The ranking mechanism bears dual significance, orchestrating the placement of profiles on both the job poster and applicant fronts. On the job poster side, profiles are sequenced in correspondence with the order of applicants, ensuring a streamlined evaluation process. On the applicant side, a dynamic percentage system takes center stage, affording a quantitative measure of an applicant’s compatibility with a given role.
Diving deeper into ranking, a pivotal facet is the potential for applicants to enhance their visibility through a featured application—a strategic move that appends a distinctive visual marker to their application, signifying their proactive engagement. At its core, the concept of rank furnishes a metric by which your profile is benchmarked against fellow applicants, essentially shaping the trajectory of your engagement on the platform.
What is Rank on Staff Me Up?
The inquiry of why one might not be basking in a higher ranking often finds its answer in the nuance of project dissection. Disentangling the projects you’ve been part of becomes imperative, as the emphasis rests not on the sheer volume of credits amassed, but rather the caliber of individual credits. Here, quality unquestionably surpasses quantity, as it not only bolsters your professional repertoire, but also nurtures the expansion of your network—an invaluable conduit to forging meaningful connections.
Equipping oneself for an upward trajectory in the ranking ladder necessitates a strategic embrace of comprehensive information dissemination. Factors such as the number of seasons you’ve contributed to, the identity of the production company and the temporal span of the production all come into play, painting a vivid canvas of your professional journey. In the grand tapestry of Staff Me Up’s ranking system, your profile’s allure is sculpted not merely by its credits, but by the stories they encapsulate and the relationships they foster, collectively culminating in a symphony of career growth and community engagement.

Note that the production company and the network are different. We do not rank your application based on network matches.
What you can do: Add your credits to your profile! Rank is not measured by “how” many credits you have, but it is best to break apart your credits into individual projects. For example, if you’re a staff editor at a production company you should not have one credit for “various”, but you should have one credit for each show/commercial/project you worked on.
