Casthive is a vetted talent platform that connects experienced talents with approved clients looking for models, makeup artists, photographers, and other creative professionals for jobs, campaigns, productions, and projects.

No. Casthive is a platform, not a traditional talent agency. We don't exclusively represent you or manage your career — instead, we connect you with relevant opportunities while you stay in control of your career and the jobs you choose to accept.

Talents with relevant professional experience can apply to join. Every applicant goes through an approval process before being accepted onto the platform — being on Casthive means you've been reviewed and approved, not simply registered.

Yes. Casthive is built for talents who already have professional experience in their field — it isn't intended as a beginner or training platform.

Yes. Creating a profile and joining Casthive is completely free — there's no sign-up fee, membership fee, or agency fee just for being on the platform.

We charge a platform fee on confirmed bookings made through Casthive. That fee only applies once you secure a booking — you never pay just for having a profile, browsing opportunities, or applying for jobs.

Clients bring casting briefs, project requirements, and specific talent needs to Casthive. We use your profile, skills, experience, availability, and suitability to connect you with relevant opportunities, and clients may also discover you directly by searching the platform.

No. Being matched with an opportunity doesn't obligate you to accept it — you decide which opportunities to pursue, subject to the applicable booking terms.

Clients pay Casthive for bookings made through the platform, and we facilitate payment to you — so you never have to chase a client for payment after a confirmed booking. Your payment details are set up on the platform and used for every payout, so keep them accurate.

Casthive is designed so you're paid during the booking process rather than waiting long after a job wraps. The exact schedule is communicated as part of your booking confirmation, and we aim to pay promptly in line with that agreed schedule.

Extra time worked beyond a confirmed booking may be charged to the client under Casthive's overtime terms — additional working time shouldn't be assumed to be included in the original booking fee.

Yes. Casthive isn't exclusive, so you're free to work with other agencies, platforms, brands, and clients unless a specific booking or agreement says otherwise.

Bookings and payments for opportunities introduced through Casthive must follow Casthive's booking terms — you shouldn't move a booking off-platform simply to avoid applicable fees or procedures.
