However Matt was able to set me up with a meeting that has now landed me a 19 week contract. I was nervous to go, but the end result was totally worth it! Being able to meet fellow TV people in my area was also an added bonus. I discovered production companies I wasn’t even aware of until I had attended. The free wine and food was also another bonus! All in all I would 100% recommend any future talent manager networking events.Thank you again!All the best, Anna Alstrom”

“Talent Manager works on a number of levels for me. I can apply for roles that I would not know existed if it wasn't for TM. It's easy to apply for jobs and I've landed three positions over the last couple of years directly through the website. On two occasions it was through me applying for advertised roles but I was also approached by a series producer who clicked on my profile and saw I had the experience they needed. It's my first port of call if I am nearing the end of a contract.”

“I found a job recently through TalentManager - having looked through lots of positions and sent off a few applications, a company I really liked got back to me and I worked on an exciting feature documentrary for a few months which I loved. I think Talent Manager works really intuitively and having used lots of these sites over the years this one is the one that keeps me coming back - a mixture of a logical, easy to use interface and a sense of personability. I like the way it allows you to build an overall picture of yourself and skills and expands rather than reduces. It's also a great place to keep track of the companies in the indie sector and get to grips with who's out there and who you might want to target.”

“I applied for my in-house role in the development team at Channel 5 after seeing their advert on The Talent Manager. I find the site to be user-friendly and the instructions for how to apply for jobs to clear and easy to follow. I'd definitely recommend Talent Manager to my friends and colleagues.”

“The Talent Manager has been absolutely indispensable in my recent job search and has led to me successfully landing a role that I'm really excited about! I've been so impressed with the wide range of jobs available- across every genre, different channels, varying contract durations and availability periods. The site also allows companies to contact freelancers directly, greatly increasing your chance of being actively approached for a role and furthermore, one that's really right for you! It feels like you are part of a community, connected to the very best the TV industry has to offer and as such, the opportunities really are endless. Upgrading to the Pro service during my key job search period really gave me confidence and added motivation by being able to see that my applications were being viewed and even that companies were viewing my profile proactively. I honestly can't recommend The Talent Manager enough and I'll definitely be relying on the site to find my next dream TV job.”
