Purple House are able to provide a wide range of recruitment methodologies
and services to our clients in order to identify and secure the best candidates
for our clients. The most appropriate methodology for a position will
depend on a range of factors including the organisation and its culture,
the level and complexity of the role as well as current market conditions.
We advise on the method most likely to ensure the best outcome in the
most cost effective way and find that often, a combination of methodologies
gets the best results. For example, we have often secured our clients’
ideal candidate by combining advertising with a database search, or advertising
with an executive search.
Advertised Selection
Often used where an individual could be drawn from a range of sectors
or functional areas, where the client wishes to raise their profile in
the HR market or where the best candidate(s) is unlikely to be on a database.
Working with our award winning advertising agency, we advise on the best
media (trade press, local, national or international press) as well as
providing a design service and copy writing services to attract the highest
quality candidates.
Executive Search
Used most frequently where there is a clear target market, skill, industry
background or level needed for the role and where advertising is unlikely
to attract the best response. We have an extensive network of HR professionals
built up over several years and this knowledge, combined with our research
capability enables us to target organisations and the individuals within
those most likely to have the skills and experience to meet your criteria.
Search & Selection
This combines the Advertised Selection and Executive Search methods outlined
above to find the calibre of candidate needed.
Contingency/Database Search
We have a strong candidate database, built up over several years of operating
in the HR Recruitment market which is highly searchable and from which
we can quite quickly identify individuals with key skills and attributes.
