Looking for a good copyediting recruiter for corporate copyediting

May 25, 2020 9:17 PM

Highly experienced tech industry copyeditor seeking a recruiter who could hook me up with ongoing corporate copyediting.

I've worked 15 years @ IBM, 2 years at Huawei, and ongoing work at The Motley Fool.

I've had great success with recruiters when working in sales/marketing, but have never used one to find quality, copyediting assignments.

Do they exist? I'm American with respectable credentials but live overseas so am seeking remote work.

Thanks in advance.

As someone who hires copyeditors, I would never think of using a recruiter for this, nor would I be willing to pay their fees (though I commonly do with other roles I hire for). Corporate copyeditors mostly come through word of mouth.

Best answer: I'm in digital marketing and would usually work with an agency for this type of role versus hiring sometime as a FTE. Are you open to working with an agency that subcontracts to you versus a recruiter that matches you with open assignments?
