HUSSLUP

Hey Product Hunters! After growing to 10K members in our private beta, we are super excited to announce our public launch! 🎬 HUSSLUP is a vertical network that connects professional creative talent to each other and to the media and entertainment companies that need to hire them. We are helping NBCU, AETN, Keshet, AGBO, and 50+ other studios and production companies staff freelancers. The Problem: As a former C-suite leader in entertainment, I know that the analog, gated process to source film and TV makers is broken. It's the old clique. The Solution: 🎥 Using robust data and an elegant interface, HUSSLUP transforms Hollywood’s antiquated staffing process and democratizes access to the $2.3T industry. We are the new click. How We Do It 🌟 Creative freelancers join HUSSLUP’s community for free and build robust profiles that become their own professional landing pages. 📱Then, production partners use our AI-driven search tools to source above-and-below-the-line talent based on that data. 💯 HUSSLUP’s subscription suite of staffing tools replaces costly weeks of analog phone calls, myriad emails, and random spreadsheets so that our production partners can source great talent at a fraction of the time and money. 💰For just $34.99 /month, you can use all of these tools to save thousands in staffing costs– 💫 Prosearch: Search a large, qualified talent pool with specific criteria to source the right candidates quickly. Annotate and save your favorites. And share your search with other stakeholders. 📋 Staffing Rosters: Organize open roles and hires on a film or TV project, including rates and start dates. Import your roster with live links to member profiles to share data on your hires in your budget and call sheet. 🌈 Demographic Reports: Generate an anonymized statistical report of your hires’ demographic information for internal tracking, to apply for tax incentives, and to qualify for awards. ✅ Here is what our production partners say: “The tools are incredibly intuitive and easy to use.” - Head of Major Television Studio “Finally, a comprehensive tool to find and connect with our most important asset– talent. I love it!” - CEO of Global Super Indy 🚀 Subscribe to our 14-day free trial. And let’s HUSSLUP! H

Ok, so I'm CTO of HUSSLUP and therefore biased. So I'll also keep it short. As someone who oversaw staffing technologies at WB, who was CTO at MTV Networks, and CTO at Grindr, I have a weird mix of understanding when it comes to the needs of the Entertainment Business, and the needs of individuals. At HUSSLUP, we work hard to focus exclusively in that space, with an intuitive Product and Platform. Please check us out. This is the industry where we live. These are the people we're serving.

There is an assumption on the part of many Social platforms, Job platforms, etc. that it's possible or desirable to "go generic": Achieve a larger market by supporting these features (Connections, Communications, Job Posting, Job Searches, etc.) across an and all industries. For some industries that may work. But for others - and the Entertainment Industry definitely qualifies - the community and the work ecosystem (jobs, freelance, etc.) demand a careful focus on that industry alone. HUSSLUP has implemented just that kind of focus, serving this industry with a rich understanding of what it needs, what it does not need, its business sensitivities, and goals. When you use the product, you feel the ties to the Entertainment world that you won't find elsewhere - across the People on the platform, the voice of the management, and, most importantly, the functionality of the Product. This is the way you serve an industry and the people in it!
