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.
The original sites for video production jobs. Lots of available jobs and it's great getting emails in real time as jobs are posted so that I can respond quickly.
If I could give this site zero stars I would. I am extremely disappointed with Mandy's service. They send out few listings and the jobs are either miles away or very shady. For the fee they are charging I can safely say this has been a scam. I'm also shocked that this site was recommended to me by an employment agency.
The site allows you to submit yourself for jobs which are mainly short films, extra work and still photography. At the moment, I'm not sure how much success people are getting but it's nice to read there are still lots of things going on in the creative industry. Good resource.
Hi Dannie, Thank you for reviewing us so positively, we wish you all the luck with your search! If there are ways you can think of to improve our service, please do get in contact at emails@mandy.com.
Used to be a good site, I found paying clients and also found talent for jobs I posted. Since they have teamed up or been taken over by Film and TV Pro you have to pay an expensive subscription charge. It is poor value for money especially for entry level professionals. Would not recommend.
Hi DM-Sound,
As I explained to Laura, above, we have recently relaunched the new Mandy.com on the expertise and experience of our combined team. We're motivated by what puts our members in the strongest position, professionally, and we're confident that our new platform does just that. We hope, now that we've rebranded, that you'd like to give us another chance.
Please contact us through the site if you have any more questions.
With best wishes,
Amelia
Mandy is pretty much a sick joke if you ask me.
We had an ad running on there for a week and got high volume of interested candidates for an interactive game project, then Mandy decides to remove our ad and more or less ban us from posting jobs over there because we are new and do not have a website or all these hollywood credits and reels to show them for their so called "verification".
It's like applying for a job with the FBI just to post a darn ad for a virtual/remote acting job casting! They do not state anything about these so called requirements on their site when you sign up or spend tons of time writing and posting an ad.
You get the shoot down AFTER you spend about a half an hour doing all this.
I do not recommend this place for independents trying to do a small project or first time film makers. These clowns discriminate against the little guy. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Hi, Thank you for your email. I see that we sent you an email requesting information, which we request from every employer to verify your account for the safety of our clients.
Could you please reply to the email my colleague sent, with the required information?
We will then be able to reopen the employer profile for you to post jobs.
Please contact us at emails@mandy.com if you have any further questions.
If you live in London the opportunities and jobs on mandy are brilliant with a small range outside of the big city. Not sure of they could do with developing a short listing services which alerts you to whether your application gained any interest, and the head shot criteria was tough to pass, but the team were happy to help once I spoke them
Hi Kay, Thank you for taking the time to review us, I am glad our team was able to help! We do have shortlisting options available o our employers and we do encourage all employers to respond to all applicants. If you can think any other ways you would like us to improve please do get in contact at emails@mandy.com
I subscribed for one year of premium service and after 4 months they did an 'update' which rendered the site unusable. I can't apply to any job because the site never acknowledges that I've logged in (as it pertains to being able to apply for jobs).
I have contacted them 7 times over the last 3 weeks and have gotten no support. They also refused me a pro-rated refund.
As it was many of the jobs were stale, were links to other sites, or literally paying nothing, but at least the site worked for those nearly 4 months.
I am sorry to hear that our team were unable to resolve your issue. The recent update to our system only removed the ability for you to automatically log in via your email links. This change was applied to increase security on our system and has not prohibited any user from accessing the Premium features they have paid to access. Please do contact emails@mandy.com to cooperate with our team in resolving the issues you are facing.
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
Although I've had my gripe with Mandy.com when the service was free, then changed to a subscription format, I realized why they did it. This assures everyone they are getting what they pay for, and not random job listings. Worth the extra bucks to filter the quality jobs from the not so much.
