Jennifer, Your suggestion of a reality show is an interesting approach. I would expect that it would be a low-cost method of hiring but would take lots of work to set it up. Your assessment of the tasks which they would need to complete would need to be very explicit. You would almost need to do a rubric for each and every task. There will still need to be an interview with all of the usual steps: review of resume, write questions, identify interview team, review/compare candidate performance with interview team following the interview and production activities, etc. In the recruiting process, along with your "normal avenues of advertising," you may want to consider referrals as well. This can be a great, inexpensive source of high quality candidates. Dr. Patricia Kapper
