Online recruiting and social media posts to find girls for this dating show. Vetted contestants, phone interviews, one sheets, collected info for pitch.

I worked on many seasons from 17-32, many as a casting producer and others as a recruiter while working on Survivor when seasons overlapped. I recruited contestants both online and in person, filtered through contestant application data base, vetted and did a phone background check, pitched contestant videos/applications to the rest of the team and input with casting team on final selections. I worked finals ensuring smooth execution for executive interviews. We helped applicants prepare, relax and get hyped for in person interviews with executives. Casting Producers were ultimately responsible for contestant compliance at finals and protecting confidentiality of applicants identities. I provided feedback to executives when requested.

I was responsible for the "non- jury" cast until filming was complete. I travelled with them through a neighboring country to the one we were filming in. I was responsible for their safety as well as keeping them from being discovered. They were not allowed to be on the internet, contact anyone from home or tell locals their real names or why they were there. I planned 3 week vacations and activities to keep them entertained and occupied while they waited to go home. I took them to hospitals and gave them medications to deal with medical issues that arose while playing the game. I was responsible for giving them per diem, controlling their passports, checking into hotels, transportation, getting them through airports etc. I acted as their boss, friend, psychiatrist, doctor, referee, mom and overall caretaker for the trip. I wrote reports of our progress and interacted with production and security on logistics and problems.
