Prepare a cost / benefit analysis of a range of media and agencies which may be used in recruitment and selection

A cost-benefit analysis is a process by which business decisions are analysed. 

The benefits of a given business-related action are calculated, and then the costs associated with taking that action are subtracted.

You can describe in general terms the costs associated with using employment agencies or the media.

Also you can describe the benefits which may include saving management time or having a wider range of candidates available.
