About Betsy

Hello! 

I am a recruiter with Fleishman-Hillard (www.fleishman.com), an international PR firm headquartered in Saint Louis, MO.  While I am no stranger to recruiting, I am still trying to get my feet wet in the PR industry.  By creating a PR recruiting blog, I would like to learn more about PR, post current positions, network with qualified professionals as well as to share my views on recruiting, interviewing, and attracting top talent!!

Prior to joining Fleishman-Hillard, I was a recruiting consultant with Hewitt Associates and worked primarily on the Bank of America, BP, and Thomson Corporation account teams.  Throughout the years, I’ve learned some really interesting sourcing and database mining tricks that I would love to share in my future posts! 

I would like to create a two-way dialogue, so please feel free to post any comments, suggestions, or feedback in response to my posts!!  In addition to posting my recruiting and public relations opinions, I will also be providing information about positions that I am recruiting for with Fleishman-Hillard.  If you are a qualified PR professional and you are interested in learning more about current opportunities, please feel free to contact me via email at betsy.beard@fleishman.com.  I also appreciate referrals and invitations to connect through Linkedin. 

Thanks!!

Betsy
