Castlefield Recruitment / Dominic Parkinson

"Delighted to recommend Castlefield recruitment. We have used them for over 3 years and they have placed exceptional candidates into the required roles. We have given them very specific briefs of candidates and they have always come back quickly with good options for us."

Category Manager - NHS Supply Chain

"I have come to Dominic and Castlefield directly with a couple of urgent interim vacancies for my procurement team and each time he has delivered a great candidate, both of whom have since been taken onto our books. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to other NHS organisations in need of temporary support. If there is a candidate out there that meets the spec, he will be sure to find them."

Head of Procurement - NHS Trust

“Since the start of the year, we have exclusively engaged Dominic and Castlefield Recruitment as our recruitment business partner. I would happily recommend Dominic and Castlefield Recruitment as they have always delivered high quality candidates at a fair price, further showcasing their continued efforts in providing value for money to the Public Sector.”

Deputy Head of Procurement - NHS Trust

"Dominic has placed procurement staff within our team on temporary, fixed-term and permanent contracts. He clearly has a great understanding of the procurement market and our organisation, meaning the candidates we have taken on have fit well with our company values and have not solely come from similar Local Authority backgrounds. We are very keen to continue growing our working relationship with Dominic and Castlefield and would recommend other organisations do the same.”

Head of Procurement - Local Government

“Our first experience with Dominic and Castlefield Recruitment has been very good and we would happily recommend them to Local Authorities and non-profit organisations in need of interim support. Following an in-depth briefing, Castlefield managed to provide us with a selection of candidates, all with great OJEU experience. We selected two candidates for interview, both of whom were employable, and the successful candidate was able to start straight away.”

Procurement Manager - Local Government

“I would recommend Dominic and Castlefield to other organisations who are looking to recruit. They offer a fantastic overall process which does not stop once an offer has been made. They make sure candidates are guided through what can sometimes be quite a long onboarding process and are consistently in contact to see how their candidates are getting on.”

Head of Procurement - Central Government

“Having struggled to fill the role directly, we came to Dominic to recruit our Procurement Manager position and we were very pleased with the process. With a branded advert and a Linkedin marketing campaign to support, Dominic’s flexibility and ability to think outside the box provided us with candidates who would not have been available to us via other means. I would be happy to recommend Dominic and Castlefield to other organisations in need of procurement staff.”

Director of Business Transformation - Housing Association

“I have worked with Dominic for a number of years as both a client and a candidate and have always found his approach refreshing. On a personal level he has secured me senior interim positions, and in a client capacity has worked with me to build new permanent teams and placed interims to assist in delivering large scale transformation projects. I would have no hesitation in recommending Castlefield to candidates and clients alike and will definitely look to use him again in the future.”

Head of Procurement - Housing Association

"We committed to Castlefield giving them an opportunity should it arise and since then we have engaged them to lead on several positions including two senior leadership roles. Dominic has been excellent, providing a highly efficient service, with concise, diverse and relevant shortlists which has always resulted in very strong candidates. We would have no hesitation in recommending Castlefield as a business partner for Permanent, Interim or Fixed Term recruitment.”

Chief Executive - Housing Association

"Dominic was highly methodical and consultative, providing a diverse and detailed shortlist with expert knowledge on each candidate, from which we appointed all roles first time round. He added huge value with a well-controlled aftercare service and smooth onboarding process which resulted in a 100% offer to acceptance rate."

Deputy Director - NHS

"After a reorganisation in our procurement team, we were in urgent need of further resource to support on a number of projects. We were then introduced to Dominic and Castlefield who provided us with solutions for perm, fixed-term and temporary procurement staff. We elected to go down the temporary route and the placement has been a great success, with us taking on a further temporary member of staff since. We would be more than happy to work with Castlefield and Dominic again and we would recommend them to other Housing Associations in need of support."
