PERMANENTRECRUITMENT
Most companies in the markets we recruit in are
competing for the same shrinking pool of experienced
hires and future talent.
Hiring a permanent member of staff is a big
commitment. The financial and organisational cost of
getting it wrong can be significant.
With Bright Purple on your side, we will ensure you can
win The War for Talent.
Bright Purple can:
• Help you define your job opportunity by
needs analysis
• Identify the most relevant skill sets to meet
your business needs
• Benchmark salaries and package
• Write an attractive and accurate job and
person specification
• Target your competitors to secure the best hires
• Help you have a clear vision of what ‘Talent’
looks like
• Work with you to manage the end-to-end
process, ensuring a successful and timely hire
When McKinsey published ‘The War for Talent’ in 1997, they were describing a long
term trend; one that modern, knowledge-based economies are still coming to terms
with today, even in tough economic times.

Purple has access to a wide network of potential hires,
built over 20 years. We are also experts in recruitment
advertising and social media channels. We do all of this

9. When you have a business-critical hire to make, you can’t leave anything to chance.
Instructing multiple agencies may seem like a good idea, but it usually isn’t.
You need a carefully targeted, strategic and well-
managed solution to find the right person with the
right skills and attributes, whilst protecting your firm’s
reputation and confidentiality.
A retained mandate is most effective and appropriate
in a talent-short world when recruiting at operational or
main board-level, or for a specific skillset that is essential
to your business’ plans. We will work with you to make a
plan and execute it.
Our fee structure for retained work is flexible and
budget friendly. We never forget we both have a
financial and reputational stake in the mandate and we
will deliver. Our senior team at Bright Purple have a 100%
completion rate for retained work.

By supporting our Contractors, we allow them to focus
on delivering to you and your business, ensuring high
levels of satisfaction and value for money.
We only work with tried and tested Contractors who
have successfully passed Pre-employment Screening.
No exceptions.

Interim hires tend to be senior individuals who are at the top of their game;
often portfolio workers in a consultative capacity.
We have the gravitas, networks and know-how to deliver results, usually at fairer fee levels than traditional search or
interim recruiters.
Clients often turn to Interims to ensure business continuity, in crisis management, during a take-over or divestment,
for leadership in specific Programmes & Projects or when the business needs a specific or specialised knowledge
base that is not available in-house.

other stakeholders to help you win ‘The War for Talent’.
Having a ‘Work for Us’ page on your website with a
shopping list of vacancies is pretty dull. Most of your
competitors do this. It’s forgettable. It’s just another
page of text lost in cyberspace. There’s no call to action.
In a world where highly-skilled technical specialists are at
a premium and are in short supply, we can help you build
and enhance your brand to become an employer of
choice for talented people. We can ensure you beat your
competitors to the best hires by creating an attractive
value proposition.
With our in-house know-how and our network of subject
matter experts and specialists, we can project manage -
• Talent Pools – building pools of relevant, highly-
skilled talent for your business: by geography, by
profession and by skillset or technology vertical
• Corporate Storytelling – storyboarding what it is
like to work at your firm using video, LinkedIn, Social
Media, animation and why an exceptional person
should join you
• Microsites – building attractive and sticky websites
specifically focussed at attracting the interest of skilled
workers. These can be campaign-specific or generic
• Social Media – leveraging Social Media for
recruitment and attraction to build a flow of relevant
and interested potential hires

Running and managing a payroll service is time intensive.
You may have employees working in the UK or direct-hire contractors that would be a burden on your existing
payroll run. We can help by providing a highly professional, accurate and compliant outsource service. The reduce

PRE-EMPLOYMENTSCREENING
PAYROLL SERVICES
MENU
In a business world that is risk aware and risk averse, it is crucial you
know exactly who you have hired.
A rogue employee can destroy a client relationship,
leave an employer open to litigation from other
employees and can even destroy a reputation or an
entire business.
You can mitigate risk by thoroughly background
checking everyone you hire. You are credible to internal
and external stakeholders if you can show you have
done everything that is reasonable to ensure your new
hire is who he says he is, that he is of good character, is
trustworthy, has the right to work in the European Union
and has the academic and professional qualifications he
says he has. In positions of fiduciary responsibility and
trust, you may wish to credit reference new hires.
Some industries demand mandatory pre-employment
screening, whilst other employers will screen employees
as best practice or for their own peace of mind.
Whatever your requirement, we can conduct expert
screenings in a timely and compliant manner.
