We were looking to hire a newly created role, a senior digital sales specialist. In working with Parity for the first time, I found it refreshing and easy and, in fact, an enjoyable experience. Vanessa and the team were genuine, supportive and we had open and regular check-ins. They found some amazing candidates and ultimately, we selected a great candidate.

After a team restructure, I needed to fill a newly created Communications Lead role requiring strong regulatory knowledge, a calm and collaborative leadership style, and the ability to operate autonomously in a fast-paced environment. Vanessa Lalani truly understood the brief and delivered a high-performing hire who is a perfect fit for our team. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Our business was growing rapidly, and the Marketing function was being undertaken by a range of people for whom it was not a core responsibility or area of expertise. We recognised that creating a dedicated Head of Marketing role would enable us to elevate and focus our market facing presence and increase lead generation. We chose Parity Consulting because of their deep expertise in this area and proven ability to source the best talent. We worked with Ai Iwami and the Parity team over a six-month period as we wanted to find the ideal candidate given this was a new role and a significant long-term investment for the firm. Throughout the process, the team demonstrated a strong understanding of our requirements and were very patient during the search process. At no time were we put unde...

Finding high quality Investment Management Product people with the right level of experience is hard. The nature of the work and relatively low turnover means there are limited available candidates at any time, and trying to find them outside of existing networks is extremely time consuming.Over many years Victoria Butt and Agnes Villanyi have built up strong connections with all the Product teams in Australia. It is this network that makes Parity the clear industry leader, and allows them to always find suitable candidates no matter how senior or junior the role or whether it is permanent/contract. In addition, Parity regularly hosts thoughtful industry networks and educational events that bring the Product community together. Working with Parity is highly effective. Their understandi...

I find myself in a very fortunate position where I am building a team from scratch. This isn't just any team, but one that includes unique and talented individuals with experience, drive, and courage. Without too many pre-conceived ideas, I want to keep things flexible to adapt to the best candidates. I hired Parity Consulting because I needed the best in the game to find me the right candidates, and Vanessa Lalani and the team came through brilliantly. Her team provided alternative views on how we could structure or work things around these candidates, which was incredibly valuable.I've learned that you get the best out of people if you set them up for success, and I know Parity operates with the same belief. Working with Vanessa and Ai Iwami has been a wonderful and confidence-buildi...
