Your agency is there to support your career in the industry, to get you jobs and it selects between serious and dubious clients. A hostess and promotion agency should be there to help you with questions as well as useful tips. From building up your sedcard, to arranging and settling accounts with clients, our agency is there to help you in word and deed. The task of our hostess agency is to promote and place you, whether alone or in a team. In addition, you are always on the safe side as far as the end customer is concerned, because this is always checked and verified by us in advance. You will find numerous hostess agencies on the Internet, from large management agencies to small placement agencies. It is best to check the websites of the agencies carefully in advance and make sure that the application is always free of charge.

No. We base our staff selection on our clients and their requests. In order not to give our applicants false hope, we do not accept hostesses, promoters, influencers or presenters who we think would be difficult to place. But here you are also in demand, because without good photo material it will be difficult to assert yourself against other hosts/hostesses.

In principle, anyone who is interested and at least 18 years old can apply to work for us as a Hostess, Promoter, Influencer, Grid Girl or Moderator. During the selection process, we pay particular attention to charisma, language skills and a well-groomed appearance.

Each application is checked by us and activated for the areas discussed in advance.

Your personal data will be treated confidentially by the hostess and will not be passed on to third parties without your consent. If your sedcard is released for public viewing on our website, site visitors will see the following information there (the same also applies, of course, when we present your sedcard to the customer):

• First name
• First letter of the surname
• Year of birth
• Residence
• Body measurements and clothing size
• Shoe size
• Hair colour and eye colour
• Information about tattoos and piercings
• Photos
• Language skills
• Current activity
• Professional and school education
• Experience / References
   

Your contact details, which the hostess needs for its own use, will not be published. With your consent, we will forward your telephone number and e-mail address as well as your full name to the respective client after the binding booking, so that further details for the cooperation or queries can be clarified directly.

This is a compilation of your uploaded pictures. You can edit your sedcard online at any time with your login data. You simply log in under https://www.the-models.de/en/my-account/login and click on „Sedcard“ in the login area. Further steps are described there.

It would be advantageous if you have a small business to receive short-term requests, in which case you would then settle directly with the end customer yourself. If this is not an option for you, the job will be settled via your income tax card.

You can apply to us free of charge and online at www.the-models.de/application. Fill in all fields truthfully and upload several pictures, including at least one full body photo and one portrait. Once we have reviewed your application, we will contact you to arrange a short phone interview to discuss our guidelines.

After your application, you will receive an email from us. It usually takes 3 - 10 working days, as we receive numerous applications every day and have to check them thoroughly. In the email, we will then describe the next steps in detail and arrange a telephone appointment.

As soon as you are registered with us as a hostess, promoter or grid girl and your online sedcard is complete, you will receive a call from us in which you will be informed about everything important. You will receive job enquiries from us by e-mail. You have the possibility to click on „Available“ or „Not available“ to give us a direct feedback whether you are available for the job or not. With us, the customer always chooses his favourites in advance, and you will certainly be among them more often. In order to be able to work and react as quickly as possible, your feedback is essential. This is the only way we can guarantee that you will be placed. Reliability and communication are basic requirements for a cooperation to work. Even if you are not available for the whole period, please give us a short info from when to when you would be available. (simply reply to the e-mail, then the responsible booker will receive your message directly). If you like the job and the client decides in your favour, you will receive a booking or placement confirmation by e-mail with all the necessary information about the job. Only after confirmation of the booking and placement confirmation is the binding booking and successful placement concluded.

No. You have the free choice and can refuse the requests (even without giving reasons). However, it is important for us to receive feedback in general. This way we know whether you are still active and whether our mails actually reach you.

No! However, it is important that you are active – i.e. that you respond to our job enquiries with an acceptance or rejection. If you don't do this or if we only receive rejections from you over a long period of time, we will contact you.
Then we will clarify together what the problem is and whether further cooperation makes sense for both sides.
If you are not available for a longer period of time, it is of course also possible to temporarily suspend your account.
This way you won't receive any enquiries and we won't suggest you to clients.

With these tips you can increase your chances of a successful placement:

• Pictures: No matter for which area you apply – without meaningful pictures, your chances of being placed are poor. That's why we recommend that our hostesses upload at least 10 photos in good resolution. You are also welcome to upload pictures of your jobs, trade fair stand, etc. You can find out how best to design your sedcard in our description for the right @Sedcard pictures.
   
• References / Experience: Have you already gained experience in your field of work? Then enter this under „References / Experience“. You have not yet gained any experience? Then just tell us a bit about yourself and why you are still suitable for a job in this sector.
   
• Availability: Hostesses, promoters or grid girls naturally have a higher chance of being proposed and placed for jobs if they are available for several locations in Germany. So even if a city is not in your immediate vicinity: Are there perhaps very good train connections? Or do you perhaps have relatives who live nearby and with whom you could stay overnight?
   
• Qualifications: Large trade fairs in Germany, such as bauma or the IAA, are teeming with international customers – foreign language skills are therefore a big plus for hostesses. So be sure to fill out this section completely! For us „the hostess GmbH“ it is important that the hostesses speak fluent German and also fluent English so that they can represent the customers at international trade fairs.
