Set up your crew profile

Your profile decides which crew searches you turn up in. It also supplies the business details on your deal memos and invoices. How to sign in the first time is in Getting started as crew.

Step by step

1. Open your profile with the person icon in the top-right and tap Edit. Fill in your name and phone number. To change your photo, tap it. Your email address is the one you sign in with and can't be changed.
2. Under About, type your city in Location. Tap Turn on suggestions under the field to pick your city from a list, see location suggestions. Producers then see how far you are from their set, and search lists the nearest crew first. Your Location is also the address printed on your deal memos.
3. Add your roles under Specialisations with Add role. Each one is a Department plus a Job title, with a Daily rate excl. VAT and, if you like, the year you started in Active since. When the rate is empty or below the fair-pay floor for that job, Use floor fills the floor in. Add your main role first. New roles go below it, and a producer who searches without a role filter sees the rate of the role at the top. To change which role is first, remove the roles above it and add them again.
4. In Business details, search by company name or KVK number and pick your company. That fills in Company name and as much of Business address as the KVK register returns. Check the house number and postcode, and add them if they're missing. Then set VAT to VAT-registered (21%) or Small business scheme (KOR) – no VAT. If your business is based outside the Netherlands, a foreign VAT number takes the place of the KVK number.
5. Enter your VAT number and Bank account (IBAN) under Financial. On the KOR your invoices can go out without a VAT number, but your deal memo still asks for one.
6. Tap Save changes at the bottom. You can't save without at least one specialisation.

Your company name, KVK number, VAT number and IBAN go on your deal memos, and your full business details on your invoices. You can't send an invoice until they're complete. See Your business details. Your VAT number and IBAN are stored encrypted. Your profile shows only the last four digits, while the full numbers appear on your deal memos and invoices.

Optional sections

The rest of the profile is optional:

• Skills, Certifications and Professional associations count in crew search, so producers can find you on them.
• Gear lists the kit you can bring to a job. Its day rate is the starting price when a producer makes you an offer. See Gear.
• Dietary & allergies: only you see your allergies, and CrewShift doesn't show your dietary preferences or allergies to productions, so tell the production office yourself. See Dietary preferences and allergies.
• Accounting connects Moneybird or e-Boekhouden, as explained in Connecting your bookkeeping.

When you're not editing, empty sections fold into Complete your profile. Business details and Financial stay on that list, marked "Needed before you can send an invoice", until you fill them in. Tap a line to jump straight to that section.

Keep it current

Your availability follows from your bookings, so there's nothing to update there. Change your rates, roles and location when they change. See what producers see about you.
