Testimonials

​Amanda and Parity have always been an instrumental partner for me when setting up and building new product teams.  I love that they focus on product people and that makes them the best at finding the right people technically and culturally.

​Edwina Stuckey at Parity Consulting handled the recruitment of my new role at AIA Australia. She was very professional, thought outside of the box, balanced well the needs of both parties, and kept me informed of progress all the way through the process. I’m delighted with the opportunity and very grateful to Parity for making it happen!

​I could not recommend parity consulting enough and their team of professional and experienced team. I had to get a job filled in a short period of time and I'm hard to be won over.. a difficult situation. Amanda Glacken was my consultant for the role and she did all the hard work for me and found me the perfect candidate. She did all the vetting and chasing and I just showed up to a couple of interviews. I’m so grateful to have had such an easy experience with this being such an important decision and often something you don’t have the time to dedicate you attention too. Thank you Amanda for filling the brief in record time and being such a delight to work with. Your services are impeccable!

​Recently, I accepted a role through Parity. It was the first time in my career that I have ever used a recruitment agency. I was 100% satisfied. Edwina was very professional and when she went on holidays Ai stepped in. Both are personable, professional and very competent. I highly recommend Parity.

​As a candidate, Agnes and the Parity team were fantastic to work with. Communication was great throughout the process, the support provided was excellent and the end-to-end recruitment process was smooth and efficient. Thank you!

​Vanessa is an absolute star! She has a strong understanding of the financial services industry and employer needs and she listens to candidates wishes, which allows her to develop strong connections. I highly recommend her to any employer or candidate.

​Big thanks to Vanessa and Ai for helping me land my dream job. Your guidance, support and communication was exceptional. I would highly recommend the friendly and professional team at Parity Consulting.

​Opened my eyes to meet opportunities and kept me fully informed. Made everything painless!

​Just a minute before of me writing this review, I signed my contract for a job through Parity Consulting. The entire process from "getting to know you" call to the final interview with the company was just flawless and amazingly handled by the company. Special shout-out to Hima who has been nothing but the most supportive individual I have ever met in my job hunt. She made the entire process so streamlined and flawless and has answered all the queries I have had in the most time efficient manner. Thanks to Parity Consulting for helping me land a job in the field I desired.

​The Parity team have been so great to work with over the years as I’ve recruited various team members or searched for a job myself – Parity really is a stand out in the recruitment world! Having confidence that the people your team put forward are only ones who could be great for roles is priceless and they are just such a pleasure to deal with as well.

​Working with the Parity team, Vanessa and Ai, proved invaluable in hiring the right person for a strategic leadership role in our highly regulated space, and in a tight labour market. They met the brief perfectly, bringing excellent candidates with key skills and experience that are lovely culture additions as well. Thank you so much for making recruitment feel effortless.

​Eva and the Parity team were extremely efficient and supportive during the entire hiring process. I would not hesitate to recommend Eva to anyone looking for a new opportunity.

​I can only give nothing but praise my dealings were with Prue from Parity consulting. Post and pre recruitment process by Prue was very professional and when job searching it's great to have that extra care factor. From the initial meeting, which was thorough and concise and having a great understanding of the role, to ensure I was prepared for the interview and no surprises.
Prue went above and beyond during the onboarding process to ensure a smooth start of my new role and not to mention the first week, month and quarter check-ins. Thanks for all your help so far.

From the first point of contact, I was impressed with Edwina’s level of professionalism yet down to earth approach that allowed me to feel comfortable in utilising the services of Parity Consulting. Edwina has since continued to provide exceptional services and this includes using her adaptable approach in communicating with me, to keep me in the loop with the recruitment process - a challenging task as I was not always available for contact while working for my previous employer within that industry's busiest time of the year. Amazing efforts Edwina! Absolutely appreciate you supporting me through the recruitment process in it’s entirety, so thanks once again! If you are looking for a genuine recruitment team, I highly recommend turning to Parity Consulting for assistance.

​Hima was very professional and thorough. The helpful and detailed advice she gave me definitely contributed to my success in the interview process.

​I recently dealt with Victoria when she was assisting me with a role I was interested in. Victoria was professional, kind, supportive and kept me well informed during the process. Victoria genuinely has her clients’ and candidates’ best interests at heart and her openness and collaborative approach meant the process was seamless and timely.

​Great team of professionals who really know their market and clients. Agnes was an invaluable asset for me, able to find the right role to suit my international experience. I would highly recommend Parity to anyone looking for a new role or looking to recruit.

