We accept the following talents: Models, Event Ushers, Dancers, DJs, Comedians /MCs, Bouncers, Photographers, Cinematographers, Music Artists, Makeup Artists, Hair Stylists, Bakers, and Decorators.
Will I be trained if I register? No, we do not train aspirants; rather, we teach or guide applicants to a specific job given to them. This means that before a member attends any job, he/she must be trained to meet the job standard if he/she does not understand the nature of the job. We also organize special training for members in most cases, but members take care of their accommodation and feeding during the training. The date and venue will be communicated to the members via WhatsApp.
What do I stand to gain as a member? Talent Boat will pay you for every job you deliver and provide free access to online contests, giveaways, casting, and auditions. TBA has to promote and secure jobs for members. Members must make it a point of duty to visit notice boards, read emails, WhatsApp messages, attend auditions, & Cast for job opportunities.
How often would I be booked? The number of times you get a job is determined by the membership category you opt for, and you must be an active member to enable clients to have access to your full information. Having a professional biography, pictures, and videos will also increase your chance of being hired by clients. Note: We don’t force members on clients; they make a selection based on members’ profile details.
Since there are other members, how is it possible I could be hired at all? Members are spread across many cities in Nigeria; clients can hire members based on their locations. This means that you will only be booked based on your residence if you stated that you can’t handle outside jobs in your residence, and choosing multiple skills may increase your chances of getting a job. You will get booked as long as you’re available to work, update your profile pictures, and attend our casting or auditions.
Are the times for the events flexible? Yes, times are flexible because clients book members before the official event date. Members will be notified ahead of time to enable them to prepare for the job, but if a member can’t make it on the scheduled date, TBA will refund or inform the client to book another person. In most cases, TBA instructs clients to adjust their time to suit requested members if it is not an event.
How do I get paid for a job? Once a client books any of our members for a job, TBA pays 50% after deducting commission as agreed in the contract form and completes payment after execution of the job. The member will collect a job card signed by the client as evidence that the job is completed before requesting the remaining balance.
Is my security guaranteed if I am hired for a job in or outside my residence? Yes, TBA ensures that clients provide adequate security for members (both verified and noncertified), and members are required to sign undertakings to protect them during job execution. We also request the client’s personal details, and in most cases, we will invite them to a discussion before sending our members. Talent Boat also sends staff to supervise members. A personal security guard (Police) is also assigned to members if necessary.
