For Candidates

Why choose Parker Wells?

A fresh approach to your job search:

Parker Wells aim is to make your job search process as smooth and simple as possible from the moment you initially contact us to the moment you start your new position.

Parker Wells was originally established by two dedicated, experienced support consultants who have put in place a fresh and innovative approach to their candidates’ job search when they register. In a marketplace that is all too often characterised by poor service, ever changing points of consultant contact and lack of contact, our consultants are committed to providing something different.

Consistent, regular point of contact:

Parker Wells will only invite you in to register if we believe we can help you and will have a wide range of roles to speak to you about. We will provide you with constructive advice and information and we will also give you a very honest view of your career prospects.

You will be assigned a personal consultant who will keep in touch with you regularly, even if we don’t have a job to speak to you about at that time.

Our consultants are passionate about recruiting support roles and because they have recruited these types of roles for years, they have solid, long term client relationships. Our staff turnover is extremely low so it is unlikely that your point of contact will leave the business.

Long term relationships:

We want our candidates to see us a more than just a recruitment agency. We want to work together in partnership with you to provide an inspiring, long term consultant contact, who will follow your career and help you achieve everything that you are capable of achieving in your career and to provide you with the stepping stones to get there.

Whether we find you a new position or not, you will have initiated an open line of communication with us that you can confidentially access at any stage. We are proud of the fact that we have advised a significant number of support professionals throughout their career, whether they require salary advice, market information or indeed, when they are recruiting for their own team.

Tailored proactive approach:

We believe in taking a proactive approach and creating as many job opportunities as possible for the high calibre candidates that we register. Your Parker Wells consultant will not only speak to you about the roles and clients that they are currently recruiting for but will work in partnership with you to formulate a tailored plan to introduce your details to your top five ‘dream employers’, even if we don’t currently work with them.

Parker Wells recruitment process usually involves:

  • An initial meeting at our offices to discuss your current career position and to give you advice and information about the market.
  • Formulating a tailored recruitment plan which involves not only speaking to you about our current roles but contacting your goal employers in the marketplace about opportunities with them that we have perhaps not been instructed on.
  • Allowing you to complete systems skills testing in our in house facility or in the comfort of you own home.
  • Producing your CV in a professionally formatted package.
  • Presenting your profile to agreed, prospective employers who are specifically looking to recruit support professionals.
  • Arranging interviews with clients at convenient times, and providing detailed corporate information.
  • Conducting a pre interview: advising you on the interview process and giving you information on the people you will be meeting.
  • Providing you with immediate, honest feedback after all interviews.
  • Achieving the best remuneration package for you.
  • Advising you on the best course of action and, if necessary, helping you with the resignation process.

Why use a recruitment consultancy?

A reputable recruitment consultancy will:

  • Spend the time to meet with you in order to find out which clients and roles are going to fit with your personality, experience and long term career objectives.
  • Give you valuable, up-to-date market information and will tell you how to achieve your career objectives.
  • Give you advice on what you can expect to be paid.
  • Help you with your CV.
  • Speak to you and screen you thoroughly about all roles before your CV is forwarded.

  • Help you with interview technique and research.
  • Handle all time-consuming interview arrangements.

All these services will be free-of-charge.
