How To Hire A Fashion Model

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So there's nothing quite like having a model wear your clothes and accessories to communicate the value of your brand and boost your marketing efforts.

So how do you hire fashion models? Here are some tips for finding the top fashion model consultants at Modelfactory.

How to Shortlist Fashion Modeling Professionals

As you are browsing the fashion modeling consultants available, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of freelancers you would like to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

Market Fit. If your fashion model is also going to serve as an influencer, it is important that their social media presence matches your target audience.

Project Experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (eg, wristwatch modeling as a hand model).

Check out testimonials from past clients or reviews for red flags that can tell you what it's like to work with a particular fashion model.

How to Write an Effective Fashion Modeling Job Post

With a clear picture of your ideal fashion model in mind, it's time to write that job post. Although you do not need a complete job description, as you do when hiring an employee, it is necessary to provide enough details for the contractor to know if they are the right fit for the project.

An effective fashion modeling job post should include:

• Scope of work: List all the deliverables you'll need, from photo shoots to video commercials.
• Project Length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a small or large project.
• Background: If you like experience with certain fashion styles or marketing channels, mention it here.
• Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates versus fixed-price contracts.
