Pluspunten

From the moment I first interviewed at handle I knew there was something unique about them and I wanted to be a part of it! After a few years working in a heavily KPI driven corporate agency I was keen for something different and handle couldn't have been more accommodating on my quest for just that. They went over and above to support me and offer me opportunities beyond anything I'd experienced before. The benefits are good, as is reward & recognition and the annual all company events are such a treat! I honestly can't sing their praises enough; such a fantastic bunch of people who are great at what they do and the most relationship driven agency I've ever had the pleasure of working for or, more recently, with.

Minpunten

Coming from such a corporate environment I was desperate for a more relaxed way of working and initially loved that about handle. However, sometimes I felt the lack of KPIs quite hard and definitely think they shouldn't be shunned altogether as they provide clarity and focus, especially for newer and more junior consultants.

Pluspunten

The one thing that will always make people join Handle is their name in the market and the brands they have worked with. Unfortunately alot of this is historic and legacy, and if not a director of a team, your not about to get any of that business, in fact you will be fighting your TEAM members to not screw you over for business.

Minpunten

Constant internal politics with team members and never having the backing from your manager as they too love the drama. Directors being so out of touch with recruitment in this day and age. Confidentiality in the work place? Non existent your business is passed around like hot cakes. Progression? Only if it doesnt threaten anyone else. Lets not forget the bad mouthing and character defamation that exists once you leave the business. Shame really as once upon a time it really was the place to be.

I’m really sorry to read your review, particularly after you spent several years with us. Our reputation and history mean a lot, but we’re equally focused on how we work today and want to make sure everyone has a fair opportunity to build strong client and candidate relationships. The current market has been particularly challenging across the entire recruitment industry, and this has required us, like many others, to adapt our approach, our mindset, and the skillsets we prioritise. That said, I firmly believe that evolving with the market should never come at the expense of how we treat our clients, candidates, or team members. Our people and our values remain at the heart of everything we do. If you felt that shift negatively, I take that seriously. I always welcome honest, constructive feedback and would be happy to speak directly if you're open to sharing more. Please feel free to reach out to me directly and wish you all the best in your next chapter. Peter Tafler
