Why?
Business marketing people that deal with model and talent agencies know that the agency way is not the best way. Here are a few reasons that they have found:
1. Agencies say that they will screen models for you, and only send you the select few models that fit your project criteria. This is a lie. Most will send any model that approaches your criteria, pocketing fees as the client company is left to screen far more models that they would have to if they had booked models directly.
2. There are very few legitimate agencies in Florida, and just because they are licensed doesn't make them the real deal, or worth the effort of working with them. Most of these agencies make money by ripping off models, and most of those models don't know enough about the industry to realize that they've been scammed. Subsequently, this means very few complaints, and a favorable BBB rating as a result. Illegal and unethical business practices are not limited to select business practices, and goes all around. If they rip off models, the model and talent agency will try to rip you off, too!
3. Working with an agency is more time consuming than booking models directly. How many companies use temp agencies to hire good people? Does yours? Same difference. Booking good models is easier if it's done without an agency. Models that use this site seldom need to be screened, and can be evaluated by their looks.
Due to what we have found out in the course of our investigations, Independent Modeling, IndependentModeling.Com, can only recommend and endorse those agencies described in our MODEL TOOL section. We know of a growing list of companies that will no longer work with other agencies, and we recommend that businesses book models without them. It is our sincere hope, for the sake of businesses and models, that these unethical agencies go out of business soon. If you must work with an agency, please make sure that they are SAG affiliated, as SAG affiliated agencies are regulated by unions.

LEGAL NOTICE AND TERMS OF USE
Independent Modeling can not, and will not, be liable for any job offers contracted through our job board. We do not have the time to check out the job bulletins coming in, and all offers are unconfirmed. It is the responsibility of the model to do their homework before contacting the companies responsible for the job offer. We have articles on how to set up meetings, perform background checks, check business references, and negotiate contracts in our features section. Please study these articles and use the information. As Independent Modeling is NOT an agency, we do not employ bookers, and do not make money through booked referrals. We do not charge models when they book jobs from posts on this site. The job board is a free resource for companies offering jobs and models seeking them. This said, we reserve the right to refuse or reject any job posting that is obviously unethical in nature, and we will not knowingly post any offers for nude or pornographic work. We reserve the right to edit or remove posts at any time, without warning. All submitted material, including job posts, become the property of Independent Modeling, and may not be copied or reposted from our site to another site unless the posting company does so on their own.
As a footnote, modeling agencies seldom check out job offers, too, so make sure that the bookers that you work with do THEIR homework. Do not rely on the judgment of a booker, and check out the job offer before committing to a go see. State law forbids licensed agencies from knowingly sending models into harmful situations, and gross negligence on their part can be legally constructed as "knowingly", as ignorance is no defense.
