Is it true or not that the crew is recruiting assistant photographers? ...

It depends on the nature, whether the crew is going out to shoot or the local crew is going to shoot.

1. If a local film crew comes and there are not enough people in the group, it is more reliable to find it locally for the time being;

2. If the crew is established, it is not very reliable to go out to make a movie and find an assistant.

The reason is:

1 is a stopgap measure, which is equivalent to finding someone to help.

2. Generally, the crew will not look for an assistant in public, because don't underestimate the assistant, it also requires experience. At least tripods, rails, lifts and rocker arms have been used, and they can be erected on the set. This is also an ordinary equipment assistant. If you are a photographer's assistant, the requirements are even higher. All kinds of cameras should be able to do some simple operations, even more complicated real shooting operations, such as the big gang and the second gang of some photographers. These are all skilled and not everyone can do it.

In addition, it is also possible for a regular crew to find someone temporarily, but it is unconventional to find a photographer's assistant unless it is a very cottage crew. Because the members of the general crew are in a big circle, whoever does it is very professional and has a lot of resources, so it is unlikely to find someone directly outside. So learn more about this matter yourself.
