- Coordinate auditions with the Director
- Maintain casting databases and talent shortlists
- Help arrange callbacks and chemistry reads
- Coordinate talent availability and travel requirements
- Assist with final casting decisions and offer coordination

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
