Whatโs New in Zodel Update V 1.5, and Why Does It Matter?
The modeling industry has long depended on traditional modeling agencies with slow email chains, unclear markups, and limited access to the right talent.
Zodel Update V 1.5 changes that by giving brands, agencies, and event teams direct access to a large, verified talent pool through one seamless platform.
Instead of wrestling with a clunky process, you get a straightforward vision:
- Faster hiring: post a job in minutes, fill most roles within 24 hours.
- Better control: transparent budgets and industry-standard rate guidance.
- More reliability: verified models with regularly updated profiles.
- Nationwide access: staff campaigns and events across the country, not just one city.
In short, Zodel is revolutionizing how you hire, without asking you to change your whole life or workflow.
How Does Zodel Help You Hire Verified Models Faster?
When your show opens at 9 a.m., you donโt have time for long forms and back-and-forth emails.
You need a smooth process that lets you hire the right talent quickly and confidently.
With Zodel Update V 1.5, you can:
- Sign up and post a job in under 5 minutes
- Tap into a large, verified talent pool instead of a small agency list
- See real-time availability so you donโt waste time on booked-out talent
- Fill roles for expos, corporate events, retail activations, and toursโoften within 24 hours
You simply log into your account, set the job details, and click publish. Zodelโs smart matching does the heavy lifting, showing talent who match your category, city, measurements, and schedule.

Where Fast Hiring Really Pays Off
Think about:
- A fitness brand booking fitness models for a product launch in Las Vegas
- A real estate company staffing a booth at a Chicago expo
- A beauty campaign needing multiple models in Miami on the same weekend
Instead of juggling three different agencies, you use one platform, one login, and one simple, straightforward hiring flow.
What Is Smart Talent Matching, and How Does It Improve Quality?
Speed is helpful, but you still need quality and professionalism. Zodelโs smart matching system is designed to show you talent youโd actually trust on set or at your booth.
Hereโs how it supports better decisions:
- Only verified models with complete, up-to-date profiles appear in your suggestions
- You see the details that matter: measurements, skills, previous projects, portfolio shots
- You can filter for the right talent by nicheโlike fitness models for a sports event or high-fashion talent for a runway show
This gives you more control than traditional modeling agencies, which often share limited options based on whoโs โon their booksโ rather than whoโs truly the best match.
Keeping Profiles Current So Youโre Never Surprised On Set
Zodel Update V 1.5 puts a strong focus on reliability:
- Models are required to keep profiles updated on a regular schedule
- If they donโt log in and confirm their account details, theyโre automatically hidden from new jobs
- Youโre less likely to see outdated photos, wrong sizes, or ghosted messages
You get a better experience, and your clients see a smoother day-of flow. Thatโs a win for everyone.
How Does Zodel Improve Budget Planning and Rate Transparency?
One of the toughest parts of hiring models is knowing whatโs a fair rate. Pay too low and you lose good talent. Overpay and your margin vanishes.
Zodel Update V 1.5 introduces smart rate guidance that:
- Shows industry-standard ranges for different job types and cities
- Warns you when your rate is below market (high risk of no-shows or low interest)
- Confirms when your budget is in a sweet spot for strong applicants
- Flags when youโre going above typical rates, so you can adjust if needed
This kind of transparency is rare with traditional modeling agencies, where markup and fees are often hidden.
Simplifying the Hiring Process for Project Managers, Photographers, and Brands
If you are a photographer, a brand, a PR/advertising/event agency, or someone who needs to book models but have no clue what the right pay rate is for the job category, Zodel simplifies the process by providing insights into the industry standards.
When you are creating or editing the job, you will be alerted when:
1. Your pay rate is below the market rate, which may result in fewer talent applying to your job.
2. If your pay rate is above the market rate for the category.
3. And if your pay rate is within the standard, giving you a competitive advantage.
Giving Talent and Models a Competitive Start
Models can also leverage these insights when creating a profile and choosing their pay rate for a job or a category.
With Zodel, you see the numbers clearly, and the marketplace fee is as low as 5%, so more of your budget goes directly to the talent actually doing the work.
How Does Zodel Make Hiring Safer and More Reliable?
Even the best event plan can fall apart if your staffing feels shaky. Zodel Update V 1.5 leans hard into reliability and protection for both sides.
Key safeguards include:
- Secure funds holding: Zodel holds project funds and releases them after the job is complete
- 24-hour payouts: Models are paid within 24 hours, which supports professionalism and encourages repeat collaboration
- Clear legal agreements: Both brands and talent agree to clear terms before the job, so responsibilities are defined
- Structured working hours: Time slots and hours are tracked in the platform, helping you manage multi-day events and long projects
The result is a smoother life cycle for each bookingโfrom โsignโ to โwrapโ.
How Does Zodel Improve the Experience for Both Brands and Talent?
Hiring is only half the story. You also need the day-to-day experience to feel manageableโon desktop and on mobile.
Zodel Update V 1.5 offers:
- A clean dashboard where you can manage multiple jobs and projects
- Mobile apps for iOS and Android, so you can check applicants or approve hours between meetings
- Clear communication threads that keep everyone aligned, without messy group texts
For models and talent, itโs just as helpful:
- They can log into their account, update their profile, and apply to events that fit their skills
- They can see how many applicants a job already has, helping them decide where to focus their time
- A better workflow supports stronger professionalism, which circles back to better results for clients and brands
