Public Affairs Recruitment FAQs

Do you specialise in public affairs recruitment?

Yes. Public affairs is one of our core specialisms, alongside PR and policy. We know the roles, the organisations and the people who work in them.

What public affairs roles do you recruit for?

We recruit across the full range, from Public Affairs Executive through to Public Affairs Manager, Head of Public Affairs and Public Affairs Director. This includes government relations, policy and stakeholder engagement roles.

Do you recruit political advisers and former political staff?

Yes. We regularly place candidates with a background in Parliament, Government or political organisations into public affairs roles.

Can you recruit someone with both public affairs and communications experience?

Yes. Many of the strongest candidates we place have experience across both disciplines. We understand how to identify and assess this combination.

How difficult is it to recruit experienced public affairs professionals?

The best public affairs professionals are rarely looking for a new role and rarely on job boards. This is where a specialist recruiter makes the difference: we know who they are and how to reach them.

Can you help us recruit candidates with Westminster experience?

Yes. We have strong networks among candidates with direct experience of Parliament, Government and the wider Westminster environment.

Can you recruit public affairs professionals outside London?

Yes. Most public affairs roles are based in London, but we recruit across the UK.
