UK FILM & TV · LOCATION MARSHAL HIRING

A clearer way to hire location marshals across UK film and TV production.

Post a structured shift. Review applicants in one place. Choose with confidence — without trawling WhatsApp groups, forwarded emails, and word-of-mouth chains.

Two questions. About thirty seconds. We won't share your details.

§ 01WHO IT'S FOR
A · Hiring side

Location managers & production-side decision-makers

You need a quicker, clearer way to post marshal shifts, see who is actually available, and choose someone you can stand behind — under real production pressure.

  • Post a structured shift in under a minute.
  • See every applicant for that shift in one place.
  • Accept one marshal. Contact details release after acceptance.
  • Keep a running record of who has worked with you before.
B · Working side

Working location marshals

You need a professional way to find real shifts, present relevant experience clearly, and start building credibility through completed work — not group-chat reputation.

  • See live shifts that match your region and availability.
  • Apply once, properly. No re-typing for every chat.
  • Build a quiet record of completed shifts over time.
  • Keep your contact details private until a manager accepts you.
§ 02THE LOOP

How marshal hiring runs through MarshalHQ

  1. 01

    Post a structured shift

    A clear brief: dates, call, base, unit, notes. The same fields every time, so applicants know what they are applying to.

  2. 02

    Marshals apply

    Working marshals see the shift, review the brief, and apply with relevant experience attached.

  3. 03

    Review applicants in one place

    All applicants for that shift, side by side. No scrolling group chats. No forwarded CVs.

  4. 04

    Accept one marshal

    Choose your marshal. Contact details for that person are released to both sides only after acceptance.

  5. 05

    Shift completed

    After the shift, a small, factual record is kept, quietly building early trust signals over time.

That is the whole product. No payments, no payroll, no in-app chat, no public ratings.

§ 03WHY IT EXISTS

Marshal hiring works. It is just messier than it needs to be.

Most location marshal hiring still happens through WhatsApp groups, forwarded messages, and word of mouth. It works, but it is hard to compare applicants, hard to keep a record, and hard to keep contact details where they belong until someone is actually booked.
