Recruiter Q&A
For some recruitment businesses, the decision to undertake PR can be a hard one. Recruitment is hugely results driven and ROI is easily measurable. PR is different, and it can take some time to see results. With this in mind, we thought we’d feature a Q&A in each newsletter with a recruiter who uses PR, and why they do so.

Why do we use PR?

PR works. End of.
PR works. Here’s an example: We secured an article in The Times featuring Antal International, a recruitment client of ours. The story
was on corporate giving and discussed their work with Chance UK, a children’s charity. Our client was naturally very happy.
