Extend your creative team with confidence

At NEXODUS, we're rewriting the script on hiring talent in the visual effects industry. We're not a staffing agency or recruiter; we're a cooperative of passionate artists who’ve worked at many of the world’s top VFX studios, and have united to deliver exceptional talent, uncompromising quality, and a host of benefits that truly set us apart.

Hiring Simplified

If you're accustomed to working with independent contractors, you'll find booking through NEXODUS refreshingly familiar. We provide a seamless experience for booking top-tier artists, with just one difference – you'll receive one invoice for multiple artists, streamlining your administrative process while maintaining creative excellence.

Compliance and Peace of Mind

All our artists remain employees of NEXODUS, ensuring that they're fully covered under all necessary taxes and insurances, including workers' compensation. We handle all of the state-by-state compliance so you can easily hire any of our remote artists. Rest easy, knowing that your project is in safe hands, and your legal obligations are met.

Exceptional Talent

We take talent seriously. Every artist that joins NEXODUS undergoes a rigorous vetting process lasting a minimum of six months. This ensures that when you book talent through NEXODUS, you're not just hiring someone; you're engaging true, proven expertise.

A Cooperative Force

As a worker-owned cooperative, our mission goes beyond business. We've joined together to create a supportive community that empowers our members and ensures that they receive essential benefits like health insurance and a 401(k) plan. When you work with NEXODUS, you're supporting a cooperative vision that benefits everyone.
