“Hi Matt, thank you and TM so much for organising the event, it was so productive to meet with Scottish production companies and see what opportunities might exist outside London. It was also great to catch up with other freelancers. And also great to meet you in person!”

“Hi Matt, I wanted to say thank you very much for last week, the event was brilliant and so well organised. It was a great opportunity to meet with various production companies (and I really appreciated you getting me in for a last minute slot with Mentorn too!) It's brill to hear that you're planning on organising more events in the future, I'm disappointed to have missed out on the Brighton one but look forward to others in the pipeline. I'm sure people would jump at the chance for the events to become a regular feature if possible, for example once or twice a year! Many thanks again and all the best!”

“The networking event was so good! Meeting the companies was great but also just the networking aspect also worked really well. I think that is because we were all interviewing that put all of us in the same boat so it was very easy to strike up conversations with other people attending. Thank you for organising it!”

“I got a job via the Talent Manager which has in turn led to another contract so I can't speak highly enough of the website. It's extremely user friendly, it allows me to network with other colleagues and see their latest projects as well as the jobs board which is extremely current and updated regularly. I even recommended it to someone today asking me for advice on how to progress in the industry ...

“THANKS Talent Manager! I Have found another great Researcher role through your site, and now on the lookout for the next one. This site makes life as a freelancer so much easier, and connects you to what is going on across the TV world. I love being able to constantly keep up to date with who is crewing up, and think that Talent Manager is the best tool for finding jobs, outside of having contacts. It certainly takes away the 'fear' that looms towards the end of each contract & I couldn't be more grateful. I also love being nosy & being able to see who has viewed my profile when searching for jobs. ;)”

I really like the Profile View function making it straight forward to see who's been looking at my profile (therefore market research is very easy) and I'm especially fond of the job application process - it's very easy and makes you feel confident you have given a good account of yourself.Through your site, I have recently won a job through a German production company, thus proving your far reach into the international media recruitment market.”

I have been lucky enough to have been successful in job applications made through the talent manager. In addition one of the great attributes of The Talent Manager is allowing companies to find you. When out of work it is refreshing to see the volume of jobs that appear on The Talent Manager from a wide range of production companies at all levels.”

“TM is a great shop window. I especially like it because you're in the company of good people - the filters mean you only get to see what's relevant to you, and in contrast to some other sites, there's no dross. I was with an inferior rival for a while and applied for maybe ten jobs in three years - and never had so much as a rejection email. With TM I've had several great jobs that appeared at short notice and was at an interview within hours. In a trade that's increasingly fragmented, TM brings a welcome sense of community - more than any broadcaster manages for freelancers.”

“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.”
