Purple Squirrel, a new Recruitment Consultancy that was founded by Engineers to serve the niche hiring needs of engineering, technical and industrial sectors, today announces launch of it’s new website.

“The website now provides Jobseekers, Employers and Contractors with online access to our range of recruitment services, says Yvonne Paige, Proprietor and Recruitment Director”.

A former successful Engineering, Programme and Business Development Manager, she has previously held high visibility posts in some of the world’s largest corporations. “After I had my family I just wasn’t satisfied with the level of roles accessible to me. Like many people I have always privately wanted to start my own business. Recruitment is an ideal way for me to use my industry experience to the benefit of my former peers and colleagues, 95% of companies struggle to find candidates for their job vacancies. The UK credit crunch is making that situation worse as people are fearful about their ability to sell and relocate for a new job and yet many potential candidates are struggling with fuel prices and long commutes.

I am always being asked why on earth I picked the name ‘Purple Squirrel’. Well all industries have jargon, recruitment is no different. I learned that a Purple Squirrel was the recruiter’s term for an elusive candidate with the exact qualifications to match the client role. I immediately liked the fact that it was different, memorable and a name I could build a brand around.

Purple Squirrel is definately a career choice and I am hugely optimistic and positive about the future.”
