Tracey Parker, Creative Recruitment Lead

Tracey Parker

My expertise lies in all areas of Creative & Design, Artwork & Production and Creative Services, and I work with clients and candidates within agency and in-house across the UK.

I have 18 years industry experience (12 years in marketing agencies, 6 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.

“The interview coaching we received from Beyond The Book was fantastic. Their tailored approach helped our hiring managers refine their techniques, ensuring we assess candidates more effectively. We’ve since made stronger, more confident hires that will fot longer term.”

“We used Beyond The Book’s internal hiring consultancy to refine our recruitment strategy. Their sense checks helped us optimise our processes and stand out in a crowded job market. Their expertise has been a game-changer for our hiring success.”

“Beyond The Book provided invaluable redundancy outplacement support for our team. The 1:1 coaching sessions gave employees confidence in their next steps, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. A professional, compassionate service that truly made a difference.”

“I have worked with Kaisa to provide freelance and contract resource at Beyond the Book on numerous occasions over the last 5 years. I find Kaisa friendly and always very quick to respond when I make contact. When discussing requirements Kaisa is thorough so she can match us with the right person. We have worked with some great freelancer/contractors during this time and have gone on to use most more than once.”

“I've been working with Michelle on various roles and always found her very easy to work with, professional, approachable and friendly. Michelle has put forward some excellent candidates for our consideration and supported our needs as a small charity, even when they have been challenging at times. I would definitely recommend Beyond the Book to others, on the basis of my relationship with Michelle, an excellent recruitment consultant.”
