GigSalad: Hire Entertainers

This platform doesn’t let you browse available talent in your area. Instead, you have to fill out very specific details about your event—what type it is, all the associated info, and the exact kind of entertainer you’re looking for. From there, it seems like the platform pushes your request out to performers for quotes. That setup feels limiting. I’m not even sure if you can request multiple types of performers at once (for example, a clown and a face painter, or an aerialist and an illusionist). Event hosts often need multiple acts, and it would make much more sense to see who’s available before committing to such detailed forms. Right now, it feels a bit like sending your request into the void without really knowing who might respond. A more useful model would be something like Thumbtack or Fiverr, where you can browse, explore, and get inspired—even spontaneously book someone you didn’t realize you needed until you saw them. That would benefit both event hosts and entertainers. I also wonder how it looks from the entertainers’ side—can they list multiple skills and be considered for more than one type of event, or is it just as rigid for them too? Either way, the current system feels unnecessarily restrictive. Remember that people shop with their eyes.

Been on Gig Salad one month. No gigs. Scam to pay for upgrades.
