Pluspunten
Management provides access to a lot of sourcing tools, and they are willing to walk away from bad clients, at times. Sales is generally pretty thorough about vetting jobs. They do frequent training as well.
Minpunten
The environment could be chaotic at times, processes were changed too frequently and roles shifted around which made it difficult to get into a rhythm.

I worked as a contractor for Michael Dash and the team at Parallel between Q2 2016 and Q4 2017. During that time, I found them to be prompt, detailed, and kind. Though my day-to-day interactions were generally limited, when I did run into a specific clerical error (on my part), the team was incredibly helpful and gracious. When I converted to full time, senior position with the client account, the transition was made incredibly easy. What more can one ask of a contracting agency? I would extend my genuine appreciation for the straightforward manner by which our relationship was handled during that time. It was just a real pleasure working with Michael and the staff at Parallel - I would be very happy to be represented by them again in the future.

Recently I resigned my position as a recruiter with Parallel HR due to the loss of a love one and realizing I needed to put “me” first in all areas of my life! 2015 has been a difficult year for me personally; but what really mattered was the support I received from upper management, down to the newest recruiter. I will always Love the people I worked with at Parallel HR, from CEO-Michael Dash, my Manager-David Derby and HR-Brittany Davies along with everyone else. We all know when searching for a job it’s tempting to look at online reviews right away and while glowing reviews may encourage you to look closer at a company, bad ones can hinder your interest, but please maintain perspective and keep in mind that an unsatisfied employee is more likely to actively look for a place to vent his frustrations about his company than a happy employee looking to sing its praises. For that reason, I recommend you hold off on reading reviews until you interview. Once you interview, your overall opinion of the company should come from your interaction with those you meet with and your enthusiasm for the position.
