I signed up with Mandy a few months ago. Got my actor (and crew) profiles all situated, including headshots. Then my inbox gets suddenly overloaded with junk "audition gigs" and messages to change my headshots, as "there is something wrong, they are not professional" When they most certainly are! Two different photographers I paid good money to. I click into my profile to see Mandy's notes about "please change your headshots, your profile won't go public until" nonsense. I honestly gave them the benefit. But as Backstage bought them out, I believe I only wasted my valuable time creating my profile. They don't answer when you call for help. And they DO NOT respond to Contact Us.
Seriously, finding jobs or volunteer opportunities in the film industry is extremely difficult and disheartening. However, after signing up with Mandy.com, I got responses from two jobs I applied for a DAY later, showing their interest, and I don't have much professional experience.
Hi Alina, That's great news! I'm so glad you are finding success with us. If you ever need anything, please get in contact at emails@mandy.com

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 emails@mandy.com
I like this website, it's easy to use and the content is accessible. You also get emails with casting opportunities which fit your profile! Like most sites, you do need a premium membership to access some features.
Thank you so much for the review, Raluca! If you can think of any ways you would like us to improve please do get in contact at emails@mandy.com
I have been impressed with the high calibre of some of the jobs posted on Mandy.com recently. I've found some well paid work from it. It's also great that you can add your family members on the same account too and give them each their own profiles.
Hi Lisa, Thank you for such a lovely review! I'm so glad you've found it so rewarding for all the family! If you need any support do get in touch at emails@mandy.com
Though the free version is very limited to the info one can see, it seems to have a good variety of gigs that are posted from various media related industries. Good for freelancers. Nicely designed site.
Thank you for the review, we do try to make our platform as user friendly as possible! If you have any suggestions on where you would like us to improve, please do get in contact with us at emails@mandy.com
To be fully transparent, I haven't received a single reply on any of my applications.
But for a platform that brings together real crew members, creators, producers, and more, this is a unique and needed resource.
Thank you for taking the time to review us Shame! Please do email us at emails@mandy.com if you would like for us to take a look at your profile to improve it.
Can't say whether or not it works just yet, but it seems like there are many good opportunities. It's a shame you have to pay right off the bat, I would suggest giving seven days free to all new users to see if it works for them.
Hi Blair, Thank you for your review and your suggestion! Our Paid Jobs Boards are part of our Premium service but remember, as a standard user, you are able to apply for any of the roles posted to our opportunities boards. Do keep in touch at emails@mandy.com!
Mandy is definitely the premier location for production jobs, both in front of and behind the camera. There are high quality opportunities that pop up every day, so you're always on the cutting edge and feel like you're getting your money's worth.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Christopher, we are glad to hear you find the service so valuable. Please do get in contact with us at emails@mandy.com if you have any suggestions on how we can improve your experience!
Don't do it. I did for 5 months and after sending out over 200 applications I only got 3 replies. None of them had money, and they were not professionals.
I've been in the biz for over 40 years. I've never seen a scam like this before.
