This unique programme will be a collaboration of media and entertainment industry HR professionals, offering each other developmental guidance and opportunities through mentoring.
Handle will manage, facilitate and administer the scheme, doing what we do best will match-make the mentors with mentees. We have had a phenomenal response and are launching with a group of mentors from a number of our key clients.
“I think this is a ground-breaking way of sharing HR expertise across the industry and if there is one player in the market to make it work that would be Handle.”
Timo Gorner, European HR Manager, 20th Century Fox
“I’m very excited about the HR Mentoring Scheme. I think it really shows how Handle Recruitment are leading the way in identifying different ways in which working in partnership with their clients and adding even more value to the service they provide. If this works well I will be wanting to see how they can expand the scheme to cover non HR roles within the industry.”
