Fox Business Network has received more than 3,000 resumes for editorial and operations staff for the soon-to-be launched channel and execs have conducted nearly 500 interviews, so far.

FBN has hired staffers from CNBC, NBC, CNN and ESPN. We're told the hiring for the network and the website will continue through the launch. On the candidates, an insider tells TVNewser, "the talent pool is small for creative people with drive and intensity... they're being very selective."
