FAQs for Job Alerts

How do I get these job alerts?

Job alerts are emailed to members. Please see the information on joining Filmbase here

How can I send a job alert?

You can send a job alert to Art Department, Set Decoration or Props Department crew by filling in a Crew Request form.

What job alerts will I receive as an Accredited Member?

Accredited Filmbase members (two or more credits) are sent Job Alerts, by email, for jobs where the employer is looking for experienced crew.

You will only receive alerts that match the roles that you select in your profile. You can also choose what budget bands you would like to receive alerts for by selecting options in your profile. 

Employers may also contact you directly from the directory by email.

What job alerts will I receive as a New to the Industry Member?

New to the Industry Filmbase members (less than two credits) are sent Job Alerts, by email, for jobs where the employer is looking for junior crew, or in busy times when experienced crew are not available. Please check the Job Alert details on this page to see if it was sent to Accredited or New to the Industry members.

You will only receive alerts that match the roles that you select in your profile.

Employers may also contact you directly from the directory by email.

Have a look at the Tips for Starting in the Industry page in your Department hub for tips on how to make the most of your profile and receive the most relevant job alerts. It is important to select the roles that are most relevant for your experience.

I'm a member but haven't received some of these alerts.

You will only receive job alerts for the roles that you have selected in your profile. If you are an Accredited member, you can also choose which budget bands to receive alerts about, so please check which preferences you have chosen. If you are a New to the Industry member then you will be sent job alerts for all budget bands that match your profile settings. You can edit your profile setting here.

Most of the job alerts are for Accredited Members who have 2 or more credits. There are job alerts for New to the Industry members, but not as many.

How often will I receive job alerts?

This is entirely dependent on the number of productions that are in need of crew at any time. We have links with many employers who are all actively using the directories to look for crew. Whether they choose to send a job alert or not for a particular role will be dictated by their own requirements. You will receive more job alerts if you have ticked more roles (up to a maximum of 3 for Accredited members, 6 for New to the Industry members) in your profile. Some grades, particularly the more experienced ones, are in greater demand and will likely receive more alerts.

We sometimes get 4-5 job alerts a day in busy times, but the Film and TV industry is seasonal and there will be times when no crew is needed for several weeks.
