As Letterhead, we’ve spent the past half-decade helping brands to find their voices.

Now, we’ve added Tactic to the lineup: a recruitment division focused on finding the content specialists for organisations where clear, compelling communication is key.

There’s a need for personalised, human-powered recruitment that understands the nuances of creative work: how style, tone, and taste can make or break a brand. That’s our advantage. Because Letterhead is actively at work across creative fields, the team at Tactic is in close contact with the people whose skills and abilities are shaping how we share, create, market, and communicate.

Tactic is a natural next step: after years of being involved at every stage of the creative process for our freelance clients, we’re helping organisations to recruit team members whose creative skills will set them apart.

Wondering where to start? That's what we're here for. You don't need a perfectly polished job ad to get in touch – "Help me!" messages are welcome, and if you can tell us a bit about what you need, we can assist you in the next steps to finding your ideal hire.

Do you only recruit writers?

Tactic recruits creative professionals across industries. Writing is where we started, and our existing talent pool is comprised mainly of copywriters, but we’re great at seeking out top creative talent to complete your team.

Can I still hire writers for freelance work?

Yes – Letterhead is still The One-Stop Words Shop, and we can provide freelance help remotely or in-office. If you want to take your time finding a permanent employee but need to expand capacity right away, we can provide a hybrid solution: freelance help to fill the gap with high-quality, professionally edited copy, while we start the search for the ideal hire to bring creative skills to your in-house team.

How do you work?

Before we get started, we’ll send you our terms of business: a one-pager explaining costs, timelines, and what we handle for you. We don’t get started until you’ve accepted those terms, and you don’t pay a cent until you’ve hired a candidate. We charge an industry standard placement fee of 15% of your chosen candidate’s annual cost to company.

Tactic is a division of Letterhead (Pty) Ltd. Get in touch at hello@letterhead.is
