Casting Coordinator — Columbus, OH

<h2><strong>About HumanSignal</strong></h2>

<p>Real-world data is the competitive edge in AI.</p>

<p>HumanSignal is a human data partner for companies building AI models and products. Our customers ship better AI, faster, because we partner with their researchers from real-world data creation to annotation to delivery.</p>

<p><br>We design and create datasets from scratch, recruit and manage the domain experts who evaluate model output, and run everything through our own platform, Label Studio, the open-source standard for data labeling and evaluation, used by over 1 million practitioners worldwide.</p>

<p><br>We specialize in the operationally complex: real-world data collection, multimodal pipelines, and multi-step workflows. Advanced ML and AI teams use our enterprise platform to run their own data factories, and our services team to extend their reach where in-house capacity runs out.</p>

<p><br>If you want to do work that materially shapes how the next generation of AI products gets built, we'd love to talk.</p><p><strong>Casting &amp; Talent Coordinator</strong></p>

<p>HumanSignal operates a production studio in Columbus where local performers record on-camera sessions used to train AI systems. We’re looking for a part-time Casting &amp; Talent Coordinator to build and manage a strong, reliable pipeline of local performers. You'll be representing this work to a performing arts community that has questions about AI, so comfort having that conversation directly matters.</p>

<p><strong>What you’ll do</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>Recruit professional actors, voice actors, aspiring performers, and people with strong natural on-camera presence through in-person and online outreach.&nbsp;</li>

<li>Build relationships across Columbus’s theater, improv, comedy, campus, and creative communities, including attending occasional shows, showcases, campus events, and community meetups.</li>

<li>Manage outreach through job boards, Facebook groups, social platforms, community partners, and other recruiting channels.</li>

<li>Identify people who are engaging on camera, take direction well, and are interested in flexible paid work.</li>

<li>Review portfolios, reels, and applications; schedule and conduct short Zoom readings; and recommend who should move forward, with clear rationale.&nbsp;</li>

<li>Prepare candidates for their initial screening by clearly explaining the format, expectations, and next steps.</li>

<li>Coordinate candidate communication and track progress across sourcing, outreach, screening, selection, and onboarding.</li>

<li>Share feedback on which recruiting channels are working and test new approaches when the pipeline needs improvement.</li>

</ul>
