Create an artist's job announcement for your publication. Emphasize job requirements, relevant experience and expectations. Publish the announcement to popular job websites to receive inquiries.
Review applicants to the job. Based on the criteria of the job requirements, eliminate applicants until you get 10 final applicants.
Set up interviews with the remaining applicants. Most will accept and show up for the interview, but not all. This further reduces the field of applicants.
Perform the interviews using your questions. Reduce your field of applicants to two finalists using your criteria. Make the final choice after consulting with executives and human resources.
