Some comments from our clients...

We have recruited through The Music Market / Arts and Media since they opened as The Music Market in 1999. They have always proved to be first class in terms of service and the standard of candidate they send us. They have an in-depth knowledge of what we look for in our candidates as well as the industry we work in.

They are our first port of call for both temporary and permanent staff and over the years we have built up a great relationship with the consultants there. They just ‘get it’. As their first client in 1999 we are delighted to still be working with them 19 years later!
