Higher-quality talent - Mixer has world-class talent and a thorough vetting process. In order to be accepted, members must pass through a weighted algorithm with thousands of profession-specific metrics. Each applicant then needs to be approved by human curation. This means you don't have to waste time sifting through unqualified candidates and can spend time connecting with the talent you actually want.

Robust profiles - Mixer profiles are rich with information, including creative portfolios, work experience, education and personal websites. We have APIs to supporting sites like IMDb, Vimeo, Spotify, etc. as well as other supporting sites. This means you don't have to Google search to review talent.

Mixer has user-friendly tools that really work, so you can easily laser in on the criteria you're looking for in a given role and find the right talent. When you take a more curated members-base, then make it faster to search and easier to review, you're going to book better talent, faster.

You can simply request a demo, and someone from our team will reach out to you to better understand your needs and schedule a convenient time.

While it varies depending on the role, once a listing has been hand reviewed and posted live, most job posts start receiving applicants within the first hour (often within minutes), and the bulk of applicants come within the first day.
