What we do

While there are many companies out there offering what seems like exactly the same recruitment service, there are a number of things that make Park Lane Recruitment different.
Our clients come in two forms - (1) a Company seeking new staff and (2) a Candidate seeking a new role
We recognise that not every client is the same - and neither are their recruitment needs - therefore we spend time with you to offer flexible, tailor-made packages to give you a solution you feel comfortable with.
Our staff are just as important as our clients, therefore we enable our recruiters to achieve the ultimate work/life balance. Our recruitment consultants have access to the latest cloud-based recruitment technology, so they can work from anywhere. They effectively set their own hours to suit when their clients need them to be available. Our team is made up exclusively of specialist recruitment consultants who have solid industry experience, many with niche focuses that make matching the best candidates to the best positions second nature.
We are small - but perfectly formed! Because of our size, every piece of work we take on matters to us and you will always be dealing with the same people who you get to know as an extension of your own business - or as your personal career coach.
We actively encourage all clients to come to our offices, on the outskirts of Wilmslow, to meet the team, to enjoy a nice coffee or lunch in our onsite restaurant, again as part of our efforts to get to know you better.
Finally, we work on an exclusive basis with the majority of our clients as they find (sometimes over time) that they do not need anyone else. Could you be our next client (be that Company or Candidate)?
