Assessment Services

• Have you lost candidates during the recruitment process?
• Do you wonder what message you’re giving candidates who don’t get offered roles?
• Have you recruited the wrong people?

Purple House works with specialists who can support you in not only improving the candidate journey but also in creating relevant and rigorous assessment programmes. Our Assessment Specialists provide a consultative approach to gain a deep understanding of your company by carrying out a thorough job analysis to ensure that the role outline clearly represents the current skills your company requires.

Our Assessment Specialists use a variety of different exercises such as interviews, psychometric testing, presentations, case studies and role-play exercises. This creates a process where skills can be measured in an objective and consistent manner to determine the best candidate for the role, whilst providing a superb candidate journey.

Recruitment Health Check

• Are you spending too much on recruitment?
• Can’t attract the right calibre staff?
• New joiners not working out?
• Getting ready to expand your workforce?

The shift from administrative recruitment to strategic, reactive to proactive, has created a talent acquisition capability gap. Purple House is currently working with a specialist organisation which impartially assesses your recruitment strategy & activities to identify how your recruitment function compares to best-practice.

Our associate will undertake a discrete audit of your current recruitment activities. This includes a report identifying the current strengths & weaknesses of your recruitment model. Followed by a next-steps development plan, detailing recommendations to improve recruitment performance across the organisation. Then create a methodology & toolkit to help you design your own improvement strategies. They will work with you to design practical, effective Recruitment Transformation strategies and recruitment solutions aimed at reducing recruitment costs and improving the calibre of new recruits.

Operational Day-to-Day ER Support

• No internal HR Team?

You may need help on a challenging one-off situation or just some support a couple of days a month? Purple House is happy to be working with a number of small consultancies and independents who provide practical support and advice to SMEs across the South West.
