What are the minimum profile requirements for applying to Encore jobs (being 'gig-ready')?

Updated over 6 months ago

When applying for Encore jobs, it's crucial that your profile contains all of the information and content that a client expects and wants to see when deciding whether to book you.

You wouldn't buy something online without reading a full product description, reviews from other customers, and looking at photos and videos of the product. Our clients feel exactly the same way about booking musicians, especially if they've never booked live music before!

To ensure that clients only receive quotes from musicians with full and helpful profiles, we require you to have a profile that is "Gig-ready". This means it contains all the following information:

  1. Reviews (at least 2 verified or unverified reviews) - How to add an external review

  2. Video (this must be approved by our team) - How to add media to your profile or group page

  3. Complete job alert settings (Musicianship and Location) - How to edit job alert settings

  4. Confirm your PLI and VAT status - How to add PLI to your profile

The top of your profile displays the requirements needed to give you profile a 'Gig-ready' status and the ability to apply for jobs;
