The Pending

The Pending Agency is a purpose-built casting and talent management platform designed for agencies, bookers, casting directors, and freelance casting professionals. It combines a full Application Management suite with talent roster, project management, team collaboration, and an ethical AI assistant — replacing the fragmented mix of job boards, spreadsheets, and email threads that most casting teams still rely on.

Smart Application Management
Every casting call gets its own branded landing page and dedicated project email address — shareable in seconds. Talent can apply directly without creating an account, submitting structured applications that arrive pre-sorted by the casting team's criteria. Custom forms allow teams to collect exactly the information they need, from headshots and reels to availability and measurements.

Project Roster & Talent Database
Accepted applicants feed directly into a project roster that connects across castings, building a searchable talent database with every project. Teams can send outreach, invitations, and manage talent status directly from the roster — no manual transfers, no spreadsheet exports.

Project & Task Management
Each casting project has its own workspace — moodboards, notes, file storage, and task boards — giving teams a single source of truth from brief to booking.

Team & Client Collaboration
Teams can share projects, leave notes on candidates, and assign tasks internally. Clients receive password-protected shortlist links — no login required — for clean, professional talent presentations.

Spotty — Ethical AI Assistant
Spotty handles application pre-sorting, talent matching, and administrative tasks where AI is actually useful. Available via in-app chat and email, Spotty is designed with full transparency and built to the highest international data protection standards.

Talent Network & Global Reach
The Pending Agency connects casting professionals with a community of 10,000+ creatives, with a built-in global Talent Finder for sourcing beyond the existing network. Casting calls can be published to the network directly from the platform.

Pricing
Monthly pricing starting at €19.99/month — no per-applicant fees, no hidden costs. A free plan is available for teams getting started.
