Family Life Ministries, Inc. interviewed or corresponded with, in various forms 58 individuals who showed interest the various openings with the Family Life Network. Because of the economic situation and the fact that stability in the workforce at the Network, there was a much less need for new staff this year than the previous two years.
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.
On-air positions were filled as a result of contacts made through advertisements on online job sites. Both individuals who were hired for the afternoon drive co-host positions saw Family Life’s advertisement on online job sources. One individual who was hired had been interviewed eight years ago but was not hired at that time. This time the timing was right and he joined the team
The clerical position was filled after a number of applicants responded to an over-the-air and website announcement.
During the previous year, most of those we corresponded were as a result of online advertising. Most applicants did not identify exactly what service was responsible for their learning of positions, but the majority that did once again referred to HisAir.net. We had a few referrals from our advertising with TV & Radio Jobs.com; a few from the now defunct Radio & Records; and some others from online sites that picked up our ads listed on other websites. We also had a number of responders from Family Life’s own website.
Of those interviewed 13 were women, two were Latino and seven were African-American. The two new announcers are both white males and the clerical staff member is a Caucasian female.
