AV Staffing Built for Production Companies
Stop overpaying staffing agencies for AV labor. Booked AV connects your production company directly with freelance audio engineers, video technicians, lighting designers, and stagehands — on your terms, at your rates.
Why Production Companies Need a Better Way to Staff Shows
Running a production company means managing crew for dozens — sometimes hundreds — of shows per year. Every event needs a different mix of audio engineers, video operators, lighting techs, riggers, and stagehands. And every market has a different labor pool.
How Production Companies Use Booked AV
AV Roles Production Companies Staff Most
Stop Losing Margin to Agency Markups
When you hire through a traditional AV labor broker or staffing agency, you're paying 30–50% above the technician's actual rate. On a 10-person crew for a 3-day corporate event, that markup can cost thousands of dollars — money that comes directly out of your production budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I post multiple crew positions for one event?
Yes. Post each position as a separate listing with specific role requirements, dates, and pay rates. Technicians apply to the positions that match their skills.
How is Booked AV different from an AV staffing agency?
Staffing agencies add 30–50% markups and act as middlemen. Booked AV lets you post directly and hire directly — no dispatcher, no hidden fees.
What types of AV techs can production companies hire?
A1/A2 audio engineers, V1/V2 video techs, L1/L2 lighting techs, lighting directors, riggers, master electricians, crew chiefs, stagehands, and forklift operators.
How fast can I fill positions?
Most production companies receive qualified applications within hours of posting, especially in major metro areas.
Is there a contract or subscription?
No contracts or monthly fees. A posting fee is charged upfront when you publish a listing and is non-refundable whether or not the position is filled. A separate filled-position fee only applies if one is configured in platform settings and you accept a technician.
