Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use an internal communications recruitment agency?
Comma is a specialist internal communications recruitment agency. We’re in tune with the internal communications market, regularly attending industry events, writing thought leadership articles and continually building our knowledge and expertise in the field. We’ve been recruiting in the field of IC and engagement for many years, building up an exceptional pool of the best communicators in the business, meaning we can share a comprehensive shortlist with clients in very quick time.
How many internal communication candidates will you share with me?
We typically share a shortlist of between three and six of the very best candidates for each role. We meet all of our candidates and pre-screen each for every role we recruit for, meaning every shortlist is tailored to you and your needs.
How long does the recruitment process take for internal communicators?
Once we have a brief from you, Comma will move quickly, presenting you with a shortlist in two to three days for interim roles and approximately a week for permanent roles. We then work with you throughout the interview process to make it seamless and stress free for all involved
How much do you charge for your services?
We charge a standard fee for permanent and interim services, agreed with each client. As we’re a boutique agency with limited overheads, we can offer an extremely reasonable price for the level of experience and service provided.
What pay rates would a senior internal communicator expect?
A senior internal communicator will typically be paid in the £75,000 – £120K+ range. Corporates will often pay more and change communication roles will generally pay more.
What pay rates would a mid-level internal communicator expect?
A mid-level internal communicator will typically expect to be paid in the £50,000 to £70,000 pay range.
Why should I consider an interim internal communicator?
Interim communicators are excellent when you have a short term need, maybe for 3, 6 or 12-months. Interims also save on headcount. Comma’s interim internal communicators will have a great deal of experience, bring a fresh focus and produce results for you very quickly.
What would I need to pay an interim internal communicator?
Pay levels for interim internal communicators will vary on seniority, but generally start from £350 – £450 for delivery roles and £500 – £800+ for more senior roles.
Why should I consider an FTC internal communicator?
The FTC option is generally more favourable for BAU roles, such as maternity or sabbatical covers. It doesn’t typically require an experienced contractor used to working in a programme environment on day rates. These do add to company headcount and along with the salary, clients also pay employee benefits on top.
Can I expect internal communication candidates to work from home?
There are a mix of working hours and hybrid working models out there. This sort of issue will be discussed as part of your brief so we can make the best match between company and candidates.