​Working with Vanessa and the team from Parity Consulting has been a great experience. They're proactive and quick to communicate updates, provide all the important information and detail up-front, and were always available to ask questions and follow up when necessary. I highly recommend them.

​I worked with Vanessa Lalani on Career Coaching and found she was a brilliant help. Professional, thorough and insightful, Vanessa worked through my career history to date, and helped work through frameworks to help shape what my "next" could look like, and more importantly, steps that I can take to reach my goals, helping better articulate my career vision. Thanks again, Vanessa!!!

​Working with Parity and Amanda in particular has made me re-believe in the value of recruiting. Amanda invested significant time upfront to understand and describe a complex role, and then presented me with shortlist of candidates - every single one who met the brief. She coached me through a complex and competitive client. A perfect recruitment.

​Amanda Glacken - I wanted to reach out to thank you for your support throughout my recent interview experience with Equifax. Throughout the entire process, you were incredibly diligent; ensuring that I was kept well across all advancements. Importantly, you provided clarity and context, which is so beneficial for candidates who are often faced with the inevitable uncertainties that come with role applications. 

Most importantly, you showcased a consistent and unrelenting consideration. I always felt a confidence that you had my best interests at heart. Additionally, I quickly grew confident that you would be representing me to Equifax in an aligned manner. I truly believe that this played a role in my successful application. 

So again, a big thank you for your efforts. It has been much appreciated. I think it’s important that feedback is shared within the business; especially for an outstanding performance such as this. I really look forward to continuing to work with you as I craft and adjust my new team over time.

​A professional but friendly recruitment agency who I've always found thorough and responsive in searching for marketing talent. Their breakfast thought leadership events are informative and a value-add to their service.

​Worked with Amanda at Parity when considering my next career move. She was fantastic, really focused on finding the right fit, and really used her great relationships with many great organisations to look far and wide. Would highly recommend them!

​I recently was lucky enough to be approached by Edwina from Parity Consulting in regards to a new position she was recruiting for. Edwina's high level of professionality was evident from all of our interactions. She was personable, helpful and her communication was amazing. She is by far the best recruiter I have ever worked with - ensuring that I was kept up to date and helping me to prepare for every stage of the process. She made me feel very comfortable in making this career transition. I'd like to thank Edwina and Parity for their help in securing my new role and for their expert guidance.

​It was awesome experience working with Suzan and Amanda. Highly recommend them, if you are looking for professional career development, as they can help you in the best way. They are with you as a candidate in every step of your recruitment process from CV justification/recommendation till signing the contract! And even after signing the contract with your employer, they will follow up the situation to make sure you are happy with situation. I highly recommend them.

​Victoria is an inspirational business leader and always goes the extra mile for her clients! She has a very open and honest communication style. I have found my interactions with her and the Parity team both professional and personal. Parity has established itself as a leader in the financial services product recruitment space and provides additional value by sharing research and conducting workshops. I recommend Victoria and Parity to both employers and candidates.

​I was successful in being placed into a new role, which Ai and the team at Parity brought to me. The opportunity was presented to me based on the Ai and the team taking the time to match the role against my experience, skills and future career aspirations. Ai was a pleasure to deal with and kept me updated on every step of the recruitment process.

​I wanted to say thank you for all the support and time you have given me, in assisting me with achieving my next career opportunity. I cannot speak highly enough of the current and former team members at Parity Consulting, who have always shown professionalism, empathy and guidance in working with me over the past year and a half. It has been a very rewarding experience.

​​At no point did I ever feel like I was dealing with a 'recruitment agency' who were simply looking to fill a role. Vanessa and Ai were delightful to deal with and I really felt supported as a candidate looking to make the right next career move for me. Thanks again Vanessa and Ai!

Agnes helped me to secure a job when the market got hit by the pandemic. She’s got profound connections in the industry and outstanding professional skills to help her candidates. A big thank you to you guys!

From a candidate perspective, the team at Parity were fantastic to work with. They were proactive in reaching out to suggest new roles and then when the ideal one came through, helped with salary negotiation and ensured the recruitment process went quickly and smoothly.

Would highly recommend Parity Consulting. Agnes in particular was amazing - professional, helpful, attentive and diligent. I was comfortable throughout the whole process that Agnes' goal was to find the right job-individual fit.

​Dealing with Vanessa at Parity has been a real pleasure. As well as being absolutely professional, she is warm and personable - I feel that she genuinely cares about putting people into positions that will suit them. As a company, Parity has great resources to help candidates prepare for the interview process. Together, Vanessa and Parity definitely helped me to put my best foot forward and secure a great role.

