Recruitment firms need three things; quality clients, the right candidates, and great consultants. The key to acquiring all three of those things is engagement. And you can only do that with outstanding content that is both of interest and credible.
But why is content so important?
A 2023 study found that buyers tend to rely heavily on content when researching potential business solutions, with 46% reporting that they increased the amount of content during this period.
BrightEdge research indicated that over 50% of traffic comes from organic search. Meaning that if you aren’t optimising your content properly, you won’t be seen by buyers.
We have extensive experience writing optimised, high-level and impactful content for recruiters that can be used across several channels.
This is particularly crucial in the crowded marketplace in which hiring firms are now operating. Your audience – and search engines – know when you’re using AI, and nothing disengages readers like shallow, transparent content.
All of our work is produced by humans. We do not outsource our copywriting; instead, we employ top-quality in-house writers with a nuanced understanding of multiple industries, meaning that we can get to grips with your messaging, whatever sector you operate in.
Whether you need daily, weekly or monthly content, we can ensure that your blog showcases your expertise, and stands you out from the crowd, while adding real value to your audience.
We also produce longer-form content on a range of topics. Typically, these are based on outputs from round tables, events or research. Once produced, this content can be ‘gated’ on your website to act as a lead generation tool. We have extensive experience of interviewing clients, designing and undertaking surveys and writing-up events in order to produce compelling white papers and research reports.
Writing content for a new website (or updating existing web copy) can be arduous and time-consuming. We remove the burden and can write sharp, insightful and valuable copy for your new platform. We have worked with numerous designers and in-house teams to produce impactful content which resonates with your audience, and helps you rank more highly on search engines.
Our Awards submissions have secured countless wins and nominations for our clients. Our team can help you craft the perfect entry that separates you from the crowd, and shows the true value of your organisation and staff. We have also sat on the other side of the table, and have judged awards entries at several sector and trade events, meaning we know what it takes to build a successful submission.
“BlueSky PR has been an integral part of the 6CATS team for a number of years and their support growing our social media presence has been hugely valuable.

“BlueSky PR has been a strategic communications partner for APSCo since 2012 and has supported us in a range of comms activity, from social media management and external PR, to a variety of content production, including internal messages and external stakeholder engagement. The team is proactive, ensuring our voice is being heard in the staffing sector and supports APSCo’s government lobbying activity. They’ve helped us spread the APSCo message – including the new initiatives we are delivering on behalf of the staffing sector – and have more recently supported the launch of APSCo Outsource, a new trade body for business across Recruitment Process Outsourcing, Managed Service Providers, Statement of Work and Managed Projects. They are integral to the success of APSCo and everything we do - I would highly recommend BlueSky PR.”

“The knowledge of the BlueSky PR team is second to none. Their experience in the recruitment and outsourcing remits means they’re able to produce high quality content that resonates with our audiences and showcases our thought leadership expertise. They can turn their hand to any copywriting we need, whether that’s whitepaper research reports or press comments. The team integrates themselves into our business and I’m confident in their ability to get our message across in the best way possible, without needing significant input from us. I would highly recommend them.”
“We’ve been working with the BlueSky team to support our global PR programme on a project and retained basis for over five years now. The team is very proactive, knows the talent management arena inside out and really understands our business and its objectives. And all this means that they consistently achieve fantastic media coverage for us. I’d have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone seeking PR and marcomms support.”
“The BlueSky PR team became a real partner for Sterling EMEA as soon as we engaged them for media relations support. Not only were they able to secure us fantastic coverage in leading publications, but they also produced brilliant content on our behalf. They were able to take the knowledge and information from the team and turn it into engaging copy that really raised our profile as a thought leader in background screening. Having a partner that proactively suggested new ideas and flagged news for us to comment on really helped grow Sterling’s profile. I would highly recommend them.”
