Agency Hydra is a state of the art technology centric talent agency. It creates software that allows for a massive and diverse talent pool which casting agencies and production companies can use efficiently to streamline their needs. Agency Hydra differs from other talent agencies by having this unique, diverse, searchable talent pool and the development and application of technology. Agency Hydra is as much a software company as it is a talent agency. They are a modern approach to an industry lagging behind other markets due to its antiquated approach to both talent and casting agents alike.
