Josh Greenfield of Zapoint agreed to answer a few questions about their experience at Voices.com and how they've used the service to find, select and hire talent.
Recently Josh completed a project at Voices.com and hired Mandy Kaplan. Read more on the hiring experience of Zapoint.
How did you use Voices.com? We needed a voice for our demo videos and decided to try searching for talent via Voices.com
Did you use the Featured Talent Directory or browse the talent search engine? We did browse the talent search engine
Did you contact any talent directly? Yes we did
How did you select the talent?
We listened to over 2 dozen voices and all picked who we liked the best. What set Mandy Kaplan apart from the others is that she read our whole script. By reading the full script she helped us select her. We we able to provide immediate feedback to her which (in less than a day) gave us 4 versions from which we could choose.
What challenges did you face using the Voices.com system to find talent?
Our biggest challenge was our timeline. We needed the recording as soon as possible and with the help of Voices.com the whole process took less than 36 hours.
How would you describe your overall experience with the site?
How did Voices.com help you achieve your goals in hiring? Voices.com gets a rating of 100%
Was the talent of professional grade? We thought all of the talent who auditioned for us deserved a rating of 100%
Did you receive enough responses to your posting? We received amazing responses
How was your overall experience with the talent you hired to record the project? We give Mandy a rating of 10/10
Will you use Voices.com again in the future to hire the same talent or hire a different talent? Sure, we will consider using Voices.com again to find the right voice for our next voiceover project.
Have you or will you recommend Voices.com to business contacts that may be in need of voice over services in the future? I would recommend Voices.com to anyone that I knew needed the type of services that Voices.com offers.
