“Recruiting the most creative TV professionals for our teams is vital to us at Raise the Roof. Using The Talent Manager’s recruitment tool allows us to mobilise best practice recruitment processes to successfully achieve this. Starting from advertising on a publicly available site to a wide range of talented and qualified candidates, through to the selection process with easy categorisation and feedback tools, means we can be reassured that not only is our recruitment thorough, compliant and professional, but that we have found the best candidate for the role.”

“The new layout of Talent Manager has made the platform 100% more user-friendly. It significantly speeds up the process of sorting through applicants, allowing them to be easily organised into folders, so others can quickly review shortlisted candidates. Additionally, the group function enables users to send one email to all successful and unsuccessful applicants at once, streamlining communication. Overall, it has made the entire process more efficient, intuitive, easier to navigate, and provides a centralised place to store shortlisted candidates. It’s a fab time saving set up.”

Patrick Younge / Cardiff Productions

“I use The Talent Manager all the time. I get concerned when I hear broadcasters thinking of ‘building their own’ when there’s a perfectly good solution already available. Why waste time or money. Plus this diversity database sits outside the paid product, so it’s open to all.”
