## How Rosterwoods Matching Actually Works
When a production posts a call on Rosterwoods, we don't just broadcast it to everyone. We surface the most relevant candidates first.
### What the algorithm considers
- **Department match** — Are you tagged in the right department?
- **Availability overlap** — Are you free during the shoot dates?
- **Location preference** — Are you based in Chennai or nearby?
- **Credit relevance** — Have you worked on similar genre or scale productions?
- **Rate alignment** — Are you in the production's budget range?
- **Verified status** — Do you have confirmed credits?
### What it doesn't do
- It doesn't rank by who paid to be promoted
- It doesn't hide profiles behind paywalls
- It doesn't favor people who apply first
### Why this matters for you
As a crew member, you get discovered based on merit and relevance — not just who knows the producer personally.
As a production, you get a ranked shortlist of people who actually fit the job.
This is what verified, algorithm-assisted hiring looks like for Kollywood.
