We also recently welcomed Joanne Watkins to the team as our recruitment consultant for external communications roles.
With 14 years of recruitment experience under her belt, Joanne's focus is on corporate and external affairs, policy and marketing communications, as well as digital and social media roles. Her experience on both sides of the fence ensures she truly understands the opportunities and challenges meeting comms professionals today.
Our recruitment consultants focus on senior-to-mid-level roles as well as offering exceptional career advice to communication practitioners, especially those who are between roles or seeking to develop their career further.
Support for every stage of the recruitment process
Our expertise
Our recruitment offering is overseen by Rebecca Tarry and Joanne Watkins, who have both enjoyed significant in-house communications careers.
Rebecca, who focuses on internal communications roles, worked at Barclays, BBC and Hill & Knowlton before moving into recruitment more than 15 years ago, while Joanne worked across an extensive range of B2B and B2C sectors before switching to focus on recruiting mid-to-senior-level external communications professionals.
Both Rebecca and Joanne offer clients and candidates the support they need to meet and achieve their objectives.
Our approach
We're proud of the network we've built over the last 12 years.
We build lasting relationships with candidates and clients, and rather than using an identikit approach, listen to their needs, goals and circumstances and all the context in between.
We care about the details.
Outplacement
We also provide an outplacement service for clients to support their corporate comms restructures and other changes, when this might mean candidates opt for redundancy.
This support covers:
-
preparing for a career transition
-
defining your career story
-
creating the best CV and cover letter
-
effective networking strategy, and
-
interview preparation and practice.
