Christy Media Solutions: Broadcast Recruitment

---

Christy Media Solutions has recently underlined its commitment to delivering first class recruitment services to the broadcast industry, by becoming an IABM member and enabling staff to complete IABM Educational Foundation training courses, to achieve Certified Broadcast and Media Technologist Associate status.



The IABM Educational Foundation has been set up as an independent registered charity, providing knowledge and skills certification for individuals working in broadcast and media technology, across the industry and on an international basis.



Sophie Scard, Marketing Manager at Christy Media Solutions, explains: "The purpose of undertaking the IABM training is threefold: For existing, experienced recruitment consultants, the training offers an opportunity to consolidate their knowledge of the industry and gain a deeper understanding of the various technologies and roles that broadcast clients seek to fill.



"For consultants and staff with less industry specific experience, the training serves as an unbiased introduction to the industry, providing a better understanding of where Christy Media's customers are positioned in the broadcast workspace and an appreciation of their commercial concerns and business priorities.



"Finally, the investment the company is making in its employees, to improve the service we deliver, can be seen by our clients as underlining our commitment to continuing in our role as the leading broadcast recruitment specialists. The training that the team have received is not tied to any particular broadcaster, manufacturer or vendor and the stated aim is to provide a balanced and impartial view of the subject."



Following their training, members of the Christy Media team sat their IABM exam, and having passed, are now certified as Broadcast & Media Technologists (Associate level) by the IABM.



Christian Magill, Principal Consultant, explains the philosophy behind the significant financial investment that the company has made in this area: "I recognise the importance of investing in staff training to empower our team – they feel valued by the company's investment and commitment to them and more confident in their understanding of the roles they are recruiting for anand their customers' business models.

"The training also benefits hiring managers, as our delivery team have gained an enhanced knowledge of broadcast specific technologies and the candidate skill-sets required for technical roles, as well as a better understanding of our clients' business priorities.
