CircusTalk, the leading online career and casting marketplace for the circus and multidisciplinary performing arts industry, and JamarGig, a cutting-edge SaaS platform for Casting Directors, have formed a strategic partnership aimed at transforming the way the entertainment industry connects and collaborates.
CircusTalk is a global hub for the performing arts community, providing a comprehensive online platform that connects artists, producers, and enthusiasts from around the world.

JamarGig has rapidly emerged as a pioneering SaaS platform specifically tailored for Casting Directors. By leveraging technology and innovative features, JamarGig simplifies the entire casting process. The platform aims to empower Casting Directors by providing them with greater control over the management of auditions and talent engagement.
The strategic partnership between CircusTalk and JamarGig brings together two industry leaders, combining their respective strengths to create a more robust ecosystem for the entertainment community. Through this collaboration, the partners will focus on enhancing the user experience, expanding networking opportunities, and streamlining the talent booking process.
Today casting solutions are typically classified as either:
– Public talent databases that are primarily used for job postings and talent searching or
– Simple project-based audition assessment applications.
However, what many casting and production companies are also looking for is the ability to promote their own brand and protect their talent IP. Public talent databases are great for starting the process, but invariably, once shortlists are created, the process often degenerates into managing talent and processes with spreadsheets, emails and manual distribution of cast lists.
The Circus Talk & JamarGig partnership will fundamentally deliver the much needed full casting lifecycle in a modern, connected and efficient way.
This partnership will enable casting directors to tap into Circus Talk’s broad and rich 35,000+ talent database and JamarGig’s depth of casting functionality, collaboration, insights, history, and auditable processes.
Talent will have a seamless experience, and for the first time, Casting Agents will have an end-to-end modern and efficient casting solution.
The partnership between CircusTalk and JamarGig will include collaboration on technical integration, user experience enhancements, and joint marketing initiatives to provide the new offerings to their respective communities.
This partnership aims to provide a world first end-to-end solution for entertainment and casting professionals. This includes capabilities such as networking and skill development, discovery and securing of gigs, accepting and assessment of applications, sharing of casts with production managers for approval and enrichment of talent history with past audition performances.
Ultimately this will propel the entertainment industry forward into a new era of talent and audition management.
CircusTalk and JamarGig will be collaborating to create seamless integration between the two solutions over the coming months.
