PR Hiring On the Rise?

The Wall Street Journal‘s career site, FINS.com, reports on the increased importance of PR and the hiring that’s happening across the industry, both in-house and at PR firms. “In January this year, business started picking up and all the positions that were frozen last year and in 2008 opened up again,” Lindsay Olson, partner and recruiter at Paradigm Staffing is quoted saying. Another recruiter, Maryanne Rainone, an SVP at Heyman Associates, said employee relations has become important on the corporate side.
