Section Two: Talent - Profiles and Roster

Before a representative can submit their talent they need to add talent. The Talent page is where the representative talent Roster lives. This is also where they can invite or add clients to their roster, view their Invitation History and create Talent Lists. Talent on Casting Networks can have multiple profiles. If they have an agent and manager, each will have their own profile. Additionally talent will have a personal profile. When talent updates one profile, they will want to make sure they apply those changes to all relevant profiles. Talent representatives have the ability to edit their talent’s profiles.  

• 2.1 - Adding Talent
  • Representatives can either ‘Invite talent to create a profile’ or they can “Create a profile for talent”. 
    • Invite talent to create a profile
      • If a representative chooses “Invite talent to create a profile”, they can either invite talent individually or they can add a list by uploading a CSV orXLSX file. Please make sure columns are correctly named "Name" and "Email."  
      • This will send an email to talent inviting them to create a profile associated with the representative's company. 
    • Create a profile for talent
      • Allows a representative to create a profile for the talent. 
        • As long as the representative enters the talent’s email, the talent will receive a notification to complete the process of setting up the profile. 

• 2.2 - Talent Profiles

A talent's profile is how the representative “sells” their talent. It's the casting office's first impression of a talent so it’s essential that the profile be complete and accurate.  

• Talent Profile:

• View Profile
  • A new tab will open with the view of what the talent’s profile looks like.

    • Representatives also have the ability to send a message to multiple talent from the talent Roster. Simply select those you wish to contact, then “Contact Selected Talent” will appear in the bottom right corner. 
• Grant Talent Edit Access
  • This option is clickable when a profile is not yet connected to an active talent account. If this option is grayed out, then the profile is either from the old platform or it is properly connected to an active talent account.
