About Pure
We are the professional recruitment company for the east of England, specialising in accountancy, human resources, technology, marketing, professional office, supply chain and engineering roles. We recruit across all levels from short-term temporary cover to longer-term contracts and permanent recruitment. Pure Executive is dedicated to board-level appointments.
Our specialist sector knowledge is the reason why companies choose to work with us and our consultants have in-depth experience and recruitment market knowledge of your specific professional sector. They are experts in their different disciplines and invest time developing and maintaining a strong network of contacts. This dedicated focus connects us to the best people and enables us to source high-quality and ‘hard to find’ candidates for our clients.
From four offices located across the Eastern region, we have a comprehensive understanding of local employment trends as well as within our specialist sectors. Our reach, networks and insights extend beyond this and we have a strong track record of attracting talent from outside the region.
We don’t just find high-calibre candidates, we also support organisations through induction, development and beyond. Most importantly, we work with you to recruit the right people and to support them at every stage of their career.
