Built for Both Sides

FOR HIRING PARTNERS

Build your team with confidence

  • One curated shortlist. Tell us dates, role(s), budget, and style. We handle targeted outreach to trusted creatives.
  • Availability + rate confirmed. Every candidate on your shortlist is vetted and confirmed.
  • Fit first. We prioritize skill, demeanor, and collaborative chemistry—not just filling a spot.
  • Urgent or planned. From last-minute coverage to multi-date events, we'll ensure you're supported.

FOR CREATIVE PARTNERS

Opportunities that match you

  • Aligned opportunities. We reach out only when a role aligns with your skills, style, rate, and availability.
  • Budgets up front. Confirm the rate or propose one based on scope—privately, within the shortlist.
  • Quiet by default. You never have to announce you're "available." Decline privately; no burned bridges.
  • Endorsements. Built on trust, not transactions. No pay-to-play. Just real peers recognizing real talent.
