Pricejamieson Launches AsiaPac Service

Recruitment consultancy Pricejamieson, whose specialist teams cover marketing and digital communications in addition to MR, is expanding its research services to Asia Pacific. Senior Consultant Rowan Haylett moves from the London office to parent company Aquent in Australia.

Haylett specialises in the recruitment of field, data processing, technical and operations positions as well as posts within the online sector. Prior to joining Pricejamieson in 2004 (www.mrweb.com/drno/news3574.htm ), she worked for both TNS and NOP. In her new role, Haylett will spearhead the firm's MR service in Australia from Acquent's bases in Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne.

Aquent is also offering a dedicated agency and client-side, permanent and contract recruitment service for the research industry in Greater China from its centres in Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong.

Pricejamieson MD Andrew Swift comments: 'Our clients are already operating globally and increasingly keen to recruit executives with international experience. We are keen to work with the clients wherever they are based.'

Established in 1982, Pricejamieson employs 25 consultants who operate across new media, broadcast, print, marketing, market research, design and branding. In April, the company became part of Aquent, a global firm specialising in staffing for the marketing, communications and creative industries.

'These new services in Asia Pacific are an important step forwards for us' Swift concludes, 'but we will be announcing additional countries throughout next year.'
