Why are Airlines starting to sponsor?

Why are certain Airlines like Britannia., British European etc. advertising for sponsored pilots (semi sponsored) when there are so many quailified pilots in the market place?

There are hundreds of qualified pilots who vary in age, ability and experience that can't even get an interview and would love to join one of these operations.

What is the their operational thinking, does it make financial sense to half fund a pilot (£15-£30K, before type conversion) when there is an equivalent there for no expense?
