Communications recruitment demands more than identifying good writers. It requires assessing strategic thinking, change communication capability, stakeholder navigation skills and the emotional intelligence that separates adequate communicators from exceptional ones.
Hope & Glory recruits across all communications specialisations. Internal communications roles include Internal Communications Advisors, Employee Engagement Specialists, Change Communications Managers and Internal Communications Directors who keep employees informed, engaged and aligned with organisational strategy.
External and corporate communications roles include Corporate Affairs Advisors, Stakeholder Engagement Managers, Public Affairs Specialists, Government Relations Advisors and Communications Directors. These professionals manage external reputation, stakeholder relationships, policy advocacy and corporate positioning.
Strategic communications leadership roles include Head of Communications, Communications Directors, Chief Communications Officers and General Managers Corporate Affairs. These positions involve enterprise communications strategy, executive advisory, crisis management, reputation oversight and often integration of multiple communications functions including media relations, internal comms and stakeholder engagement.
Communications typically focuses on reputation, relationships, stakeholder engagement and information flow. Marketing focuses on customer acquisition, brand positioning and commercial outcomes. Many organisations have both functions working together strategically.
Strong internal communicators combine excellent writing with strategic thinking, understand change management, empathise with employee perspectives, translate complex information clearly and measure communication effectiveness beyond activity metrics.
Not always. While communications degrees help, many excellent communicators come from journalism, English, public relations or related backgrounds. Demonstrated writing ability, strategic thinking and stakeholder management experience often matter more than specific qualifications.
We review writing samples, ask candidates to complete short writing exercises, evaluate their ability to simplify complexity and assess how they adapt tone and style for different audiences and purposes.
Common progressions include Communications Coordinator > Communications Advisor > Communications Manager > Head of Communications > Communications Director/CCO. Many communicators also specialise in areas like internal comms, corporate affairs or change communications.
Communications Advisors typically earn $75-100K, Communications Managers $105-145K, Heads of Communications $150-200K, and Chief Communications Officers $200-300K+. Government, corporate and not-for-profit sectors have different benchmarks.
