Looking for a job in communications? Always friendly, the We Are COM team is working hard to help you find employment and is sharing the names of its 8 favorite headhunters. The method for this sort of ranking: their expertise in communications (yay, HR professionals who understand our business!).
The podium
1. Elaee
Founded by Claire Romanet Based in Lyon (and Paris, yes indeed!), Elaee isn't just a job magazine covering communication, marketing, digital, and creative sectors… It's also, and above all, a recruitment agency specializing in communications. Elaee's focus? Helping you grow. Which is rather fitting, since the name "Elaee" evokes the brilliant strategist Aeneas, one of the protagonists of the Trojan War who became the mythical founder of Rome, and Zeno of Elea, the father of dialectic (this method of seeking truth by successively defending opposing arguments). Quite a pedigree!
2. Mushroom
Want to be proudly displayed on a trophy cabinet? It's possible with Mushroom, the headhunting firm specializing in communication professions. At the helm are three co-founders: Thomas Dufournaud, Régis Bruneau, and Elisa Stoppa. All three have worked for advertisers and therefore speak the same language as us. Their motto? We hunt, you pick! ».
3. water
Launched over 30 years ago at Harvard (yes, really!), Aquent is the leading recruitment agency for marketing professionals. The agency now has offices in the United States, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands (plus France, of course). Over time, its scope has expanded to include creative, digital, and even… communications roles (phew!). Their positioning? To be the talent agents for the industry. And to help you get to know us better, the firm publishes an annual study on the Marketing/Communications sector: key skills, job responsibilities, training, salaries, and more. They know it all.
