Testimonials

Craig Hegan

Scott Taylor, Chief Executive Officer

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 from Parker Bridge to invest time in understanding our business. Mutual trust has been developed due to the successes we have had, and Parker Bridge's recruitment methodologies and headhunting have ensured that I have never had to interview countless candidates when recruiting. Recruitment is key to our success and to find the right strategic partner provides me with the confidence that candidates being presented are fit for purpose. We value our partnership with Parker Bridge and I would have no hesitation in utilising their services on-going.

Brooke, Customer Service Assistant

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.

Craig Hegan

Michele, Accounts Receivable

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 Reilly

Ashleigh, Recruitment Advisor

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.

Parker Bridge

Stephen, Manager Risk & Controls

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.

Louise Reilly

Claire, Customer Service Manager

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 and when I called through to Parker Bridge reception, I was always treated fantastically. Louise was excellent throughout the whole process but for me, it was the small things that made a big difference, such as checking in on the staff and making sure communication was always maintained. Louise has a great ability to not only get us the staff we need but to also build a great relationship with us. 

 

Parker Bridge

Denise, Payroll Administrator

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 Reilly

Nicky, Personal Assistant & Sales Support Administrator

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

Holly, Project Administrator

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 Reilly

Suzi, Advisor

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.

Parker Bridge

Elise, Product Owner/Business Analyst

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. Their debriefing skills after the interviews were also very skilled and insightful. Any quirky questions I had were discussed and if they didn't have the answer, I had one within 24 hours. I have not hesitated to recommend Parker Bridge and when I talk about how I found my new role, Parker Bridge have featured strongly as an incredibly positive experience. Thank you!

Louise Reilly

Clare, Executive Secretary

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

Cody, Payroll Administrator

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.

Samantha Read

Dave, Senior Manager

Samantha is a fun, clear and articulate person. She listened and understood my goal aspirations and asked great questions. I felt very comfortable engaging Samantha. She also outlined another role that she thought I would be interested in addition to the role I applied for. If you’re thinking of working with her, you should absolutely do it.

Jack Carter

Vish, Business Analyst

Jack is one of the best recruiters. He is fast and clear at communication and was very prompt.

Alisa Wilson & Shauna McTigue

Robin, Credit Controller

Working with Shauna & Alisa was very good. They were prompt at communicating at every stage & kept me informed with any update. Even though Shauna was going on leave, she ensured that I was taken care off by Alisa and that was pretty awesome. If you’re thinking of working with them, definitely go for it.

Jack Rogers

Stephen, Accounting Contractor

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

Jack Rogers

Anonymous

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.

Kiera Richardson

Dharun, Customer Service Consultant

I applied through Seek and was not expecting much as I already went through some recruitment agencies. The day after applying, I received a phone call from Kiera and got an interview scheduled. I came in for a face-to-face interview with Kiera and the way she and her colleagues spoke made me comfortable and my nervousness disappear. Shortly after, I was select for an interview with her client. Kiera prepared me for success in my interviews and I got the job! After that, Kiera gave me constant updates about the process, and even after getting into the company, she continued to check whether everything was doing well with my new job. SHE IS THE BEST!!

 

Kiera Richardson

Callum, Accounts Payable Officer

Kiera was very friendly and approachable. She also communicated brilliantly making the whole process from initial meet up to client interview very straightforward and prompt. Kiera (and Jack) were able to help me secure a role that fits my skill set perfectly.
