Senior Content Creator

  • Part-time

Company Description

Come Recommended is a content marketing and digital PR consultancy for organizations with products that target job seekers and/or employers. We specialize in driving leads to–and increasing conversions for–our clients using proven strategic tactics, such as content development, social media marketing, media relations, search engine optimization, and web design and development.

 

Simply put, we help your company get found, get clients, and get the recognition you deserve. After all, how will the job seeker, hiring manager, recruiter, or HR pro know about your products if you aren’t marketed properly?

 

Come Recommended was founded in 2008 by Heather R. Huhman, a widely-recognized thought leader and expert in the careers space with a decade of experience as a hiring manager and public relations specialist. Having sat on both sides of the hiring table, our team provides a niche service that is unmatched by other creative agencies.
