Parker B

Parker B Associates, founded by Ben Parker, is an executive search and technology hiring firm specialising in software, data and artificial intelligence capability building. The company helps organisations hire people who have already delivered the transformation they are building, with services spanning executive search for business-critical appointments, permanent hiring for long-term impact and contract solutions for transformation programmes.

Parker B's approach is built around evidence rather than keywords, with a five-stage hiring process spanning discovery, search and market mapping, candidate assessment including technical due diligence, interview and offer management, and onboarding support. The company delivers interview-ready shortlists within seven days and typical hiring cycles of four to six weeks.

Specialisations include delivering AI from proof of concept to production, modernising data platforms, scaling engineering teams and appointing technology leaders. Parker B is trusted by major organisations including Munich Re, Starr Insurance and WTW. The company's founder hosts the Data Analytics Chat podcast with 20,000+ downloads and 50+ technology leaders interviewed. Every successful placement supports therapy funding for children and young people.
