Who we are, and what we do.

The world of communications and public affairs is built on relationships. In an era where reputation is everything, why do so many hiring decisions rely on transactional, short-term thinking? Why is the search for the right talent reduced to a numbers game, rather than a careful craft? Why are organisations settling for 'good enough' when they should be demanding extraordinary? 

We believe there’s a better way. 

Vox Partners was founded on the conviction that recruitment should be as strategic, insightful, and impactful as the roles we help to fill. That expertise isn’t just about knowing who is looking for a job, but also about understanding the nuances of the industry, the pressures organisations face, and what truly motivates great talent. 

We are not a database. We are not middlemen. We are partners. We are part of the public affairs and communications community.  

Alec and James, Founding Partners of Vox Partners.

We commit to: 

Deep Sector Knowledge – With decades of experience in communications and public affairs recruitment, we know this world inside out. We understand the shifting policy landscape, the evolving demands on corporate reputation, and what it takes to thrive in these fields. We also network the same rooms you do.  

A Founder-Led Approach – As an independent business, we are personally invested in every search we take on. We don’t believe in handing off to junior teams or chasing quick wins. We are intent on building relationships that last, because we know that getting hiring right isn’t just important – it is business critical.  

Agility - If you want it, and we want it, let's make it happen.  

A Commitment to Real Impact – We measure success by more than just placements. The right public affairs or communications hire can shape a company’s future, shift a policy agenda, or elevate a brand’s voice. We take that responsibility seriously, ensuring that every introduction we make is one that shifts the dial. It's why, as part of our search fee, we introduce an onboarding coach to help your new hire settle in, and make an immediate impact.  

A Smarter, More Bespoke Process – Recruitment shouldn’t be about ticking boxes. It should be about finding the right fit - where skills, values, and ambitions align. Not just avoiding weakness, but actively pursuing strengths. We take the time to understand not just the job description, but the story behind it. And we work just as hard to ensure our candidates land in roles where they can truly thrive. 

Finally, we commit to being us. We know that people buy from people - people they know, and people they trust. It's why when you hire Vox Partners, you'll always be working with both of us, the Founding Partners. And you're not just getting "...from Vox Partners", you're getting "James" and “Alec”. 

At Vox Partners, we don’t just fill roles - we help organisations find the voices that will define their future. 

Because in communications and public affairs, people aren’t just employees. They are the message. They are the strategy. They are the difference between noise and real influence. 

Together we can find the people who will help you to tell your story and convey your message. 

Vox Partners. Find your voice.
