The need for business to actively manage relationships with external stakeholders has increased significantly over the last decade. Companies need to ensure that their corporate affairs and communications executives are capable of keeping up with this rapid change. Management of an organisation’s public profile and reputation can be complex, because goals in this area are less easily defined than in other corporate functions.

With this understanding, and with a collective twenty years of experience behind us, we established Salt & Shein in 2004. We became Australia’s only independent recruitment consultancy specialising in finding the right corporate affairs and communications expert for each unique position.

Working with Clients
When you engage Salt and Shein you work with the same highly-experienced consultant from the beginning to the end of the recruitment process. Our directors and consultants personally handle all aspects of the recruitment process, in addition to managing our relationship with you.

• An initial in-depth briefing session establishes the exact requirements of the role to be filled
• We advise on the use of search and/or advertising, preparing and placing advertisements if required
• Every suitable candidate is identified, approached and interviewed
• A shortlist of qualified executives is presented for consideration
• Your interview process is coordinated, including independent psychometric and behavioural testing if required
