Public Relations Recruiters

Public relations professionals develop, enhance, and tell your company’s story to the world. Whether you are a marketing agency, PR agency, SaaS or ecommerce company, when you’re recruiting a PR pro for your business, you need someone who is a compelling storyteller. Someone who can amplify your company’s story for the right audience. From content marketing professionals with experience writing long-form copy (ebooks, whitepapers, blogs) and short-form copy (social media posts, paid search ads), to media relations and organic social media specialists, these communicators are critical to building your company’s brand, promoting your events, products, or services and driving growth in any industry. A recruiter with hands-on knowledge of the market can be a powerful ally in hiring these key team members.

Vetted has a proven track record of success as a leading recruiting firm for PR, public affairs, crisis communications, and marketing roles.

Once we are engaged in a search, we build relationships with clients and candidates alike, identifying the specific needs of the role and precisely what experience, skills, and education are required to excel in the job. We delve just as deeply in our conversations with prospective candidates, identifying their career goals and only sharing those candidates who are most closely aligned with what you’re looking for. This is why companies across industries trust Vetted as their recruiting partner, for both individual contributor roles and executive searches.

Carolyn Regan

SVP, People

Tim and his team ramped up quickly and were adept at understanding the ideal candidate profile for roles across several different departments. They did a great job building relationships with hiring managers and representing our culture.

Rachel Vingsness

Head of HR (former)

Tim was dedicated and fully invested… and had a far more effective approach to bringing in candidates than what we’d tried in the past. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in our recruiting!

Dan Sirk

Head of Marketing & Sales (former)

Tim felt like a true partner throughout the hiring process, not just an outside recruiter.

Julie Marobella

Head of Product (former)

I think you and your team are fantastic at what you do and really enjoy working with you.

Elizabeth Famiglietti

CHRO

Tim is a phenomenal recruiter. What set him apart was that he worked for me, the job seeker, rather than seeing me as a means to his ends of filling a position he happened to have. He has an uncanny way of identifying with his candidates, understanding how it feels to be in a position of uncertainty looking for new work, and giving every confidence that he can help uncover the right next opportunity.

Nathanael Sidmore

Sr. Manager, Ecommerce Analytics

From a job seeker’s perspective, Tim is the most professional and reliable recruiter that I have worked with… [he] took the time to listen and really understand my short- and long-term career goals. He always respected my time and never pushed positions on me that were not a good fit with my background, financial and quality of life requirements. I strongly recommend Tim to anyone who is either seeking a digital marketing position or looking to hire a digital marketer.
