The Works Search is an executive search consultancy specialising in corporate and financial communications. We have a deep network and a passion for matching senior and mid-level communications talent across London, the UK and abroad.
We started building our network of strategic communications professionals in 1996, which means we have placed some professionals up to three times in their careers, and many sit on boards.
Whether you're a CEO looking for your next Corporate Affairs Director, a Head of Comms looking to build out your team, or a PR agency leader looking for inspiring talent, we've got you covered.
When we work with our clients on roles as an exclusive hiring partner, they have our complete focus, and we always fill 100% of these roles. We don't know of another search agency that can say that!

Perhaps you're looking for a new role yourself? You're in safe hands as we help you navigate your career. Having successfully placed over 1000 board-level communications professionals with listed and privately-owned businesses, we know a lot of exciting comms agencies too.
Over the years, we have placed high-performing corporate communications talents at Battersea Power Station, Headland Consultancy, Deloitte, Man Group, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Apax, H/Advisors Maitland, Franklin Templeton, the FCA, Klarna, YOOX Net-a-Porter, and Sainsbury’s, to name a few.
The companies we partner with are in every industry sector, and we also find high-performing talent for big and small comms agencies.
We have an expert understanding of corporate communications, a proactive approach, and we don't stop searching until we have made the perfect match for a role.
When it comes to filling roles, we never rely solely on advertising or LinkedIn approaches. We have found that our network and knowledge within the corporate communications industry are far stronger.
We also love to share our knowledge and our industry-leading annual Salary Guide, it's the 'go to' for corporate comms salaries and benefits.
