Erin Posted a Gig Listing and Got 47 Applications in 3 Days

Erin Gunther

TL;DR

We posted a single gig listing for a camera operator position and received 47 applications from qualified crew in 3 days. Here is what clients can expect from the job board.

I wanted to test our own job listing system, so I posted a real gig: camera operator needed for a 3-day corporate shoot in Charlotte. Standard rate, full kit required, experience with interview-style setups preferred.

47 applications in 3 days. And these were not random — they were qualified crew members with profiles, ratings, and gear lists I could review before responding to a single one.
