We are SESAME. We’re a PR recruitment & head-hunting consultancy that helps to build brighter careers and cultures.

We are female owned and female run with a focus on permanent and freelance opportunities across the PR agency world. What makes us different is that we’ve all worked for years at globally renowned, award-winning PR agencies and earned our stripes and done the do.

As a result we rely on our hard-earned knowledge to inform our searches while utilising strong relationships that go back years.

And by knowing the industry moment to moment from the inside out, we are – and will remain – completely connected to the needs of both client and candidate.

But it’s not what we think that matters. Let’s hear it from the people that do:

Testimonials

“SESAME stands out from other recruitment agencies in the PR industry and I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Emily listens in a way I have never experienced with other recruiters and understands the unique strengths of a candidate. This, combined with her network in the agency world means that she only suggests roles that are a perfect fit. She provides in-depth support during (and after) the recruitment process and is a friendly and knowledgeable ally throughout your job search.”

JR, candidate

“SESAME is by far our most trusted recruitment partner. They understand every brief we give (no matter how much info given) and are consistently accurate and efficient. They truly understand our business and the type of person that we like to hire. We would be lost without them! Could not recommend highly enough.”

Ogilvy, Talent Acquisition Team

“SESAME is absolutely the partner you need when looking for your next career opportunity. Marrying a breadth of industry experience at world-renowned agencies with a friendly, personalised service that ensures that you have the level of support you are looking for in your search, Emily and her team go above and beyond every step of the way.”

AA, candidate

“Emily is the most quietly connected person I have met in this space. Because she’s an ex Board Director at Omnicom, her solutions are innovative and her access to talent extensive.”

Ali Moran, Founder of Reynolds MacKenzie & Entrepreneur

“Thank you for all your brilliant work. Here’s to many more successful introductions.”

Management, WPP

“Thanks to SESAME, I’ve got a role I’m really excited about. But more than this, I feel I’ve got an ongoing support network in the team which is invaluable.”

NE, candidate

“Working with SESAME has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They listened carefully to what I was looking for and suggested roles that were near perfect for me. The briefs I received were thorough and they were incredibly attentive throughout the process, culminating in my joining an agency that I had admired from the start of my career. Thank you!”

CP, candidate

“Just to drop you a note to say thank you - you are one of the first headhunters to actually listen to me and understand my background and experience- even though it’s a bit unusual. It is very much appreciated!”

MT, candidate

“SESAME is the CLEAR standout recruiters of choice here – so thank you so much.”

Talent team, IPG

“SESAME is redefining how talent acquisition should be done and sets the gold standard in what can be an average marketplace. The team is exceptionally knowledgeable, proactive and a definite partner to us. They have taken time to get to understand our business, culture and vision and we always enjoy meeting the candidates they short-list for us.”

Managing Director, leading independent agency

Together always work better
Honesty is everything
Kindness & manners cost nothing
Break the rules for better
Fun catches on
