Chicago Casting Calls & Acting Auditions

Our early-stage startup is looking for a camera operator to record content about our products, services, and industry. This includes shoots like ‘person-on-the-street,’ shot-for-social clips, video podcasts, and testimonials, all at or near our office located in the Flatiron district.

We’re equipped with high-end camera equipment (we operate Sony FX3 and FX6 cameras). This is an excellent opportunity for early careerists who are looking to expand their portfolio, learn + network in tech, and improve their skills.

The hourly rate for this position is $15 to $20/hr. We expect between 10 and 20 hours of work weekly, as-needed during the week or on weekends.

To apply, please send samples to [email protected].

Why Free Agency matters

Job search and career progression are broken. Candidates haphazardly apply to jobs, meet only a few companies, settle during offer negotiation, and generally don’t optimize the process of moving along in their careers. As a result, Free Agency believes that everyone is under-compensated.

That doesn’t just have to do with the money we make, but also the teams we’re a part of, the type of work we get to do, and the alignment to mission along the way. All of this has an impact on our own satisfaction, health, and financial wellness, but we don’t give it the attention it deserves.

By aligning incentives with individual talent, Free Agency is enabled to build first-of-their-kind products & services and define a new category of career management.
