WHAT IS TV TEAMS

TV Teams is a New Online Networking Site, designed exclusively for Freelancers and Production Companies working in the World of Television. We are currently just specialising in the Bristol, Cardiff and London areas.

We believe strongly that one of the most important factors of making a sucessful production, is the having the right Team and Crew on board - from the Runners to the Series Producers. Without the correct individuals with the relevant skills / experience and attitude, you can be heading for another nightmare production!!!

TV Teams is designed to connect Freelancers and Production Companies, and help find the most Skilled and Talented Freelancers, suited to each specific production requirements.

The TV Industry is getting more and more adventurous and demanding, which is making life tougher on Production Companies. With budgets and schedules getting tighter, it's now more than ever that Production Companies need the right people on their teams, to be able to succeed and deliver the best shows /programmes they possibly can, both on time and on budget!

HOW DOES TV TEAMS WORK?

We provide a platform for all Freelancers (Crew/Team) working in the TV industry to register their CV's ("Profiles") online, enabling companies to view their "Profiles" at anytime and in return easing their way to finding a steady flow of work.

The site will give all our Members the freedom to search for jobs online and apply instantly via their TV teams account. ALL registered Members will be set up with their own Inbox, allowing them to stay in touch with their friends in the industry plus a whole load of Production Companies. Plus there's a "Discuss It..." forum for those we want to chat with others, about - Anything and Everything!

TV Teams goal is to be known by Production Companies & Freelancers as a site which has the largest database of the very Best and most Talented Freelancers in the TV Industry.

That’s why the search engines on this site are geared up to primarily display results on order of TV Skills & Reference Checks, making the task of trawling through 'CV's' much quicker. You can clearly see the individuals TV Skills, by the TV Icons lit on their 'Profile'. Plus each Member who has been Reference Checked by TV Teams, will be high-lighted on the site. This will again save time,as you don't have to waste valuable time opening and closing every single "Profile".

WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT?

TV Teams is a unique website, aiming at building one of the Largest Databases of Talented and Skilled individuals working in the TV industry. This will enable all Production Companies to search for specific skills and experience to suit their production requirements.

We are one of the only sites who identify and show off our Members Skills/Talents and Acheievements for all others to view. This is done to give those searching for the right team/crew members, added confidence.

We have three ways of recognising our Members Skills and Achievements, and they are as follows :

• We request all Members supply the names and details of two references (which must be from two of their most recent jobs, so they are up to date and relevant to their current job position). For all those who have provided names and have been approved via our TV Teams 'Reference Check', they are identified by their ‘Profiles’ being high-lighted in green on the search results pages.
• Random spot checks on our registered members details, will take place to double check they are exactly who they say they are. We know how easy it is in this industry to bend the truth ever so slightly  on a CV, especially when it comes to Job Titles. We want to try and make sure that members understand our policy on this and stick to the truth at all times.
• Lastly, we have a unique 'TV Skills' rating procedure, which outlines 6 Key factors related to Skill and Experience in the industry. They are as follows :
  
  
    Worked for 12 months+ in current position
    Full driving licence

The aim for all Freelancers is to be Top of the list and become the very best in your field.
