“This is the second time I have engaged the promise of Mandy.com and again the results are disappointing. I have repeatedly asked to be removed from the mailing list for job alerts, yet they still keep coming and now had to block Mandy.com to a blacklist spam filter. Ten years ago I created a professional profile to assist my 30 year career in the film industry as a union member of the Art Directors guild and Local 44. After receiving multiple job alerts each week for art department positions as a "free member", I chose to pay for an account only to discover the job posting vanished. Of the entire year as a paid member, I received less than 5 alerts that fit my profile as a production designer or art director, where as a free member I would see at least 2 or three each week. Based on a suggestion from a colleague and thinking Mandy.com had changed their policies, I created an account once again only to discover the very same practice of a "Bait and Switch". As a "free member" you are restricted from applying to any position or inquiring even for at least (1) one position. Fearing the worst and asking others in the industry, again the very same situation occurs that once you pay the fee, the promise of work vanishes. Mandy.com may work for some other professions, however for the film professional on a personal level, a professional has a 1,000% greater chance of obtaining work by going to local mixers and community events than wasting money on a service that has zero results. For the money, the service is just a waste of time, a professional has a far greater chance of projects posting on LinkedIn than posting on Mandy.com”

“This site is a complete Con! I received no value from this site and wasted money joining as it was the only way to connect with opportunities promoted… This site continued to charge me with their auto renew and when I discovered they had done this, even though I canceled and am not, have not been using their service as it is worthless, they refuse any refund. They claim you can go online to cancel, but that is not true. I went online and it would not even allow me to cancel my credit card details to prevent them stealing further money from my account. It turned out that I had to email them to cancel… how convenient! Do not give them money and do not give them your credit card information to access this useless service… AVOID!!!!”

“** Lack of Voiceover Listings = Not Recommended (AVOID) ** Signed up for the paid Voicover/performer account day before yesterday after doing a fair bit of research online. Even so, after I signed up, I saw many users in the forums (*available only after signup & payment!) commenting, for months, that the number of jobs listed had trickled to a very minimal number, with few of their complaints being addressed by Mandy.com. I mentioned to Mandy support that, in light of the fact that this info had been hidden til I signed up, I'd like to get a pro-rated refund after only a day of use. They (Matheus at support) denied my request. So, Mandy.com is aware of the current lack of listings, but doing nothing about it, not even a) allowing paid performer users to access crew listing as well as a consolation and/or b) bringing some listings over from their affiliated Backstage platform. AVOID MANDY UNTIL RECTIFIED - (*Giving Two Stars because there's a slight chance they can remedy and Mandy.com used to be good in the old old days (2005, etc)”

“Had to contact Mandy.com urgently. Tried to send messages to emails@mandy.com at least 5 times in the past 2 weeks but no response. Tried phoning the no provided on 020 7288 7404 but was advised to send email to the email address I stated earlier! Unable to login or reset password and asked for help to issue reset password, but only pop up error message “….. expired” At the end of it all, all they want is your subscription and no communication at all. Can’t complain as there was no one responsible to lodge the complaint. Other than receiving the automatic emails from a “no reply” address, I wouldn’t waste my breath with them. My login MANDY https://www.mandy.com/uk/a/lynda-lim-zhang-1. https://www.mandy.com/uk/a/lynda-lim-zhang-1 but failed. It is supposed to be a professional website with proper paid jobs but all they have are unpaid student films.”

“What I love about Mandy is that it is a good website to find jobs of your taste and your passion I believe they can open doors and I can definitely build my résumé and I get to build my networking skills and I believe it will take people far it is 100% worth it”

“It is among the sites where you can find legitimate jobs in the film industry. "Mandy.com is a terrific platform for everyone who wants to enter the film industry like me, and I'm sharing it with everyone who wants to join the profession."”

“Great initiative to help artists get visibility and access to new roles. Cannot wait to be booked and share with you all the experience. Platform is easy to use and set up.”

“Absolutely shocking service. There is NO way to get hold of anyone there. I have made contact with them in literally every conceivable way. Various email addressed. Filled in their online form. Facebook. Twitter. Instagram. I have a paid account I'm unable to log into. Its been nearly a week and N0 ONE has been in contact. Their only phone number goes to a voicemail telling me to email them. What fresh hell of customer service is this. I would not recommend paying money for this shocking service. They do not care about their customers.”

“I only graded 4 stars because I have not used premium yet. I get plenty of emails but hardly any for what I am looking for, when I do go on the site and see something I like I do put my name forward but as yet no-one has contacted me, is this because I am not a premium member? It is very easy to use and there always seems to be jobs all the time, maybe one day I will get lucky.”

“It’s a really good website to find opportunities to act, however I dislike the fact that we have to use premium in order to apply for the jobs.”

“First the good. I'm an industry professional of 7 years - a jobbing actor as it were - and I can thank Mandy (or really, Casting Call Pro as it was before it was bought out) for helping me to establish my career. It was, for a long time, a brilliant platform on which to gain invaluable experience, and has led to contacts who I still work with 6-7 years down the line. It was a great pool for corporate work, short and student films and fringe theatre, with an intuitive and helpful interface, and a range of features that really gave me a sense of ownership over my career - it allowed me to track my applications, to see their status, and yielded really positive outcomes. The cost of an annual subscription was easily recouped. The bad news is that Mandy has recently been bought out by Backstage. Since its takeover, Mandy has lost a lot of its useful features. The quality of the jobs on the site has diminished rapidly - for the most part it seems to be teaching, immersive experience for parties and shopping centres, and badly paid corporate work. It was always a real gripe of mine that Mandy never monitored the rates being offered - commercial and corporate jobs will often use the site to exploit actors trying to gain a footing, by offering insultingly low rates. I'd flagged this in the past to no avail, and sadly there is even less of a chance of any user concerns being addressed - the customer service department appears to have become automated, and a community of actors have, since the takeover, offered a stream of feedback on the changes, all for the negative, with no real response offered by Mandy. It appears to be headed in the direction of Star Now, also a subsidiary of Backstage, by which they lure early-career actors to pay to access castings that really won't do much for the majority of users' careers. I've been with Mandy for 8 years, and I am on the verge of leaving the platform for the first time. It has always had its critics and those in the industry who have advised against it, yet I have remained an advocate throughout. Until now. I would not recommend joining - there are other emerging platforms out there - and I have no doubt that usership will drop as a result of the unconsidered changes being made, and poor customer service being offered.”

“I absolutely love Mandy.com because it gives me opportunities to work in film across the world. I love the forums where persons from different areas of film can network and collaborate. It is one of the places where you can get legit jobs within film.”

“I have had many opportunities for audition and work thanks to Mandy. In fact all my roles so far have been through the site and while it is undergoing some changes and upgrading at the moment, it is still a great source of acting opportunities if you know what you are looking for.”

“Terribly disappointing, no longer fit for purpose. I'm so sad and disappointed that I have to give Mandy a 1 star review, as I had been a happy active, paying member as both an Actor and Voice Artist on the site for many years, since it was formally Casting Call Pro & Voices Pro. Unfortunately the company was recently taken over by Backstage.com and they really have ruined what was a wonderful resource for professional performers, since the take over the sites features have been steadily broken apart and services reduced, and more importantly the number and quality of jobs on offer has fallen through the floor, basically making it less than useless to professional performers looking for jobs paying minimum industry standard rates”
