FAQs for PR Recruitment

Get important insights into the PR recruitment process

What does a PR recruitment agency do?

A PR recruitment agency specialises in hiring communications professionals for PR agencies, in-house teams, and brands. We don’t just match CVs to job specs — we understand agency structures, client demands, and what makes PR talent succeed long-term.


What types of PR roles do you recruit for?

We recruit across PR and communications, including:

  • Account Executive
  • Account Manager
  • Senior Account Manager
  • Account Director
  • Associate Director
  • PR Director / Head of Communications

We work across agency and in-house roles, with a strong focus on PR agencies.


How is PR recruitment different from general recruitment?

PR is a specialist market. Media relations, client management, storytelling, commercial awareness and agency pace are hard to assess without sector experience. As PR recruitment specialists, we understand billability, pitch pressure, client retention and progression paths — which leads to better, longer-lasting hires.


How long does it typically take to hire PR talent?

Timelines vary, but most PR roles are filled within 2–6 weeks depending on seniority and notice periods. Senior hires and niche specialisms may take longer. We prioritise quality and fit over speed, but always move efficiently.


Do you only recruit in London?

No. While London is a core market for PR recruitment, we work with agencies and candidates across the UK and internationally, as well as supporting hybrid and remote roles.


What makes a PR role attractive to candidates right now?

Beyond salary, candidates care most about:

  • Clear progression
  • Strong leadership and mentoring
  • Real flexibility (not just policy)
  • Agency momentum and stability

Agencies that communicate this clearly attract stronger talent.


How do your fees work?

Fees depend on role level and hiring model (contingent, retained, or exclusive). We’re transparent, competitive, and focused on long-term partnerships rather than transactional placements.


Still have questions?

If you’re hiring PR talent or exploring your next move in PR, we’re always happy to have a confidential conversation.

We specialise in PR recruitment for agencies and in-house teams across London and the UK, supporting both clients and candidates throughout the hiring process.
