Are you still using email for casting calls? If so, it’s time for a reality check. Email casting calls might have been the norm a decade ago, but today they are a recipe for inefficiency and frustration. Let’s dive into why sticking with email is a major mistake and explore a smarter, more streamlined way to handle casting calls with JamarGig.
The Pitfalls of Email Casting Calls
Email casting calls are like throwing a wide net into the ocean – you never know what you’ll catch. Many applicants won’t meet your criteria and you’ll spend countless hours sorting through unsuitable candidates. Your inbox becomes a dumping ground for irrelevant messages, spam, and promotions, making it hard to focus on genuine applications. Automated bots love email addresses, flooding your inbox with fake applications and irrelevant messages, adding to the chaos.
How many times have you received an email application missing crucial information? The back-and-forth to gather missing details is a huge time sink. Juggling various attachments in different formats is a headache, with important information getting lost and compatibility issues arising. Plus, attachments can harbor malware and viruses, posing a significant risk to your computer and data security.
The email process can be frustrating for applicants, and a clunky, outdated system may deter top talent from applying. Large email attachments can quickly fill up your inbox, leading to delays and potential loss of important emails.
Emails are notoriously hard to search and organize, making it a nightmare to find specific applications or track past candidates. Manually handling and organizing applications is labor-intensive, pulling you away from more important tasks.
With so many applications to handle, the risk of errors and mismanagement is high, and you might miss out on great talent because of an oversight. Overall, sorting, assessing, and responding to email applications takes up an enormous amount of time, reducing your productivity.
If you do manage to find potential candidates the follow on work to then collate the information in an organized fashion to allow assessment and management of auditions is nothing short of an administration nightmare.
