Executive Search Washington D.C. for Government Relations and Public Affairs
Washington hiring turns on judgement and on credibility with the people who shape policy. Our executive search Washington D.C. team appoints senior leaders across government relations, public affairs, policy and corporate communications. Clients include trade associations, advocacy organisations, federal contractors, agencies and corporates running a D.C. presence.
Priorities shift with every administration, so hiring windows in D.C. close quickly. For that reason we map the market continuously rather than starting each brief cold. As a result, we can name the Hill and agency alumni who would genuinely consider a move.
We also advise on the details that catch out employers hiring into D.C. from elsewhere. Compensation benchmarking, post-government employment restrictions and the gap between an in-house federal affairs seat and an agency role all change a shortlist.
