About us

Hiring the people who have done it before

Parker B Associates helps organisations build Software, Data and AI capability through exceptional talent. We connect businesses with professionals who have already delivered the transformation they're investing in.

Our purpose

Creating impact beyond hiring

Every successful placement helps fund therapy for children and young people. It is built into how the business works rather than bolted on at the end of the year — the more teams we help build, the more support we can fund.

It also shapes how we work day to day. We would rather turn down a search than place someone into a role that will not last, because a sustainable match is what creates value for everyone involved.

Building exceptional teams. Creating lasting impact.

CertX — CEO Appointment

It was impressive how quickly, professionally and in a completely unbureaucratic way he pulled several candidates out of the hat. As a result, one of them has now taken on this role.
