My name is Candice  and I own Cain Casting & Talent Management in Brookhaven, NY. I have 280 people on my talent roster. You can imagine my surprise and dismay when I learned that Rocket Talent Search was calling several people on my talent roster to solicit them to become clients. NOT COOL. This is considered poaching. I called the number for Rocket Talent Search that one of the concerned parents gave me, and the woman that answered the phone told me that she was "just an appointment setter" and wouldn't tell me where she received the child's and parent's information. 

This is absolutely frightening. She also told some of these parents that she could "get them on Disney and Nickelodeon." Absolutely NOT. The only way someone can land a role on Nickelodeon, Disney or any other channel is to audition for it and EARN the role. My clients felt that they were a talent agency, which they certainly are not. 

It is very disappointing that there are companies like this out there that will prey on parents that just want to help their kids get ahead.

Simply NOT The Best

AUTHOR: CandiceCain - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, February 17, 2015

Libel is written word, not slander. Rocket Talent called several people on my talent roster to solicit them. My talent called me. The representative from Rocket Talent told my clients that they would "get them on Disney and Nickelodeon" without even meeting the child. I would love to know how much work Rocket Talent has actually gotten their talent, and what casting companies they work with. You cannot claim to be the best, when Cain Talent was already bestowed that honor. 

All I know of this company is that they tried to solicit people already working with Cain Talent. It really isn't good business practice to poach clients-- Or to attempt to do so.
