Katie Heron
Steve, Education Lead
Katie was a genuinely pleasant person to deal with. She was friendly, well-prepared, timely, had great communication skills and made herself aware of what I was looking for and needed, alongside what the recruiting organisation were looking for. This sounds a little cliché, but she made me feel like I was an actual person at the other end of the communication rather than just one of a number of positions that she was trying to recruit for. A genuinely positive experience

David, Senior Advisor
Katie Heron was professional, pro-active and personable. From initial contact through to really helpful interview advice, I felt valued and in very safe hands. I have recommended her already to others I know who are seeking employment opportunities.

Olivia Moreton
Serene, Assistant Accountant
Olivia responded to my phone calls and emails promptly with updates on my application. The most important thing is that she matched me perfectly to a job and employer with my skills and experiences.
She also prepared my CV in a way that looks really great, which I believe has captured attention of my new employer

Jack Rogers
Cilva, Senior Management Accountant
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, checking in to touch base, advising of new opportunities and ensuring you have not been forgotten.
Jack will help you prepare for an interview, providing competency based interview videos to assist you with your preparation and will follow up after your interview providing you with excellent feedback.
Jack has time for you, no matter how trivial you might think your question is, he will listen and advise. You are important to him and this comes through in his dealings with you. From the start of the process, through to reference checks and contact signing, he will be there to ensure a smooth process.
I cannot stress how important Jack made me feel and how thankful I am to have made contact with him as a recruiter -

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.

Parker Bridge
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.

I am really happy to receive such high-quality service from Michael

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.

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!

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 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

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!!

Anonymous, Case Administrator
Kiera has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Her positive attitude, high level of communication, empathy, and diligence serve her well as a Recruitment Coordinator. In my experience, the level of engagement she seeks to establish with candidates is rare, and sets her apart from many others in her profession. This makes the work she does behind the scenes quite apparent and has the passive effect of building rapport, confidence, and trust between parties. Kiera really made it clear that she was working in my best interests to secure a quality employment opportunity by providing insights and updates regularly to reinforce a clear understanding between us. Despite limitations on me being contacted at the time she continued to move forward; demonstrating initiative and a solid drive to achieve a positive result. Her optimism and genuine commitment to her role are both admirable and refreshing. If I require the expertise of an agent in the future I will be contacting her directly.
