Who I am
For over thirty years I have been the person South African PR, Marketing and Communications leaders call when the placement really matters.
Meet Joanne
The person behind every placement
For over thirty years, PR, Marketing and Communications leaders have called me directly, not a team and not a call centre. Me. I read every CV myself, I meet every candidate myself, and I only ever send you people I would stake my own name on.
I started Joanne Barrett Consulting because senior communications hires are far too important to hand over to volume and algorithms. From my base in South Africa I work with businesses across the country and around the world, and I would genuinely love to help you find the right person, or your next role.
What sets me apart
Not an agency, one person
What makes me different
I am not an agency. I am one person. Every CV that reaches you has been read by me. Every candidate personally screened and interviewed by me. No AI, no juniors, no volume filler.
Why it matters
A bad hire in a senior communications role costs a year of momentum and a six figure salary. I place people who stay.
Have a listen
Hear me in conversation
Prefer to listen? Here I am talking about hiring, careers and the world of PR, Marketing and Communications. Press play.
