Temporary Recruitment 

Temporary Recruitment is often driven by urgency, but speed should never come at the expense of quality or care. We support organisations with short-notice cover, maternity leave, project peaks and unexpected gaps, providing access to reliable professionals who can step in quickly and contribute from day one.

Every candidate’s availability is confirmed prior to submission, with rates and budgets clearly aligned upfront. From smooth extensions and re-bookings to proactive talent pipelining, we focus on continuity, supporting both your immediate requirements and longer-term workforce planning.

Interim Recruitment

When you need experienced leadership or specialist expertise to deliver a critical project or address an immediate skills gap, we connect you with professionals who can step in and add value from day one.

From clearly defined assignments to broader transformation mandates, our interim searches are shaped around your objectives and commercial priorities. We introduce proven interim leaders with the skills, sector knowledge and emotional intelligence to quickly understand your culture, align with your teams and deliver meaningful, measurable results.

Fixed-Term Recruitment

Our contract recruitment consultants provide organisations with experienced professionals for defined periods, bringing specialist expertise, continuity, and delivery.

About Handle Recruitment

We opened the doors in 1978 and built our reputation in the music industry. We quickly realised that a great brand is not always a household name. A great brand is something people connect with, not just a place they work. Somewhere that helps them become better at what they do. It could be a record label, it could be in media, it could be a tech start-up.
