Nearly one year after opening its doors to early users in beta testing, NollywoodCV has officially commenced full operations as a professional talent discovery and CV platform built exclusively for the Nigerian film industry.
The platform, accessible at nollywoodcv.com, describes itself as a dedicated space where Nollywood professionals can showcase their work, connect with industry decision-makers, and find career opportunities.
Its launch into full operations marks a significant moment for the industry, which has historically lacked a centralised, structured system for talent discovery and professional profiling.
NollywoodCV currently hosts over 500 talent profiles, has facilitated more than 42 casting calls, and claims involvement in over 30 productions since it began accepting users.
The platform caters to the full spectrum of Nollywood professionals, from actors and directors to makeup artists, cinematographers, sound engineers, script writers, and over a hundred other industry roles.
One of its flagship features is the Explore Talent page, which functions as a searchable directory of Nollywood professionals.
Users searching for talent on the platform can filter results by role, location, gender, language, and age bracket, making it possible to narrow down searches with significant precision.
The roles available under the Cast category include actors, actresses, lead performers, supporting roles, voice actors, stunt performers, and body doubles, among others.
The Crew category is even more expansive, listing over a hundred crew designations ranging from directors of photography and production designers to VFX coordinators, intimacy coordinators, film critics and YouTube content analysts.
The platform’s Jobs and Auditions section allows producers, casting directors, and production companies to post opportunities directly to the platform.
Job and Audition listing on the page can be filtered by category, separating general industry jobs from casting calls and auditions, and can also be filtered by state across all 36 Nigerian states and the FCT.
This geo-filtering system is particularly significant for productions operating outside Lagos, giving talent in states like Anambra, Rivers, Enugu, and Delta visibility to productions within their region.
The platform also runs a blog section organised into multiple editorial categories including News Posts, Reviews, Star Features, Career Mentorship, Editorial, and a weekly Top Movie Picks column.
The blog has already published content covering Nollywood news, film reviews, and industry features, positioning NollywoodCV not just as a professional directory but as a media destination for industry conversation.
NollywoodCV offers a free registration tier that allows users to create a basic profile, browse talent, and read blog content.
Premium subscribers can access full CV and filmography features, as well as the ability to post jobs, at a rate of ₦600 per month or ₦5,000 per year, the latter representing a 31 per cent saving over the monthly plan.
