I've been with the Vancouver office for less than a year, and they just started fall of 2011. They are very very slow on getting you set up as a model, but they occasionally find you some quality work. I would say it's because they are still too new and their system is not quite built up yet.
Our agency director is a really nice guy, and he seems like a reasonable, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful person. i really wish they could be better at finding us gigs - most of them are non-paid and local fashion shows. they do seems to get better with time though.
i would say if you are a model with potential and want immediate work and you've got other offers, don't use numa. however, if ur more paid-back and only want to model part-time or as a hobby, they are good for that.

Haha, I don't know what you're talking about but Maxwell is very professional in what he does. He always pays on time and you can always set up meetings with him if you have any questions or concerns. If he was as bad as you claim he is, he wouldn't be able to sustain his agency in Calgary, let alone franchise. I've been a Numa model for 3 months now and I'm quite pleased. I just got a shoot with a small clothing line, nothing big, but its getting me somewhere. Happy modeling. Peace!

I was also scouted by Numa. Got my shoots for my portfolio and worked with a few clients. Maybe I'm just lucky. I get everything on time, paid on time, and overall had a very pleasant experience. I don't know about back then but Twyla (Maxwell's sister) currently works in the office almost every time I go there. She's like the sweetest person you'll ever meet. As for Maxwell, he's very intellectual. He always has something interesting to say. Haha, I can listen to him for hours. So I don't know about you. But I'm Numa for life. =)

Hi everyone, I'm the young girl (21 years old) supposedly was wearing a white thigh length T-Shirt and a pair of thong panties (not quite) First and foremost people reading this need to understand we were dealing with a lady that was so irrational we had to call the police. Secondly, I dress very stylish and professional as we are family friendly company - I have never been assaulted as I have been by this lady (Liana Yates ) My boss Maxwell was to cool with her, let her get in his face, get on his computer and prove a point. There were five people in the agency that witnessed what happened (I will suggest they all file a rebuttal) She could not find the information she said she had that would prove her point. Its funny she named my boss but then signed her name as Jane doe??? hmmm Sounds suspicious to me. Our agency is more than fair in hearing grievances but this person had no respect for the agency or herself. When I grow up I hope to be nothing like her. I hope this clears the air a bit. I'm sure our other staff will want to throw in some thoughts. The internet is a crazy tool - use it wisely :)