I have been collaborating very closely with Nick Veale at Parity Consulting for my next role in Payments, and he has been absolutely outstanding and supportive throughout the whole recruitment process! I have never met such a professional and dedicated recruitment person. I’d positively recommend Parity Consulting and Nick for anyone who would be seeking right opportunities in the market.

​Had a great end to end experience with Parity who placed me into a role that suited my skills, personality and remuneration expectations. Couldn't have been more happier with the outcome!

​Victoria and her team have done something special in the recruitment industry. I feel that there is a strong sense of purpose and caring in every interaction with them and I consider that any Product professional looking for a role or any organisation seeking such professionals would strongly benefit from using Parity. As an experienced Product Manager in the financial services industry - Parity have helped position me for rewarding roles during my career and also supplied some wonderful candidates when I have recruited. You would be hard-pressed to find a more professional yet personable recruiters in the product domain!

​Parity provide both a professional and friendly service. Vanessa was very supportive, provided regular/prompt updates and guidance in advance of interviews. I would highly recommend Parity to anyone looking for a new role and also any brands looking for new talent.

​Having dealt with Parity both as a client and candidate for many years, I have found Victoria and team invest heavily in developing and maintaining relationships within the industry. They are the experts on placing Product professionals from entry level through to senior management and I have always found Parity very easy to deal with, responsive and proactive.

​Working with Parity Consulting was a seamless experience. The genuine approach and commitment to ensure both the business and candidate are happy with the successful placement was a standout with Parity. A consultancy I would highly recommend.

​Agnes is a joy to work with, and always willing to help. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. Thanks Agnes!

​During the recruitment process for a role that I applied for and interviewed with the hiring company I found Amanda at Parity a pleasure to deal with. The process from start to finish was very professional and Amanda was very supportive throughout.

I’d highly recommend Parity and their wonderful team.

​Vanessa contacted me through LinkedIn because she was looking for a communications specialist with experience in producing disclosure communications. I was having a break from the workforce to care for a family member. She was very patient and understanding and found me a terrific role which suited my skills and experience and the kind of work that I was seeking.

 She has been a pleasure to work with and has been very responsive and upfront. I have had varying degrees of success with recruitment consultants in the past but Vanessa is very genuine and interested in matching candidates with the right role and culture. She would be the first person I would contact should I need recruitment services in the future.

​I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know what an awesome job Amanda Glacken did with a recent job application of mine. Although I didn't end up taking the job, Amanda was brilliant every step of the way, from prepping me for the interviews,
communication throughout and being positive and professional even after I had turned down the offer.  

If that's how she treats candidates, I can only imagine how well she is looking after your clients.

​I was recently made redundant for the first time in my career and was very anxious about getting a new role.  Amanda at Parity was amazing at helping me feel worthwhile and calm about getting a new job.  She made a real effort to understand my skills, motivation and what I was looking for.  She then worked tirelessly to find the right role for me , keeping me up to date with her progress.  Once she found me a role and secured an interview, she provided me with interview tools to ensure my success.  She kept me informed throughout the process and made the whole experience easy and stress free.  I would have no hesitation in recommending the team at Parity  as they care as much about the individual as they do the business they are recruiting for. 

I was recently fortunate enough to meet Amanda at Parity when I was looking for a new role.  She took the time to know me: my skills, motivation and what role I was looking for, then worked tirelessly to find me the right job.  Once she secured me an interview, she gave me some great interview tools to ensure my success.  She kept me informed throughout the hiring process and made the whole experience easy and stress free.  I have already recommended Parity to friends looking for roles.

​Victoria has been a great pleasure to work with. Being new in the Australian market while I was looking for an appropriate role to switch, It was very clear that Victoria goes the extra mile to ensure things are smooth not only while finding the best role for a job seeker but also after one has settled in on their new role and guide them through their career as well.

In spite of her tight schedule while leading Parity and running so many events & research, she does really take time off to contact her clients often to make sure things are going fine and help fix them if necessary.

She and her team are actively involved in the industry & market research, which provides valuable information to anyone looking to recruit or to be recruited.
I highly recommend Victoria and Parity consulting to candidates and employers for their expertise, experience and high standard of professionalism in what they do.

​Having been a candidate, I found Victoria to be extremely helpful in guiding me through the recruitment process. Her regular communication, expectation setting and honesty were refreshing. She helped advise me on a number of different factors relating to my particular situation around career development and salary expectations. I hope I have the pleasure of working with Victoria again in the future.

