Recruiting and hiring qualified employees – particularly sellers – is an ongoing challenge for radio and television stations in small and large markets.  If you’re in need of new ideas and tools to identify passive candidates, improve the branding of your station for current and prospective employees, interview applicants in a remote world, and much more,  look no further!

In this eight-part Talent Acquisition series, Laurie Kahn, president and CEO of Media Staffing Network, covers all aspects of recruitment, building a better culture, and becoming a “place to work” in your community.  All needed steps to attract a higher quality of job seeker, learn how to create and work your own talent pipeline, stronger interview tactics to uncover more about your prospective hires, marketing, sample on-air scripts, and more.  She discusses compensation and how radio and TV are making changes to traditional compensation plans.  And, with many of us still working remotely, Laurie addresses how to handle interviewing and onboarding in a virtual world.
