Family Life Ministries, Inc. interviewe
Family Life Ministries, Inc. utilizes a few primary methods of securing qualified applicants. These sites also provide a good cross section of minority applicants. FLM also utilized in-house efforts by posting these positions, along with the position on its own website employment opportunities section as well as announcing current staff needs at FLM public sponsored events.
The various positions were filled as a result of contacts made through advertisements on online job sites as well as personal contact:
1) The on-air announcer position was filled as a result of a contact made from a reference from an existing employee who had worked previously with the one hired.
2) The full-time news anchor was promoted from a stringer position that he had been for a number of years.
3) The part-time news anchor was hired based upon previous work experience with the organization.
4) The public relations employee was hired after providing significant volunteer time with the organization over the previous year.
5) The Information Director was hired as a result of seeing the employment opportunity on the organization’s website.
6) The Chief Engineer was hired as a result of previous volunteer work with the organization.
During the previous year, many we corresponded were as a result of online advertising. However, the majority of our significant applicants came as a result of personal contact over the past few years and through Family Life’s own website. Most of the online applicants did not identify the exact service that they were responding to, but we did see reference to both to HisAir.net and AirTalents.com.
Of those interviewed for the various positions, seven were women, two were African-American. All the new full-time positions were filled by white males.
