Thanks Idol.

I have reviewed many production sites model info/application pages to see how they approach model recruitment. The one area I have found lacking is the mention of the interview and what they can expect during an interview. I believe this would be a good first step in getting this information out to the models via the sites model FAQ’s on what they should expect during an interview with your company. And it will help the ethical companies stand out from the others.

If you are planning on taking photos of the model during the interview, do you let him know beforehand? And are you taking a nude body shot of him?

I have seen where many sites require specific nude shots of models as part of their application process. I have decided if I go this route, I would only require a head shot with the application. And then at the end of the interview, when all questions have been asked and answered, if the model is still interested and comfortable with his decision to proceed, then take a couple of shots of him. And this would have been mentioned to him prior to the interview. I feel this may alleviate some models fears about sending in nude shots of himself to god knows who to do whatever with them.

I do like how Steve’s Citiboyz site allows the model to determine how many photos to send in and what shots they are. This probably puts the model at ease about what photos he sends in and in turn it could help you determine how serious he is about being a model for your company.

I do feel like full disclosure upfront with the model candidates would help to improve the perception of the industry and they will in turn be able to determine for themselves who are the more ethical companies out there to work with.