​Quick about me - last 3 years into Product management and worked with 50+ recruiters during my last 6 years in Australia :). Recently applied for a role with Parity Consulting and got a chance to work with 2 AWESOME recruiters in your team, Amanda and Ai. I was really impressed with their very friendly, positive attitude and very clear, honest communication with me.  They helped me throughout the interview process and guided me well. I think some credit goes to the leaders of the organisation as well for promoting a healthy and positive work culture. I was really impressed with the coordination between Amanda and Ai. Both of them are one the best recruiters I have worked with in the past 16 years.

I know the importance of healthy work culture in an organisation as I have recently experienced closing down of an organisation because of toxicity in the work environment. Would like to thank Amanda and Ai for all the help and would definitely recommend Parity Consulting to my company and to my network for any recruitment related work.

​As a recent candidate, I was extremely impressed with Victoria’s highly professional and authentic approach. Victoria has an exceptional knowledge of the market, a comprehensive understanding of her clients and takes time to gain a thorough understanding of her candidates. Victoria was very responsive and supportive throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Victoria and the team at Parity Consulting.

​Searching for new roles after 19 years in the one company was a daunting thought, but from my very first interactions with Alex and Victoria from Parity, I knew that this recruitment firm were serious about promoting the role of Product Managers and the skills that they can bring to companies.

They are advocates for those who have experience within the product management field and recognise ideal roles for candidates either in the form of a product management role, or other consultative/project roles in an organisation due to their depth of knowledge and interaction with stakeholders from right across the business. It is reassuring that there is a specialist firm and people within it, such as Alex and Victoria, who make it part of their role to understand the markets they operate in, actively undertake training and development of their internal staff and proactively create product and marketing courses for their candidates to continuously update their skills and knowledge to ensure they are top employable candidates – not just a number on the payroll.

​Victoria recently engaged me to be a keynote speaker for a client breakfast. The topic was 'Building a Mentally Resilient Workplace', a topic she was very passionate about. She and her team worked hard to make sure that the session would add the most value to her clients, by researching their most pressing issues. She also assembled a great expert panel which followed my presentation to ensure the right knowledge was in the room to answer the questions.

Testament to her research and her team's hard work, the breakfast was a sell out and had 130+ senior leaders attending. More importantly, the clients were enthusiastic in their praise post event, and rated it 4.8/5.0. It was a pleasure working with Victoria. She and her team care deeply about adding value to their clients. Highly recommended.

​Victoria has assisted me in the recruitment of a number of roles and each time she has considered the needs of the role carefully, gained an understanding of the culture and the right fit for the role, and as a result provided a high calibre of candidates each time. Her approach is to put forward quality (not just a focus on quantity), and as such she has always carried out appropriate screening ahead of time to ensure the recruitment process is as effective and efficient as possible. Highly recommend.

​Adam is a highly professional individual who understands the needs of the clients and candidates. Adam not only looks at finding candidates to fill position, he has a genuine care factor where he takes the time to understand the culture of the company and ensure you fit the mold. I really appreciate your honesty and assistance!

​Victoria takes a refreshingly personal approach to recruiting. She’s gone the extra mile to connect me with opportunities that align with my values and strengths. I recommend her 100%.

​I have had the pleasure of working with Victoria both as a candidate, and an employer. On both counts she has done a thorough job of understanding both the role and the candidate. Parity is my first choice agency for product management.

​Victoria is an exceptional recruitment professional and I recommend her and Parity highly. I always suggest my contacts to use Victoria if they are looking for a new role or if they are looking for quality recruits. I have found her to have a high level of integrity, she communicates well and she takes the time to fit the right person to the role.

​Victoria stands out from other recruiters by genuinely listening to the client’s brief and identifying quality candidates who not only fit the bill but have the cultural attributes to work successfully in the organisation.

I have had the pleasure of working with Victoria and the Parity team on both sides of the fence – as a candidate and again when I was recruiting. Victoria and her team have a very professional yet personal approach. They are very clear about time frames and expectations – I was never left wondering or having to follow up. The person I recruited through Parity was outstanding and the process was incredibly smooth. Cultural and team fit are very important to Victoria and it means that if she or the team send you a candidate, you know there is a strong chance they will fit right in. Victoria’s experience means she thinks outside the box and gives great insights about the market and how to achieve your recruiting goal. I highly recommend Victoria and the team at Parity.

Victoria is an extremely professional recruiter who goes above and beyond in her endeavours to find you the right job. I found Victoria to be very thorough and meticulous and someone who takes that extra bit of time to understand you, your needs and matches you with the right positions. I have no hesitation in recommending Victoria and her firm as a top tier recruitment organisation.
