This online talent management network is making it easier for them to find bright men and women in singing, acting, comedy and other fields. The network’s representatives hope that the system would benefit agents and agencies that found talent hunting rather challenging and time consuming.

Talent Agents Can Easily Find and Shortlist People

Based on their requirements, talent seekers and agencies can use basic and advanced search options to find candidates matching their requirements. With the basic search, the agents can find candidates by category, location, and zip code. The advanced search option for networking or hiring candidates has options based on category, sub category, gender, keyword, ratings, zip code and whether or not video and audio is available. The option of making candidates present the same script, song, and voiceover or other performance, makes it easier to shortlist and finalize candidates and get better results from the search.

Posting of Talent Competitions and Auditions Is Effortless

Talent hunters can post contests on the talent management system which would make it easier for them to select. These competitions would also help the talent seekers promote their company, brand or services. Prospective candidates would view the contests with their start and end dates and participate if interested. Posting auditions is free and very convenient. TTSN enables development and creation of multiple auditions (closed or open). In this respect, it gives the benefits of:

• Scheduling of live auditions

Website to Change the Way Companies Find & Manage Talent

Now you can manage all aspects of procurement and placement in the talent industry at "The Talent Shopping Network" (TTSN).

The Talent Shopping Network allows both sides of the entertainment industry to directly connect in one convenient place with all the tools necessary to manage auditions and contests. "The entertainment industry is vast and sometimes difficult to navigate," says Russell Hess, of Commodity Films, LLC, one of  TTSN’s Strategic Partners, "it is often times difficult to not only find talent but to cost-effectively manage the casting and auditioning process."

Never before have these two groups been brought together on the web in this way. “All of the ‘traditional’ processes for casting talent are here.” says Hess “Formerly, the tedious, time-consuming, and expensive aspects are now digitized and rolled-into one convenient package. This site allows you to do it all right from the comfort of your desk chair. Using this service, filmmakers can nearly eliminate their costs for casting and make things exponentially easier. This will allow them to put more money up on the screen where it belongs.” Hess adds, “After all, the whole point is to make better movies. We have to save a buck anywhere we can. You no longer have to drive to a live casting only to sit through hours of tapes when you can view digital reels and auditions as they come directly to you in the order they are received. Its all automatic with TTSN. It just makes sense.”

Talent Agents, Modeling Agents, Film Producers or anyone seeking to hire talent can manage castings from beginning to end. There is no need to set up your own database or go through the logistics because its all here. Cattle calls can be announced, callbacks managed and the talent can be narrowed-down to those appropriate for the job. The all the information is channeled directly to those doing the hiring (agents, producers, etc) without the need for attachments, sorting through hundreds of e-mails or downloading files. Everything is built-in. The TTSN process automates the tedium to streamline the process and save everyone time and money. This will be particularly attractive to both radio and television stations when they want to host, manage and advertise their contests.

TTSN is for any type of talent agent, talent manager, film and television producer/director and anyone interested in finding and procuring any kind of talent. From Actors to Models, from Musicians and Singers to extras and even crew personnel. For more info: www.thetalentshoppingnetwork.com
