Tracey Parker, Senior Consultant | Permanent Recruitment

Tracey Parker

My expertise lies in permanent recruitment in Creative & Design, Artwork & Production, Film & Motion and Creative Operations, and I work with clients and candidates within agency and in-house across the UK.

I have 22 years industry experience (12 years in marketing agencies, 10 years in creative recruitment)

I work on junior through to director level opportunities and with people who add value in their thinking and their craft. I also support undergrads kick start their career, through University, College and Birmingham Design Festival partnerships.

During my advertising years, I registered with BTB as a candidate and when they were looking to recruit from the industry, I put my hand up and I’ve not looked back. Every day I get to use my knowledge and experience from my agency days in helping me understand the needs of my clients and candidates. I understand the importance of great working culture, and I love helping people find a new role they are genuinely excited about and that truly helps their career.

“Tracey recently helped me secure a new job within the industry. She was committed to understanding the skills and experience I had, and her friendly, knowledgeable, supportive guidance played a pivotal role in my success. A lovely team that I would highly recommend.”

“I have had nothing but positive experiences of working with BTB, both as a candidate and as a recruiter. I worked with Tracey on both occasions, and she was an absolute joy: professional, helpful, supportive and really understood what I needed from the recruitment process. She placed me in my current role 15 months ago, and I am loving it. And our latest recruit has exceeded all our expectations. I can’t recommend BTB enough!”

“Tracey is one of the rare breeds of recruiters who gets both sides. She has worked in good ad agencies herself and collaborated with great Creatives, so she has a really good understanding of creative skills and culture fit. She understands recruitment needs immediately and always goes above and beyond for her clients. She doesn't just fill holes as a lot of recruiters do; she matches the right candidate to the right role both in terms of aptitude and attitude. I've taken on two Creatives through Tracey, and both have turned out to be excellent hires.”

“BTB don't just look at the job vacancy but take the time to get to know you and your business so that they can gauge who is going to fit with your culture, team and business.”

“We love working with BTB, they are always really helpful and have placed many brilliant people with us over the years. Definitely one of the best industry recruiters in the UK.”
