Hey guys, a friend of mine applied for a job through the Internet with the company global talent management, I was just curious if anyone has actually heard of this company. She didn't apply directly on the website and it just seems a bit sus. I can't seem to find much about them on the net at all. They have one website which is mainly focused on acting but this job was for promotional modeling. Please help I'm thinking it might b leike the Australian talent management scam.

Not sure on 'Global Talent Management' but there's a certain Talent Management in the UK which is a huge scam and from what I'v seen/heard scams a lot of people and regulary.  You should google/check the alba list and gain some insight onto this agency.  Also, if your friend is on MM tell her to educate herself into spotting these scams

I was interested in signing up with them as well. However I believe if a company wants you should audition for them. If they the are happy you shouldn't have to pay for the shoot or anything else as the only money they should make is commission off each role you land. However this is just my opinion and I could be wrong and they could be a great company. Here is an email they sent me below, hope it helps!
