ago and forgot about it, until a director reached out to me there for a job in my city. Mandy is a known platform so it's more likely to get you work since directors and dept heads look there. Would recommend keeping a profile updated there, even if you aren't actively looking for work - you never know who might find you on the site!
I've always had a good number of decent candidates responding to job ads, the site is easy to use and navigate.
This is the perfect job board for people in the film and tv industry to find jobs on, I absolutely love it.
One of the few places where you can find a good job. Thanks to the MANDY team, for the fact that I can just press a couple of buttons and get in touch with my potential client.

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.
