'We'll complement OPM and Datascope' says media jobs specialist

Media specialist Handle Recruitment is expanding into the games space, and is actively seeking new clients.

Handle had previously focused on the film and music industries, but also boasts clients such as SCE and Rockstar – with plans to make further gains into the ‘booming’ video game space.

“We’re conscious that if we want to grow we need to move into new, high growth areas – and the games sector is certainly that,” said director Peter Tafler.

“We already work with several leading companies and now, as part of a campaign to grow our client base, we are ramping up our expertise and internal capability in order to service the majors in the industry.”

Handle will go up against the likes of OPM and Datascope, but feels it can complement its rivals.

“Our strengths lie in the more commercial and business-focussed areas,” continued Tafler. “With this in mind, we’d expect to complement what OPM and Datascope are doing.”
