Employers in both traditional and newer forms of publishing are increasingly using media recruitment agencies to find new people to work for them. Likewise, job seekers in these fields are also finding agents beneficial. The use of a third party is useful because it prevents a lot of time being taken up by the whole staffing process. The new worker knows all about the company and vice versa.

New media jobs have increased dramatically in the last few years. It is much harder, but still possible to be recruited into the traditional print and broadcast industries than it was some time ago. Whilst these newer formats have a do it yourself attitude and like to recruit from within, in order to increase their skills base they need to take on new staff. Agencies help them do this.

For the organizations themselves, the use of agencies alleviates the chore of finding their own people. This can be outsourced to an external body, for a fee, and has the added benefit of meaning that the recruits they take on will be pre-screened. They do not require their own recruitment staff.

Potential employees also benefit by this arrangement. Having met and been interviewed by the agent, they can allow them to take on the role of finding them a suitable job. The hard work of finding vacancies, applying and interviewing is taken away.

When you first involve an agent, they will need to ask a lot of personal and work information. It is likely that they will want some examples of what you can do. Once you have been accepted, it is up to them to research and match you to the right job.

Media recruitment agencies are working to match employers and employees. If you are either one of these and work in this field, consider engaging one. They will attempt to get it right every time.
