Posting A Job
When posting a job, it is important that you communicate to the candidate as much about the job as possible. It is an unfortunate truth that 'sharks' do exist in the industry and everyone needs to look out for their own career and their own safety. To this end, it is important that your job advert represents the commitment and professionalism you wish to bring to your project.

THE MANDY NETWORK PAID JOB SECTION SALARY POLICY
We guarantee our Premium Members on our "Paid Jobs" section offers that start from at least National Living Wage per hour, regardless of the day being a performance or rehearsal. Anything below goes into our "Opportunities" section. We do however encourage employers to list jobs with a salary that meets the national living wage for the area in which the role is located, therefore higher in London. Whilst this will not exclude this from the "Paid Jobs" section, it will help encourage more experienced candidates to apply.

Must always include travel, flights, cost of visas and accommodation

POSTING THE JOB
If you do not provide all relevant information this can delay your job listing reaching actors. Further, we have found that positions with more information are generally trusted more and applied for in greater numbers.
Hopefully this short guide will help you to fill any roles you currently have to cast.
If you have a short turn around time or want to secure more applications you can boost your job listing for as little as £69.99 + VAT.
