Solving the recruitment problem Podcast Episode · The Media Mentor · 10/17/2025 · 27m

I love this episode of the podcast because it shows that recruitment doesn't always have to be rubbish.

When I say rubbish, I mean bad for the company and for those applying.

The process is flawed and needs changing.

And Aegon has recognised that. Find out how

BBC public survey backs its mission, but questions its effectiveness The "Our BBC, Our Future" report highlights large gaps between what the public perceives as important and how well the broadcaster delivers on it

As ever @mattwalshjourno.bsky.social is excellent on this BBC survey.

The major issue comes from those that engage with the survey - and surveys generally - or do not engage.

This does not tell you the full picture. Far from it.

Jobs market enjoys post-summer bounceback The jobs market ‘bounced back’ in September post summer slump, according to the Recruitment and Employment Confederation.

Media has its own 'trends' - in terms of recruitment.

But encouraging to hear that recruiters feel the 'trickle' of new job listings will turn into a 'river' soon.

"Do the basics well. Keep job adverts simple and use normal language. Include salaries. Everyone deserves to be paid fairly"

Some fabulous insight on this week's episode of the MM podcast

It also offers hope that some companies care about recruitment

Lower Street Helps Brands Milk YouTube for Reach and Results A-moo-sing video launches video podcast production service

Lower Street says its new 'video podcast' platform is about going beyond simply adding cameras to an audio show

So basically it's video not podcast

The sooner we're clear that you can't make video without comprimising the magic of pure audio, the better

What everyone gets wrong about AI Do people really understand what AI is good for? Sam Bhattacharyya suggests that it's a tool that is being misused.

Really good piece on AI and podcasting.

I've been using Adobe's Podcast Enhancer for sound correction - and it is very good.

Use AI for the tasks it's trained properly to do and do well

London jobs market bucks nationwide trend The jobs market in London remains resilient despite threats from AI and worries about the forthcoming budget, data has shown.

"Automation is also impacting recruitment, with many entry-level tasks now handled by AI"

As you will hear on this week's podcast - automation does not always equal efficiency

I'm not quite sure why this organisation has an advert out for a 'volunteer' position in social media and comms that asks for a minimum of 5 years experience

If you want experience PAY THEM

This is not the job link as I won't be adding it to the pages

As many as 70 percent of #mediajobs are not advertised.

For freelance opportunities that figure is probably 90 percent

Late payments consultation: tackling poor payment practices

Just been alerted to this consultation - which I had missed.

It covers late payments to freelancers, something I would guess you all have experienced if you have worked self-employed in media like me for several years

Reuters getting a lot of mentions on news channels covering this huge day

It's worth remembering its brilliant work through some of the toughest times

It's two years since Issam Abdallah was killed in southern Lebanon - which underlines the 'risks' taken to cover this story

Taking a media job on the other side of the world Podcast Episode · The Media Mentor · 10/10/2025 · 24m

On the latest podcast I talk to Rhys Gunter about landing shifts whilst still studying, working with high profile talent at a young age and his decision to go to Australia - where he's been working on an award winning true-crime podcast

Taking a media job on the other side of the world

Hi there.

What time does Podcast listening happen? Share of Ear from Edison Research measures what percent of daily podcast listening falls into different parts of the day and night.

Interested to see this research suggesting that podcast listening (in the US) is greatest in the middle of the day - not at 'breakfast' as previously stated

"You’ve been a massive help to me, including making improvements to my CV and preparing me for interviews."

Lovely message from a client today after landing a full-time job.

It's made my week because this person has tried so hard over the last six months to crack it

Listening to music whilst adding jobs to the channel & web pages & reminded by a Guns N' Roses cracker of a 'texter' I did about 5 times on different radio shows.

"Pick your fave song with whistling in"

What G'N'R song was it?

(And yes it's good I'm not on the radio anymore!)

Media and the class divide

Delighted to feature the @cmnetwork.bsky.social on my latest podcast episode.

Luca Hussain discussed with me the challenges of breaking the class ceiling in media - and why it is so damaging

Whilst this comes from a different sector - the message is the same.

Do not lie on your CV and check the information is correct.
