GOALS:

The crews for the entertainment industry have unique hiring practices & niche problems.

Across almost every department - a supervisor gets the shooting schedule, texts their favorite dayplayers (crew members outside their staff that they hire for the day), waits for responses, then continues to send texts until positions are filled. If positions remain unfilled, the supervisor sends out more texts asking for recommendations.

Besides this system being inefficient, it becomes almost impossible when the industry is busy. This leaves roles unfilled & crews understaffed.

So I set out to solve this complex problem by creating a recommendation network that combined a hiring calendar & messaging system.
The supervisor (hiring person) can send out work requests to quickly hire a crew, and get recommendations. Dayplayers (the hired) can send interested work requests, set up their profile to get more exposure and most importantly - get hired!

ROLE:

This is a personal project I started for my General Assembly UX class. But it has evolved over the years, and I have received good reception and insight from creative directors at Huge & Percolate for iterations.

SCOPE:
Research • User interviews • User tests • Personas • Competitive analysis • Wireframes • Design • Prototype

PROCESS:

Research to develop user personas via user interviews.

I conducted 10 different interviews across all departments in the film & tv crews - because almost every department has their own union and set of rules when it comes to hiring – I wanted to get insight into each of them.
