Talent can be added to a round in 3 ways:
They can openly apply if the round is an open round
They can be invited to a round if the round is open or an invite only round
They can be added to a round if the round is an internal round
Talent openly apply
If the round is an open round you can enable talent to openly apply to a round by ensuring the project is listed and the round "Accept Submissions" switch is enabled.
Once the round is set to Accept submissions the round will be visible for the talent to apply in the talent portal when they view the project.
When the role the talent wants to apply for is selected the questions specific for that role will be displayed for the talent to answer. If the talent save the application as a draft their application will not be added to the round. It is only when they select submit that the application is submitted.
Talent are invited
For open and invite only rounds talent can be invited to apply to a round. To do this the Invite Talent button can be selected in the round.
Once "Invite Talent" is selected the talent selection dialog box will appear where talent can be searched, filtered and selected to be sent an invitation.
Once the talent are selected the "Add to Round" button can be selected. The message to the talent and the roles they can apply for are available to be updated.
Once the talent are invited they will be added to the round however they will be flagged as Invited - Pending Application. This highlights to the casting team that the invitation has not yet been responded to. Note that talent in this status cannot be assessed until the application is received.
Talent will then be sent an email and be presented with an invitation in their talent portal where they can apply for the audition.
Talent can also decline the invitation. If the invitation is declined it will be marked as declined in the round.
Talent are Added
For internal rounds only talent can just be simply added to a round. In this case no invitation is sent as the round is for internal purposes only.
As internal rounds cannot be applied for directly by the talent there is no "Accept Submissions" switch.
Adding talent is identical to inviting talent however when the "Add to round" is selected no invitation template is displayed.
As soon as talent are added to a round they can be assessed.
