How a PR Manager contributes to your business

Increased visibility and clearer messages

Proactive press work, effective campaigns, and the right channel choices highlight what's relevant for media, customers, and employees. This increases impact and gives the brand a clear voice where it's needed.

Strategic management of relationships and reputation

When something unexpected happens, quick but precise actions are needed. An experienced PR manager handles media situations and internal expectations in a way that builds trust and reduces the risk of brand damage.

Communication that truly resonates

Language, tone, and messages are adapted to the target audience and channel so that communication feels authentic and gets through. This strengthens your position and relationship with key stakeholders.

The recruitment process

Our recruitment process is quick, smooth, and tailored to your needs. We make sure you get the right candidate fast, thanks to a clear requirement profile and efficient selection.

1. Assignment Description & Goals

We carefully listen to your expectations, goals, and current situation. A role description or job advertisement can be used as a basis, and we'll also conduct a structured interview with the client.

2. Candidate Search within Our Network

Around 20 suitable candidates are selected and contacted. We then conduct interviews with the relevant and available consultants we find, based on the assignment description.

3. Quality Assurance

The best 3-4 candidates are presented to the client within 1-3 days. We then have a check-in with the client to plan the selection and next steps.

4. Interview with Client – Background Check

The client conducts their interviews, any internal tests, and a final senior-level interview. References are taken if needed, and a background check can be performed on the final candidate.

5. Contract

An agreement outlining the length and scope of the assignment is drafted, always with transparent pricing so both the client and consultant know how the fee is distributed. We always pay 80% of the fee to the consultant. If the client is not satisfied, the contract can be terminated with a maximum of one month's notice.

6. Assignment Commences

During the assignment, we keep in regular contact with both the client and the consultant to catch any questions or feedback needed for a successful collaboration.

7. Wrap-up – potential employment

The assignment wraps up as per the agreement, or if the goal was employment and both parties are on board, it turns into a recruitment. The recruitment fee gets lower the longer the assignment has been going on.

Qualities that make a great PR Manager

Linguistic precision and good judgment

A PR manager needs to be able to express themselves with both sharpness and intuition – quickly and accurately. The right words at the right time can make all the difference, especially in high-pressure situations.

Relationship builder with attentiveness

Builds trust, nurtures networks, and understands the organization's needs so that communication becomes relevant, credible, and well-rooted.

Strategic vision combined with decisiveness

Plans long-term and acts when the situation demands it. Seamlessly switches between planning and execution with a clear focus on measurable results.
