I appreciated our discussion and your frank and honest feedback on my CV. You were spot on in your assessment and your years of experience in your job clearly shone through. I have met many HR consultants from agencies over the years but I doubt I have met one as thorough or as professional.
Paula Newport, Head of HR, Aardman Animations
Purple House have always made a real effort to understand the Aardman business and to find us candidates who 'fit'. They ask all the right questions, take a really good brief & provide us with a quality shortlist we can work with. We are a very fast-paced business and we need recruitment turned around very quickly which Purple House have always done without compromising the quality of the candidates submitted. We enjoy working with them because they are honest, have taken time to understand how we like to work, have an up to date and detailed understand of the marketplace and above all, they deliver."

"I recently found myself looking for opportunities within the field of HR management. I contacted the team at Purple House Recruitment, knowing the professional level of service that had been provide to me in the past. The consultants were always knowledgeable of their Client and would provide me with clear Client information. Given the friendly and professional approach adopted by the consultants, it was always a pleasure to receive their call. Unlike other agencies, the consultants remained in regular contact and at all stages of the recruitment process.
It is now two months since I commenced my search and with the assistance of the team at Purple House Recruitment, I am delighted to have received and accepted an offer for the post of Regional HR Manager, for a national Company."
Andrew Wilson, Talent Manager - UK, Smiths Aerospace
"I have always found Purple House to be very responsive to our needs. Lindsey takes time to understand our requirements and the business culture before identifying candidates. Knowledge of the HR community in the South West region is excellent. Purple House are much more closely aligned the concept of consultancy than many other so-called recruitment consultants and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to work with a professional organisation that wants to operate as a partner rather than a supplier."
Karen Bates
"I have been very impressed with the service provided by Purple House. They are very professional, helpful and supportive throughout the application process. To ensure that you are the right match for the role you are applying for, they conduct a thorough telephone interview with you, before taking your application further, so they understand your background and experience and what you're really looking for!
They ensure that you are prepared for the interview by briefing you on the role, the Company and the people with whom you will be meeting. Ater the interview, you receive timely feedback and your phonecalls are always returned."
Dale Williams, Managing Partner, SA Partners
"As a values-led organisation, it was vital when we appointed our first Head of HR to choose the right Consultancy to help us source the right candidate. We chose Purple House and did not regret it. They got under the skin of our business, advised us how we'd attract the best people and worked to clear deadlines. The result was a strong shortlist, giving us some real choice and allowing us to select an excellent candidate who will make a real difference to our organisation."
Michelle Armitage
" Purple House are always my first port of call when I look for an interim assignment. I have got to know both Lindsay and Tom well over the past few years and trust them implicitly to work in my interest. They combine a high standard of professionalism with a personal touch and really take the care to match candidate and client. No other recruitment agency comes close for an approach that combines quality, service and integrity. "
Claire Chilton
"Purple House came recommended to me by a large outplacement organisation. My experience of working with Purple House has given me confidence with entering the job market. They took the time to get to know me as a person, as well as to understand my experience, knowledge and skills and what I was looking for in terms of next steps with my career.
Purple House have successfully placed me three times, with both permanent and interim roles. Through my experiences of working with them I am confident that they would only recommend me to a client if they were certain I was right for the position. They have demonstrated to me that they get to know their clients well, not only with the sector they work within and what their company is all about, but also with the type of candidate their clients are seeking and what experience is important to them."
