The Team

The team at PCL are experts in recruitment within communications, we are consultative and offer unbiased advice to both candidates and clients. The team brings sympathetic assessment and a work ethic that focuses primarily on candidate well-being and client satisfaction. The team is led by Caroline Ivory, Director

WORKING AT PCL

PCL is a flat-structured, team business. Consequently we look for people with a friendly, collaborative approach. Not that vacancies arise often as our low staff turnover is both a source of pride and a platform for commercial success.

We do not operate individual bonus systems, believing them to be divisive and undermining of the neutral advice that we offer, to both clients and candidates. But of course this is a business and the need to deliver a first class service and to make profit, lie at the heart of our success.

We would welcome hearing from ambitious recruitment or communications professionals who are interested in joining our team.

Testimonials

PCL was instrumental in getting Portland up and running. We had a run of early client wins and had to pedal very fast to get a quality team in place to help service the business. PCL were efficient, knowledgeable, sharp and fun to deal with. They understand our need to build a high-end agency with the very best talent and continue to be an important factor in our growth.
