What does a media staffing agency do?
A media staffing agency recruits producers, editors, designers and content leaders for broadcasters, publishers, agencies and in-house brand studios. GlobalCybers places them permanently onto your payroll, not on freelance or project contracts, which in a field built on freelancing is the whole differentiator. Because there is no licence to check, we verify credits: we confirm production credits with the company or publisher named, and test portfolio ownership by walking through the work and asking what the candidate personally did on it. RPO at $2,999/mo, or Direct Hire at 12-20% on a successful hire only.
Need a permanent content team instead of a freelance roster?
A freelance roster is flexible and expensive, and it never builds a house style. Brand voice, asset organisation, and knowing which footage exists and where it lives are all institutional, and a roster loses that knowledge on every project. A permanent hire is a one-time fee and turns a pile of finished deliverables into a library and a standard somebody owns.
How It Works

Roles We Place
12+ Media Roles, Permanent Placement
Credential Verification
Every Licence & Cert Verified Before Delivery
Unverified candidates never appear on a shortlist. We check directly against the issuing authority, not self-reported documentation.
Production credits, confirmed at source
Credits are the currency of this industry and the easiest thing to inflate. We confirm the credit with the production company, network or publisher named, and record the actual role, because an associate producer credit and a producer credit describe very different work on the same project.
Portfolio ownership, tested by walkthrough
A portfolio shows what a team shipped, not what an individual did. We walk through selected pieces and ask what the candidate personally executed, what the constraints were and what they would change, which reliably separates the person who made the work from the person who was in the room.
Toolchain and workflow depth
We record the actual post and design toolchain, Premiere, Avid or Resolve, the colour and audio workflow, and the asset-management system in use, along with the delivery specifications the candidate has actually worked to. Broadcast delivery and social-first delivery are different disciplines.
FAA Part 107 and union eligibility
Commercial drone work requires an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate, which we check in the FAA airman registry. Where a role sits under a guild agreement, we confirm the candidate's eligibility status rather than leaving it to be discovered at offer stage.
Pricing
Two Models, Same Quality
Direct Hire
Of first-year salary · on successful hire only · no retainer
90-Day Written Guarantee: If a placed media professional leaves or is terminated within 90 days, we replace them at no additional cost. Available on both RPO and Direct Hire models.
Employer Value
What an Open Media Seat Costs, and How We Cut It
An unfilled content seat means slipped publishing schedules, freelance invoices covering the gap and a brand voice that drifts. Here is what the delay costs and how we shorten it.
A verified 3-5 shortlist lands within 48 hours of a complete brief, with credits already confirmed.
Every production credit is confirmed with the company named, so you hire the person who did the work rather than the person who was near it.
Pay only when you hire, at 12-20% of first-year salary. RPO is a flat $2,999/month for continuous content hiring.
If a placed media professional leaves or is let go within 90 days, we source a replacement free under both models.
