Hiring guide
What to check when hiring pr specialists
Public relations specialists build and protect brand reputation through media coverage, stakeholder communication, and strategic messaging. Offshore PR specialists are well-suited to supporting Australian businesses with media monitoring, press release drafting, journalist outreach coordination, and content creation, while your local team manages the relationships that require in-person presence.
Review writing samples
press releases, media pitches, and executive bios reveal whether they can write to publication standard.
Assess their understanding of the Australian media landscape
key publications, journalists, and the difference between trade, business, and consumer media.
Confirm experience with media monitoring tools
Meltwater, Isentia, Mention, or Cision.
Test their crisis communication awareness
even if the role is primarily proactive PR, understanding how to manage a negative story is essential.
Must-have skills
Red flags to watch for
No published clips or coverage examples, a PR specialist who hasn't achieved media placements hasn't proven the core function
Writing quality below publication standard, press releases that read like marketing copy rather than news don't get placed
No understanding of what journalists need, treating media pitches like advertisements is a common and fatal PR mistake
Limited knowledge of Australian media, global PR experience without local media understanding requires significant bridging
No crisis communication awareness, only understanding proactive PR leaves the business exposed
Inability to work across multiple clients or campaigns simultaneously, PR work is inherently parallel
Experience insight
PR specialists with experience pitching to Australian business media (AFR, The Australian, industry verticals) are immediately more useful than those who need to learn the local landscape from scratch. Writing quality is the single best predictor of performance in this role, allocate significant assessment time to writing samples before the interview.
Interview questions
"Write me a two-sentence media pitch for a [relevant story type]. What makes it newsworthy?"
Tests pitch writing quality and news value judgment in real time, the ability to identify and frame newsworthy angles is the core PR skill.
"A journalist has reached out asking for comment on a negative story about our business. Walk me through how you'd handle it."
Crisis response is a defining PR moment, their process for holding statements, escalation, and media relations reveals real-world preparedness.
"How do you build media relationships as an offshore PR team member when you can't meet journalists in person?"
Remote PR relationship management requires deliberate strategy, their answer reveals whether they've thought through the offshore constraint.
"How do you measure the success of a PR campaign beyond media mentions?"
Modern PR measurement goes beyond AVE, reputation metrics, sentiment, and business outcomes reveal strategic sophistication.

Have a chat with Teamified. You will get a sense that it's much more of a relationship situation where they're really wanting to understand your business, as opposed to a more transactional experience, which is what we found talking with some other providers. The good thing is, there's a team behind you if you pick the right partner to help.
