Employers

Jack Rogers is a friendly, down to earth, reliable, and helpful recruiter.
During my recent experience with Parker Bridge I had the good fortune to have Jack as the recruiter I dealt with when looking for a new role.
He was incredibly helpful from our first phone conversation, making me feel I was important and marketable. Jack will market you at a level which reflects your ability. He will ensure you are appropriately advised of expectations and will not put you forward for roles which are not in your area of expertise.
Jack will communicate with you,...

I have worked with Parker Bridge for the last four years to recruit Contact Centre, Internal Area Managers, and administration roles. More recently, over the past 12 months, I have worked with Craig Hegan and the Parker Bridge team to recruit an entirely new Executive team as part of a major transformation project. This included a new Head of IT, Head of Finance, Head of Health & Safety, and Head of Operations. All have brought additional capabilities into our organisation resulting in a profitable business turnaround, higher staff engagement, and a strong performance-driven culture. Underpinning this success has been a willingness...

Louise was very approachable, friendly and professional. She was also prompt in answering the questions I had.

We had multiple opportunities in our finance team when we approached Parker Bridge. It was very good to work with them, they got things done very efficiently and made life easy for us. 

Parker Bridge was great! They were very friendly and helpful! Even though I didn’t get the role at first, they went about it very professionally and politely, and kept me in the loop about other potential openings. They just really made me feel like they cared! I know it’s their job, but they are really good at what they do and to make your customers feel that you care is a great thing. I would highly recommend Parker Bridge to friends and family. Absolutely fantastic.

I have signed up with numerous recruitment agencies but have found Craig Hegan to be the very best recruiter so far. Craig has been very helpful, honest and has followed all the way through. I wish other recruiters could take his lead on how a candidate should be looked after.

Louise really knows our business and the teams she supports for us. I can always rely on Louise to maintain a high level of quality when submitting candidates for consideration or for urgent Temp support. Louise always acts with a sense of urgency when we need support quickly and she always delivers under tight timeframes.

I was approached by Parker Bridge regarding an opportunity with a well-known bank. I really enjoyed how down to earth and personable they were. For instance, I had to rush to Wellington for a family bereavement. Parker Bridge's Consultants ensured everything in terms of paperwork was sorted with my new employer and offered to assist me when and where needed which was much appreciated. I would definitely recommend working with them.

We needed some temporary staff due to a high volume of work but also needed a permanent staff member. Unfortunately, applications we were receiving were not meeting the criteria we needed so we turn to Louise and Parker Bridge. It was very refreshing to work with Louise, I could not commend her professionalism enough. From the first meeting, she was hands-on, listened to exactly what we were looking for and explained in full what she could offer. Even after candidates were appointed, Louise kept in regular contact and made the whole process very easy for us. Louise is extremely reliable...

I approached Parker Bridge when I was made redundant and required part-time work. Parker Bridge's Consultants were professional, approachable and dedicated to helping me. They have been in contact on a regular basis, prior to being accepted for a position and afterwards to see how everything was going.

Louise was genuine and easy to communicate with as well as professional. Prior to the interview, Louise had made an effort to contact other staff at the company to reassure me it was a place where people were happy. I particularly appreciated the contact, wishing me well on the day and the follow-up. Contacting me after a few weeks to see how I was getting on. Also, keeping me informed throughout, I never felt uninformed at any time. 

Parker Bridge was amazing to work with. I had just graduated from University and needed assistance in finding a role that suited me and Parker Bridge's Consultants went above and beyond. They gave me examples to use for my CV, sent me articles about the company so I could research them for my interviews, and gave me a glowing reference to the HR team at the company I got the job with. Parker Bridge beat my expectations by a mile.

Louise is exceptionally helpful, friendly, and personable and genuinely takes the time to discuss your career experience and aspirations. She has a real skill in matching skills knowledge and experience required for a job with the right candidate. Louise is also an excellent communicator and kept me in the loop regarding my new role. Louise made contact with a former colleague of mine who now runs a team in a central government agency. By making that connection, she was able to put me in a role which immediately suited my existing experience and skillset.

I had never dealt with a Recruitment Company before where the focus was completely on me, and my professional and personal well-being, rather than on a successful result in filling the vacancy. It was so refreshing and I was actually overwhelmed with gratitude several times by the sheer level of care and insight shown. From the very first call, it was all about me - what I was looking for, what I needed, how I would fit or not fit the role. Before each interview, Parker Bridge called me, discussed the expectations of the meeting and provided the most amazing insights....

I found Louise very approachable and easy to deal with. She made phone calls to ensure I had all the details I needed. Louise is easy to deal with, switched on and, if you’re looking for a new role, really worth a visit.

Parker Bridge is amazing, you can be yourself around them and they know how to highlight your positives making you feel more at ease in an interview. Parker Bridge has totally changed my view on recruiters for the better. They sold me to the client so well I had the job almost from the moment I walked in for an interview. They have made regular contact and sent lots of positive encouragement. If you’re thinking of working with them - do it, they are amazing.

Jack was positive, friendly, and described the state of the current accounting contract job market very well. 

Jack saw me on the same day I responded to a Parker Bridge advertisement on Seek. He placed me in a much more convenient and relevant position than the original position I applied for. He extended my contract with them during the lockdown and has since placed me in another role recently. Jack has a great relationship with employers and this comes through in my initial introduction with each team. I feel confident in working with him.

Jack was excellent in keeping me updated with all stages of the job I was seeking; from organising the interview to signing the contract. He was easy to deal with and his communication between both parties was outstanding. Jack was very friendly, pleasant and makes you feel comfortable.
