General Questions About Westminster Search

What does Westminster Search specialise in?

We specialise in recruitment for PR, public affairs and policy roles. We work with agencies, in-house teams, charities, NGOs and membership organisations across the UK.

What makes Westminster Search different from other recruitment agencies?

We are specialists, not generalists. We know the sectors we recruit for, and we know the people in them. We would rather introduce you to three strong candidates than thirty average ones.

Which sectors does Westminster Search recruit for?

We recruit for PR agencies, public affairs agencies, in-house communications and public affairs teams, charities, NGOs, trade associations and membership organisations.

Are you a specialist or generalist recruitment agency?

Specialist. We focus on PR, public affairs and policy. This means we understand the roles, the language and the people better than a generalist ever could.

Do you recruit across the whole of the UK?

Yes. Most of our work is based in London, where the majority of public affairs and policy roles sit, but we recruit across the UK.

What types of roles do you recruit for?

Roles within communications, public affairs and policy, from account executive through to director and head of department. We do not recruit graduate or entry-level roles, and we do not recruit outside the communications discipline.

Do you recruit permanent or temporary positions?

Permanent positions only.

Can you help with confidential or sensitive appointments?

Yes. We regularly handle confidential searches, including replacing a serving employee or recruiting into a newly created senior role. Discretion is standard practice, not an add-on.

How much experience does Westminster Search have?

Westminster Search is led by a director with over fifteen years' experience in recruitment, across both agency and in-house environments. [Confirm: is there a separate founding date for Westminster Search itself that you'd like included alongside this?]

Who leads Westminster Search?

Westminster Search is led by Joseph Henry, Director of Recruitment. Joseph has over fifteen years' experience in recruitment, on both the agency and in-house side, and brings that experience to every search we run.
