We are Parallel
Some recruitment consultants work on autopilot – simply running through the paces. We’re different.
Nice to meet you
Parallel was founded in 2004 because we thought that a personal, bespoke approach to the IT job model was essential to the market. What makes us different? We are your recruitment champions in the battle for talent and jobs. We make sure to look at the big picture of your staffing needs, thinking about not only finding you someone with the perfect skills, but someone with the right personality for your company and team.
At Parallel, we are all different. Our consultants come from all over the world - speaking multiple languages and stemming from a huge range of cultures, religions, social backgrounds, ethnicities and world views. Our diversity in personalities and knowledge throughout all three of offices puts our consultants in the best position to be your talent champions throughout Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Our aim is simple: to use our unique & innovative skillset to offer professionals and businesses customised talent solutions, whatever the challenge.
