is the Australian Talent Management agency good?

I am working for ATM and let me tell you that after hearing from some of our extras that I should review the forum on this site I am appalled. It is a little disturbing that I am reading such cynical comments from people who assume the worst. We have had no one asking our firm for neither references nor validation of our management team’s credentials. I agree that resumes can be falsified and you do need to check references however it is ridiculous to post defamatory comments without even requesting this... It is free to join our books and in no way is it a prerequisite to work for our firm to join the higher levels of membership. Our higher levels of service that are offered to people who can afford to show commitment and contribute to the initial setup costs of promoting them to almost 2500 advertising agencies, casting directors and production companies. There are too many people in this industry that simply send in applications so they can claim there dole check. The costing of our optional higher levels of service are well below other similar websites and our network is second to none. We also are prepared in many cases to cover all the costs for us doing this providing that the applicant shows the right attitude. To Mr. David Green We have no affiliation to any other agency in Australia our network is world wide we have offices in New York, India, Brisbane and Melbourne. I took the time out to do what you didn’t do and that is research you. This is what I found: “I started running companies is because people told me that I was too young, too inexperienced, not funded and didn't have the education behind me…all the while these people are stuck in jobs they hate, flipping burgers, focusing on their studies, or not even doing anything.” And low and behold your website has copied everything we do.
