Methods of Recruitment

The media industry uses a number of techniques to recruit staff. The techniques that they use to advertise job roles in the media industry include:

National Press

The media section of The Guardian, for example, publishes every Monday. Every week this paper provides several pages of media jobs and include them on it's website.

Trade Publications

There are a number of media trade publications that have sections for jobs. Media Week is a publication that specialises in keeping media professionals informed about events in the media. They have a section of jobs in their magazine and on their website.

Recruitment Agencies

Recruitment agencies tend to recruit for specialist areas - the television industry, for example. Inspired Selection is an agency that specialises in both recruiting both creative and administrative staff for the publishing industry. The company has a website that includes jobs vacancies across it's offices in London and Oxford.

Online

Some media companies advertise their job roles online and even offer potential employers courses that they can attend to learn the skills necessary for the job. BBC Academy is a good example of this.
