Zerply
Production talent marketplace (Film, Games & VR)
Zerply is a marketplace for production talent in the media & entertainment industry (starting with Film, Games & VR).
Every year, 640K media & entertainment companies spend $30B, recruiting 3M people. It’s an painful process that happens over email and spreadsheets.
The demand side: Blue Sky Studios, Dreamworks, Method Studios, Reel FX, Kabam and many others.
The supply side: The top half of the world’s production talent.
Chances are, you’ve never heard of these creators. But you’ve seen their work. They are the faceless names at the bottom of the credit list, yet year after year they produce the most beautiful imagery in the highest grossing films and games out there. They love Zerply because we promote their talent and make it effortless to find their next gig.
Currently, recruiters and hiring managers struggle through an inefficient, disorganized process to fill production roles. They love Zerply because we connect them with available, vetted talent – right when they need it.
