Posted on Aug 27, 2025

At Handle, we’re proud that so much of our work is driven by recommendations, referrals, and people coming back to us time and again throughout their careers.

​​Recently, we’ve taken a closer look at hundreds of candidate and client testimonials to understand what really matters most to the people we support in the Creative Industries.

The following themes came up consistently, and we think they say a lot about who we are, and how we work.

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.
