Looking for a new job? Or just want to be better known?

Maximise your chances of being seen and heard by radio industry employers throughout Asia with our new Talent Bank feature.

Programmers, managers and executives trawl the net for ideas on who to employ.

Our new Talent Bank will make it easier for them to view talent in the one place and make it easier for talent to showcase themselves.

Announcers, producers, publicists, journalists, managers, programmers… in fact anyone who works in any radio job can use our Talent Bank.

Job Seekers

Just out of a training course and looking for your first job?

You can upload your audio or link to your online demo to help you be discovered and offered your first gig in this exciting industry.

Getting a talent profile is FREE, but to avoid spammers, you must register and provide us with your contact details. We won’t sell or use your data in any way except to communicate with you directly from AsiaRadioToday.

If you’re not looking for a job but still want to  be visible, then register and upload your details, but tick the box that says “not currently looking” or put in a note to let people know your status.

The Talent Bank is not the only way AsiaRadioToday helps you recruit the best talent. We also offer a cost-effective job ad service on our job ads page.

Did you know…

A recent study by Macquarie University in Australia (Jepsen, Knox-Haly & Townsend, 2014) found that the major trend in recruitment in the last ten years is a shift towards online job advertising. AsiaRadioToday can help you reach the right people with your online ads.

The University study found that:

· Online job boards now play the role that classified newspapers once did. Generalised and specialised job boards advertise vacancies across all industries and sectors, skills levels and employment types.

· There has been an increase in vacancies advertised directly by an employer on their corporate, careers or vacancies websites. This strategy reflects an increased emphasis in the reputation (or ‘brand’) of employers who are seeking high quality employees.

· There is a rise in the number of job search aggregator sites that crawl the web for vacancies. These sites find vacancies on job boards [such as AsiaRadioToday], employer, or recruitment agency sites and present them to the job seeker in a single search…

Skilled and professional recruitment seems to rely on specialised job boards, organisational advertisements, recruitment agencies, overseas advertising and recruitment. (Jepsen, Knox-Haly & Townsend, 2014)

Our site is optimised to allow you to target the right people and to maximise search aggregation. If they’re not reading online industry sites and don’t have a social media account, they’re probably not the people you want to work for you, are they? As the study says, “skilled and professional recruitment seems to rely on specialised job boards,” such as our site.

Have you ever advertised a job on a general job ads site and been excited to receive hundreds of applications… only to find that most of them are not suited to your job and have no experience in the media industry. It’s disappointing and time wasting.

Specialist industry site job pages, like AsiaRadioToday, help ensure that you only get qualified candidates who already have relevant radio industry experience – otherwise they would not be reading a radio industry website!

The benefit of advertising on a specialised industry site, rather than a general employment site means that the cost per qualified applicant is usually lower and unqualified applicants do not usually apply.

The university study says:

Social media is playing a large and increasing role in recruitment. LinkedIn is increasingly used by recruiters to advertise vacancies to professionals. Other social media sites, e.g., FaceBook, Twitter are important tools used by recruiters mainly to refer personal or professional networks to a vacancy advertised elsewhere. Social media is also used by many employers to research particular candidates applying for roles. In turn, job seekers conduct Google searches on potential employers, or use crowdsourced forums such as Whirlpool or Glassdoor to research employers, employment practices, recruitment practices and even interviewing questions, styles and insights. These web resources result in a new transparency in the recruitment process for stakeholders such as employers, applicants and recruitment agencies.

As well as posting jobs on our site, AsiaRadioToday socialises the job ads to its thousands of followers on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter by email and social media alerts. We can maximise your job search to help you select the right candidate

We hope these new features will make Asia RadioToday even more useful to you then ever before.
