PALS Recruitment is a specialist music and entertainment recruitment agency. We specialise in the people who run an artist's business and day-to-day private life, placing trusted managers, assistants and executive support for recording and touring artists and music management companies.
We recruit experienced people who keep an artist's career and personal life running smoothly, from the manager steering the business to the assistant on the road.
The people who run the business of an artist's career, from strategy and deals to the detail of daily delivery.
Personal assistants who support artists at home and on the road, keeping life organised through demanding schedules.
Trusted right hands to founders and senior leaders across music management and entertainment businesses.
Experienced leaders for artist management companies, production businesses and creative teams.
We partner with the businesses and individuals at the centre of the music industry.
The music industry runs on trust, timing and relationships. The right hire has to understand the pace of an artist's world, hold their nerve under pressure and protect the people they work for. We recruit for exactly that.
Our founders have worked at the top of international talent management within the music industry. Shareena spent years as a touring PA to One Direction and the Spice Girls, and Jono worked on the management side, running the business behind major international artists. We know what these roles demand because we have done them.
That is why we do not send long lists of loosely matched CVs. We introduce a small number of people who genuinely fit the brief, the team and the way you work, people we would trust in the roles ourselves.
Every search we run is handled quietly and in the strictest confidence. We do not advertise who we are working with, and we do not disclose that an artist or business is hiring without a clear reason and the right permission.
Where it is needed, we work under a signed confidentiality agreement, and our team is bound by strict internal confidentiality obligations. Discretion is not an add-on to what we do; it is the foundation of it.
Whether you are building a team around an artist or a business, or you are a professional ready for your next move in music, we would be glad to talk.
