How Talent Finder works
Talent Finder at /talent-finder/ is how you meet people you do not already know. You describe who you are looking for in ordinary language, and it goes and finds candidates.
Every discipline
It is not limited to one field. Musicians, bands, DJs, singers, actors, dancers, acrobats, photographers, videographers, models, stylists, technical creatives — all of it. If you can describe the person, you can search for them.
Where it looks
- Inside the platform — creatives with portfolios here, matched on meaning rather than exact keywords.
- On the open web — publicly available profiles and pages, read and assessed for fit.
How a run goes
- You describe who you need.
- If the brief is ambiguous, you may be asked a clarifying question — answering it markedly improves the results.
- The search runs and candidates are gathered.
- Each is assessed against your brief and the weak ones are dropped.
- You get a shortlist with reasoning for each person.
Cost and refunds
A run draws on your credit balance; the cost is shown before you start. If a run returns nothing at all, the credits come back automatically. If the results are poor, rate them down — see the article on refunds.
Unexpected connections
The finder is not only for filling a specific brief. Widening your circle is the point: a photographer who turns out to be right for a tour campaign, a booker who becomes a long-term collaborator. It is worth running a broader search occasionally, not just a precise one.
Judgement stays with you
Rankings are a starting point. Read the profiles and decide for yourself — especially for people whose careers do not follow a standard shape.
