For those with an extensive network, finding new freelance contracts can be as easy as e-mailing a friend or colleague. For agencies, their freelance roster can run deep, reaching out via e-mail or social media to find out who is available for an upcoming project or for short-term coverage. But those without an established network, finding work or resources can be a challenge. Is the timing right? Is someone available? Cost too much? Can I trust who I’m hiring?

Katnip simplifies this process. We vet every freelancer to ensure they’re a real person. We vet all company bids to ensure they’re real, and not fake postings from recruiters. We facilitate the negotiation and contracting process, to ensure rates aren’t undercut by out-of-market entities, and gather important paperwork to speed up the bid-to-hire start date. We help small agencies and production companies find freelance producers, business affairs managers, project, and talent managers when they’re short-staffed or taking on a new creative projects. For producers who need a little help, Katnip connects them to business affairs managers to work in partnership on productions. We’re here to help.
