Posting a job or brief

Hiring or commissioning? Post at fooh.com/post-brief. You'll need an account, then the form walks you through it.

Job or project?

Pick at the top of the form:

• Hiring (Job) — an employment position. You'll set the employment type (full-time, part-time, contract) and a salary range. A job post is paid: €149 or $149 plus VAT per 30 days.
• Freelance (Project) — a brief for one piece of work. You'll set who you're looking for (freelancer, studio, agency, or any), a budget range, and a timeline. A project post is free: no payment, no checkout. Instead, FOOH checks every project before it goes live (see "Projects: free, and reviewed first" below).

The form — three steps for a job, two for a project

Step 1 — details. Title, discipline (CGI, VFX, AI Video, 3D Animation, Motion Design, Creative Direction, or Other — pick Other to type your own), and location — start typing a city and the country fills in. Tick Open to remote if the role can be done remotely (it's independent of the location, so an on-site role can still be open to remote). Depending on the type you'll also set the employment type and salary range (jobs) or who you're looking for, a budget range, and a timeline (projects). Then the description, and — for a job only — where can people apply?, the external link applicants are sent to (your careers page, ATS link, or a mailto: address). A project doesn't ask for one: artists apply to it through FOOH (see below). The Company information section at the bottom collects your company or brand name, your website, an optional logo (JPEG, PNG, or WebP, up to 5 MB), and a contact email.

Discipline and location power the job directory, so your post also shows up on the matching boards (for example a CGI role in Berlin appears under CGI jobs and jobs in Germany). When you save, the city you picked is matched against a world list of places (every city over 15,000 people and every country), and that is the place the board and Google's job search use; for a smaller town only the country is kept.

Step 2 — preview. See exactly how your listing will look — title, description, and the company card with your logo, website link, job type, location, and date. Hit Edit listing to go back. For a project, Submit for review sends it to FOOH and you're done — there is no step 3. For a job, Continue takes you to checkout.

Step 3 — checkout (jobs only). First an order summary on FOOH: the listing, its price (€149 or $149 plus VAT per 30 days, depending on your region), and one checkbox — you accept the terms, confirm you're purchasing as a business (Unternehmer), and consent to the listing going live immediately, which ends any right of withdrawal. Listings are sold to businesses only, so you can't continue without ticking it; the moment you tick it is recorded with your order. Continue to payment then takes you to Stripe's secure checkout. Enter your billing address, your business tax ID (for EU companies, your VAT/UID number), and your card. VAT is calculated from those details — an EU business with a valid VAT ID pays via reverse charge, so make sure to enter it.

The description carries the post. Format it with bold, italic, and bullet or numbered lists so it stays scannable: what the work is, what you expect, how to stand out. A short line that is only bold ("About the role", "What you'll do") shows as a section heading on the job page. Short on time? Hit Rewrite with AI in the description toolbar to tighten up and structure what you've written.

How people apply

To a job: applications are handled on your side. The Apply for this position button on your listing links straight to the apply URL you provide, so candidates land in your own careers page or ATS (or email you, if you used a mailto: link). FOOH doesn't collect job applications for you.

To a project: artists apply through FOOH. The Apply to this project button asks them to sign in, then sends their application to you as a message — it arrives in your Messages, with the usual email to let you know, and the thread names the project it's for. Reply there like any conversation. Each artist can apply once per project, and your email address is never shown on the listing; the contact email you give on the form is for FOOH to reach you.

Who sees a project. Your full brief and your company are shown to FOOH members only. Visitors without an account see a teaser: the title, budget, timeline, who you're looking for, where, and the opening lines of your description — so put the hook first. Joining is free for them, and it's one click from the teaser. A project isn't sent to Google's job search; a job is.

Projects: free, and reviewed first

A project post costs nothing. Because anyone can post one, a person on the FOOH team checks every project before it goes live — usually within a day:

• After Submit for review, your project is Waiting for review under Account → Your Jobs. Nobody else can see it yet: it isn't on the jobs board, in search, or at its link. You can open it there to check it, edit it (your changes are what we review), or delete it.
• Once approved it goes Live on the jobs board for 30 days, and we email you at your account's address. It also goes out to artists subscribed to FOOH's job emails — as its teaser (title, budget, timeline, who you're looking for, where, and the opening lines). Your name, contact details and the rest of the brief stay on FOOH, for signed-in members.
• If we decide not to publish it, it shows as Declined under Your Jobs and we email you. It stays unpublished — only you can see it — and nothing else about your account changes. The email is the same short note for every declined project; if you think we got it wrong, reply to it or write to hello@fooh.com and we'll look again. A declined project can't be edited or renewed back into review; you can delete it and post a new one.
• You can have up to ten projects waiting for review or live at once. The eleventh is refused until one of them is deleted or closes.
• There is no business declaration and no checkout for a project — a club, a studio, or one person can commission work.

