At Hanson Search, we know that communications can’t be put on pause. When a team member goes on leave, a crisis emerges, or a major project kicks off, you need someone who can step in and deliver without delay. Our interim communications recruitment expertise allows us to connect you with professionals who are used to hitting the ground running. Whether you’re looking for a communications lead to provide short-term cover or need someone to support your team through a busy period, we help you find experienced individuals who can get up to speed quickly and keep things moving. Our clients range from FTSE 100 companies to scale-ups and agencies, and we work across the UK, MENA, the US and Europe.
