I would highly recommend the team in supporting your business in any HSEQ related roles you may have.

The SP team took a lot of time and effort to understand the needs of our business considering team dynamic as well as cultural and skills alignment. Given their vast geographical coverage, it was natural decision to get their support in the wider AsPac region which made things a lot easier as not having to deal with multiple different agencies. Their service was completely tailored to what we needed and at no point did any ask seem difficult. ​Their knowledge of the industry and HSE expertise meant the candidates put forward were of high caliber and likely to all be a sure fit. The SP team were incredibly easy to deal with, efficient in nature and understood the importance of just getting it done in the most efficient and successful manner.

​When our Development team reached out and asked for something different and new regarding H&S recruitment, I immediately thought of Shirley Parsons.

While relatively new to this part of the world, their finally tuned approach (based on many years of global H&S recruitment) meant that our Development leadership team was presented with a diverse and capable group of candidates within days of engaging. The interview process was managed smoothly and professionally, and I am pleased to say that within a matter of weeks, we found our person and filled a role that had proved very difficult to fill. I would have no hesitation in recommending Shirley Parsons to meet your recruitment needs”.
