Read this before you decide whether to go further. It is the whole picture: what the show
is, what the work is, what it pays, and what is expected of you. Nothing here is a teaser.
If any of it doesn't suit you, that is a completely fine outcome and it costs you nothing
to say so now.
**Finessionals is a live daily broadcast that is also a hiring process, a paid training
program, and a working content studio — at the same time.**
You are not auditioning to maybe work later. From day one you do real work on real
brands, and the show is that work being done, on camera, five days a week.
Twelve seats. Four tracks. Thirteen weeks. The field narrows twice, and **pay rises as it
does** — the people still standing are doing more, and are paid more for it.
| Track | What you own |
|---|---|
| Technical Content Operator | The machine that turns one idea into finished content across brands and channels — authored cells in, rendered assets and validated publish payloads out, gates enforcing the rules at every step. |
| Creative & Brand Quality Lead | The standard everything published is held to, across brands with genuinely different rules. Writing is part of it; the larger part is reviewing other people's work against rails you didn't choose. |
| Live Broadcast Producer | The entire broadcast chain — scenes, routing, guests, run-of-show, fault recovery, archive. Every episode, plus the elimination nights. |
| Executive Manager (Brand GM) | One brand's outcomes end to end: talent, projects, show development, and sign-off on what ships under that brand. |
Three seats per track to start.
Fixed-price milestones against a deliverable. Never hourly. We define the week's
outcome; we don't count your hours. Operators fluent in the tooling finish well inside the
time it takes someone learning it, and they keep the difference.
| Track | Round 1 | Round 2 | Final |
|---|---|---|---|
| Technical Content Operator | $150/wk | $240/wk | $456/wk |
| Creative & Brand Quality Lead | $125/wk | $200/wk | $380/wk |
| Live Broadcast Producer | $125/wk | $200/wk | $380/wk |
| Executive Manager | $100/wk | $160/wk | $304/wk |
Paid biweekly on a published calendar. Periods run Sunday to Saturday, two weeks;
payday is the Friday six days after the period closes. The full schedule is published
before you sign — you will never have to ask when you are being paid.
Payments only ever move earlier, never later. Two dates shift in Season 1 for banking
holidays: Nov 27 → Wed Nov 25, and Dec 25 → Thu Dec 24.
Qualification is unpaid, and short on purpose. Stage 1 asks only for work you have
already done. The exercise that follows runs against a fictional brand and a local mock —
nothing you produce in it is used by us, ships anywhere, or has any value to us. That is what
makes it qualification rather than unpaid work, and it is why it is measured in minutes.
Everything after selection is paid, including your first milestone.
| Season 1 begins | Sun Oct 11, 2026 |
| Elimination 1 | Sat Nov 7, 2026 (week 4) |
| Elimination 2 | Sat Dec 5, 2026 (week 8) |
| Finale | Sat Jan 9, 2027 (week 13) |
Elimination streams run every 4th Saturday. If one ever falls on a holiday it moves
earlier, never later.
Episodes are two hours, five days a week, simulcast to YouTube, Twitch, Kick, X, LinkedIn
and vertical to TikTok/Instagram.
thing to be honest with yourself about.
the deliverable, not a separate rule. There is a real excused-absence budget — two per
round, with notice — because people get sick and a rule with no exception is a rule
nobody can follow honestly.
criteria, agreed as a team.
"Done" is not a feeling. For technical and creative work it is machine-checkable, and
the exact command is named in your contract. Nobody will ever argue with you about whether
your work deserved to be paid — only whether the criteria written down in advance were
met.
**Being excellent and being eliminated are compatible. Being eliminated and unpaid for work
you delivered is not.**
Stage 1 — qualify. Unpaid, and asks you to make nothing new. We want to see work you
have already done, plus three short written answers. Fifteen minutes.
Stage 2 — the exercise, unpaid, 30–45 minutes. This is where you touch the actual
system. It runs on a fictional brand; nothing you make in it is used by us.
Then: an offer. Contract, paperwork, start date.
There is no unpaid "trial project." There is no take-home that takes a weekend.
Everyone who appears signs a release, an IP assignment, and confidentiality terms first.
Nobody goes on camera unsigned — no exceptions, including us.
The release is scoped per round and re-affirmed at each transition, because the scope
genuinely changes: screening is not broadcast, the rounds are live worldwide, and the final
adds an ongoing contract. Clearance never silently carries forward.
You will get the document to read in full before you are asked to sign anything, and you
are encouraged to have someone look at it.
Beyond the twelve seats we keep three ranked alternates per track.
Being an alternate carries no obligations at all — no availability window, no meetings,
no requirement to watch or stay reachable. Take other work, including competing work. If a
seat opens mid-season we call in rank order; if you're unavailable you say no, it costs you
nothing, and you stay on the list.
If you are called, you are paid at the current round's rate and assessed from your
start date.
Everyone: reply confirming you are comfortable appearing live on camera, and give your
time zone and reliable daily overlap with US Central.
Technical Content Operator — everything is public, no credentials, nothing to install
beyond Python:

Clone it, runpython training/grade.py, and do exercises 1–3 inCURRICULUM.md.
About 30 minutes. Exercise 3 is the one we actually read.
Creative & Brand Quality Lead — you'll get two links and a password. You'll review two
weeks of a fictional brand's calendar against its rails, find what breaks them, and rewrite
one cell.
Live Broadcast Producer — send a recording of a multi-guest stream you personally ran,
and answer three fault-recovery questions.
Executive Manager — send one real artifact from a past role (redact freely) and answer
three questions about decisions you have made.
Ask them. If something here is unclear, that is our problem to fix, not a test of whether
you can figure it out. Getting stuck on an ambiguous instruction tells us nothing about you
and wastes your evening.
One standing rule, in both directions: **no part of this process will ever ask you for a
password, an API key, or access to a live account.** If anything appears to, it is wrong —
don't act on it, and tell us where you saw it.
