Recruitng the people who deliver your message
Who we work with
Public Affairs Agencies
A candidate-scarce market that rewards recruiters with genuine network and sector knowledge. We find the Account Managers, Account Directors and senior consultants that your process cannot reach.
PR Agencies
The inbox fills up. The right candidate is not in it. We go and find the person who is performing well elsewhere and would move for the right opportunity.
Property, Planning & Built Environment
A specialist niche that demands a specialist recruiter. We know the sector, the agencies and the people, and we have the placements to prove it.
Charities and NGOs
Mission-driven organisations need professionals who are capable and committed. We find candidates who chose this sector because the cause matters to them.
Membership Bodies and Trade Associations
Your members need a credible voice. We find the public affairs and communications professionals who can be that voice, with authority, clarity and genuine sector understanding.
In-house Public Affairs & Communications Leadership
Senior in-house appointments are among the most consequential hires an organisation makes. We conduct them with the discretion, depth and judgement they require.
Communications Recruitment Expertise
Westminster Search is led by Joseph Henry, who brings 16 years of experience across politics and recruitment, beginning with a career in Westminster and Holyrood and developed through over a decade of specialist recruitment, executive search and in-house hiring.
Our network is not sourced from LinkedIn. It is built from years working inside public affairs, communications and campaigns.
That background is the difference between a recruiter who reads job descriptions and one who understands the work.