Managing your live project

Open your project (click it under Account → Your Jobs) to manage it from the owner bar at the top. It shows until when the project is live.

• 30 days live. A project closes by itself 30 days after it was approved: it leaves the jobs board and stops taking applications. Your conversations with artists who already applied stay in Messages.
• Close it early. Found your artist? Hit Close project in the owner bar. It leaves the board straight away.
• Renew it. A closed or expired project shows Renew for 30 days. Renewing sends it back to FOOH for review — just like a new project, usually within a day — and it's live for another 30 days once approved. It's free, and it counts toward your ten projects while it waits.
• Edit it. Hit Edit, change what you need, then Send changes for review. FOOH checks your changes before they go public. A straightforward update (a fix, a clearer description, a new budget or timeline) is usually approved by an automatic check the moment you save, and you land on your live project with the change in place. Anything else goes to a person at FOOH, usually within a day; until then, the version we already approved stays live — an edit never takes your project offline. The owner bar (and Your Jobs) tells you while your edit is waiting. Want to change it again? Edit again — we review your latest changes. If we don't approve an edit, your project simply stays as it was. A project that is still waiting for its first review is different: your changes there just update what we review.
• A project can't be switched into a paid job post. To post a job instead, close the project and start a new post.

Pricing and going live (jobs)

• A job listing is €149 (or $149) plus VAT every 30 days — a subscription that keeps your post live. Cancel anytime. The price is shown on the form before you post and again on the checkout step; you never meet the number for the first time on Stripe's page.
• Prices are net. VAT is added at checkout from your billing address and tax ID: Austrian VAT for Austrian buyers and EU buyers without a VAT ID, reverse charge for EU businesses with a valid VAT ID, no Austrian VAT outside the EU.
• Job listings are sold to businesses only (studios, agencies, brands, self-employed professionals). You confirm this on the checkout step.
• You're charged now, then again every 30 days while the listing stays active. Each charge comes with a proper invoice by email.

Pay by card via Stripe on the checkout step. Your post goes live once the first payment completes.

Drafts — editing, finishing, or deleting

If you leave a job before paying, your listing is saved as a draft under Account → Your Jobs. Click the draft to re-open it in the editor exactly one step before checkout — make your changes, then Continue to pay and go live, or hit Delete draft at the bottom to remove it. Drafts aren't visible to anyone until paid.

Started a project back when projects were paid and never finished it? It's still a draft under Your Jobs: open it and Submit for review — there's nothing to pay. If it had already reached the payment page, the form can't submit it; email hello@fooh.com and we'll move it to review for you.

Editing a live listing

Already live? You can still fix or update it. (A project's edits are reviewed first — see "Managing your live project" above. This section is about job posts.) Open the listing (click it under Account → Your Jobs) and hit Edit in the owner bar at the top. Change the details, then Save changes — the update goes public right away, with no extra charge. One thing stays put: the listing's web address doesn't change even if you edit the title, so any links you've already shared keep working.

Cancelling

A project has nothing to cancel — close it instead (see above). For a job post, open your live listing (click it under Account → Your Jobs) and hit Cancel subscription in the owner bar at the top. It stays live through the period you've already paid for, then closes — you're not charged again.

A listing that has closed or expired leaves the board and loses its Apply button, but its link keeps working: visitors see the role as it was, marked Closed or Expired, with current jobs to look at instead. That page may still appear in search, clearly marked as ended. While you're signed in, the same link shows you your own listing instead, not that page: the owner bar says it's closed or expired and offers Delete — plus Renew for 30 days on a project; editing is for drafts and live listings. (A closed project has no public page: its link shows only to you.) Deleting it removes the page for everyone, so old links stop working.

If FOOH already listed the role

FOOH also lists roles it finds on studios' own careers pages. If you buy a listing for a role that's already on FOOH, we may combine the two so candidates find one page for it: your listing — your words, your apply link — is shown on the page that already existed, and your listing's own link forwards there. Nothing waits for this: your listing goes live the moment you pay, as always.

Combining changes where your listing is shown, nothing else. It stays yours under Account → Your Jobs: you edit it and cancel it there as before, and your price, paid period and billing don't change. When you open your own listing link you'll see a note saying where it's shown. A listing that has been combined can't be deleted — cancel it instead, or contact us.
