GuidesFor AgenciesBookers. Agency members
An agency on Motherhunt is a team, not a single login. Every agency organization is made up of members who work together to discover, evaluate, and sign talent. Those members are the bookers.
This guide explains who bookers are, how they differ from the headbooker, how they join an agency, and what they do day to day on the platform.
Two roles inside an agency
An agency organization has exactly two kinds of members, defined by their role:
- Headbooker: the owner of the agency. The headbooker creates the organization, manages the bookers, sets the agency details and wallet, and is the one who places bids and sends transactions on the auction.
- Booker: a member of the agency. Bookers participate in the day-to-day workflows — discovering talent, building shortlists, and evaluating and selecting models for the headbooker to confirm.
Think of the headbooker as the captain who owns the account and signs off on money decisions, and the bookers as the crew who do the scouting and curation work that feeds those decisions.
What a booker does
A booker's core responsibilities live inside the agency workflow:
- Discover fresh faces that scouts list on the market
- Add promising profiles to shared shortlists
- Evaluate candidates against the agency's casting brief
- Leave comments and set priorities so the team stays aligned
- Surface the strongest talent for the headbooker to bid on and confirm
Bookers shape the shortlist and the recommendation; the headbooker carries it across the finish line with a bid. For the full picture of how these stages connect, see the Agency workflows guide.
Joining an agency as a booker
You do not apply to become a booker on your own — a headbooker invites you into their agency. The flow is straightforward:
- A headbooker sends you an invitation by email from the agency's bookers tab.
- You receive an email with a secure magic sign-in link. Clicking it signs you in (creating an account automatically if you are new).
- You land on the join-agency page, where you can review the agency and accept or decline.
- On acceptance you become a booker member and can switch into the agency from the account switcher.
Invitations expire after a set period and a headbooker can resend or cancel them. If you want to understand the agency side of onboarding first, read the Applying guide.
Working as a team
Because an agency can have many bookers, the platform is built around shared, collaborative work:
- Shortlists are shared across the agency, so several bookers can curate the same set of candidates — see the Shortlists guide.
- Evaluation criteria stay consistent across the team — see the Evaluating guide.
- Bidding and final confirmation stay with the headbooker, who owns the agency wallet — see the Bidding guide.
Clear ownership keeps the pipeline moving: bookers find and refine, the headbooker decides and commits. When every member knows their lane, the agency runs at the speed of the market.
