I just joined the Public Relations Institute of Australia (PRIA) and found some great links for recruitment agencies for people interested in public relations, marketing, that kinda deal. Hopefully I won't get in trouble for posting the list here 'cause this was in the members-only section :P

I would not consider Talent2 or Hudson to be specialists in recruiting for those fields even if they say they are. Aquent definitely specialises in those areas, and I think TPA does also. Seldon Gill is a smaller more boutique kind of firm so you might get a little more attention from them. I'm not familiar with the others.

I have had good response from Aquent in the past and one interview.

Whatever description posted for each agency/firm was pulled directly from the PRIA website, but I do agree that some of them are not specialists. Anyhoo, I thought the links would be a helpful starting point, even if it's not a definitive list. IMHO, I'd probably go with Aquent and TPA -- those two seem to be the best of the general bunch.
