Content Marketer
Hybrid - 3 days in our Clerkenwell office
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.
Fast forward to today and this role will support two established and successful brands, and another that has just been launched.
- From household names to the brands of tomorrow. Handle Recruitment helps great brands improve their talent processes and hire exceptional people.
- Handle Freelance Solutions is the one destination for freelance payroll & compliance for the production,entertainment, and creative industries.
- Talent Halo is our recently launched people consultancy that supports ambitious start-ups to realise their potential through talent.
We take huge pride in the very high standard of our service, and we look for talented people who will demonstrate that same commitment and passion for quality. We are a meritocracy, so any opportunities for development will be entirely based on your own performance in the role.
We welcome all applicants to Handle and will treat everyone equally, regardless of gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion, belief, age, marital status, background, or family responsibilities. Please let us know if you require any adjustments for you to ease this application and interview process.
