Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Handle Recruitment Response

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
