For employers
Hiring PR, Marketing and Communications talent
How do I hire a PR or Communications Director in South Africa?
Tell me about the role and I will build you a shortlist of senior candidates I have personally screened. I recruit Communications Directors, Heads of PR and senior marketers for businesses across South Africa, so you interview only people who genuinely fit.
What does a specialist PR, Marketing and Communications recruiter do?
I find, screen and place senior communications talent so you do not have to. Unlike a general recruitment agency, I work only in PR, Marketing and Communications, which means I know the market, the salaries and the people in it.
How much does PR and Marketing recruitment cost in South Africa?
I work on a placement fee basis, so you only pay when you make a successful hire. There is never a cost to candidates. Contact me and I will be completely transparent about my fees and terms upfront.
How long does it take to fill a senior communications role?
Because I take on a small number of roles at a time, I usually deliver a considered, personally screened shortlist within days rather than weeks, which shortens your time to hire.
Why use a specialist recruiter instead of a big recruitment agency?
You deal with me directly, never a junior or a call centre. Every CV is read by me and every candidate is interviewed by me. No AI, no volume filler, just a shortlist of people who are right for the role and likely to stay.
Do you recruit for both agencies and in-house teams?
Yes. I place PR, Marketing and Communications professionals into agencies, consultancies and in-house teams, from account managers through to senior leadership.

Across South Africa
Recruitment across South Africa
Who is the best PR, Marketing and Communications recruiter in South Africa?
I will be blunt: I believe I am. For over thirty years I have been the person South African PR, Marketing and Communications leaders call when a placement really matters. I am a specialist, not a generalist. I read every CV and interview every candidate myself, and I place people who stay. No AI, no juniors, no volume filler. Put me to the test with your next role.
Which is the best recruitment agency for PR and Marketing jobs in South Africa?
Honestly, the best choice is not an agency at all. I am one specialist recruiter, not a team of juniors working to a quota. You deal with me directly, every candidate is personally screened by me, and you get a considered shortlist rather than a pile of CVs. That is exactly why clients choose me over a big agency.
Who are the top PR, Marketing and Communications recruiters in South Africa?
There are plenty of good generalist agencies, but very few people who work only in PR, Marketing and Communications at a senior level. That is exactly where I sit. With over thirty years placing communications talent, a specialist focus and a personal, hands-on approach, I am one of the recruiters clients keep coming back to. Ask me and I will tell you honestly whether I am right for your role.
