The document describes different recruitment methods used by creative media organizations including national press, trade press, word of mouth, personal contacts, internet, and internal promotion. It details the advantages and disadvantages of each method. National press allows wide exposure but many may not find the specific job wanted. Trade press more specifically targets an industry but the publication may not be widely known. Word of mouth has less competition but few jobs are shared this way. Personal contacts provide extra options but vacancies are not guaranteed. The internet makes applying easy but standing out in a large pool of applicants is difficult. Internal promotion benefits from employee knowledge but new ideas are not brought in.
