Why should I use PR Talent or any outside recruiter to handle my search?
What is a retained search vs. contingency search?
Can I use PR Talent for freelance or "temp-to-perm" assignments?
How long will the search take?
Because external recruiters have access to talent that most
internal recruiters and HR professionals don’t. At PR Talent, we spend every day
talking to both active and passive candidates at the top of their profession. We
are constantly reaching out to talented professionals and building
relationships. Those relationships enable us to tap into much deeper and broader
resources when conducting a search.

Contingency search firms only get paid if they successfully place a
candidate, whereas a retained search firm is getting paid no matter how long
they take and sometimes even if they don’t fill the job. Good recruiters do good
work, but not even retained recruiters can guarantee they can fill a position.
At PR Talent our goal is to provide excellent service and deliver results. We
believe our clients are best served when they have a new employee first and an
invoice later.

Since PR is our only focus, we not only have an excellent database of
over 4000 PR professionals, but we are actively reaching out to talented
professionals every day. Additionally, if your search is highly specialized, we
conduct targeted and original research to hone in on the best and most
appropriate candidates.

Absolutely! We have an extensive database of talented freelance
professionals ready to take on both short and long term projects. Additionally,
we are happy to handle more non-traditional arrangements such as “temp-to-perm”
assignments.

Finding the right candidate, even with a database like ours, can be a
long process. Although we cannot guarantee delivery of your dream candidate
within a week, it has been known to happen! However, the more likely scenario is
that once we have a signed agreement and all of the search specifications in
place, we can deliver candidates for your review within two to three weeks.
After that, we will work with you to refine the search process so that we are
able to deliver on-target candidates in as efficient a manner as possible.
