The UK job market in 2025 presents a unique opportunity for employers. According to the KPMG and REC UK Report on Jobs for April 2025, total labour supply has increased at the sharpest pace since December 2020, giving businesses access to a broader talent pool than they've seen in years. However, candidates are being more selective, prioritising job satisfaction as well as higher pay, which means organisations need to be more strategic about how they attract, assess, and retain talent.

To succeed in this environment, organisations need more than traditional recruitment support – they need strategic partnership that helps them navigate the abundance of choice whilst positioning themselves as employers of choice. Pure Partnerships deliver exactly this through four key strands designed to help you navigate current market conditions whilst building a competitive advantage.

Strategic Account Management

In today's market where hiring decisions are critical, every role really does count.  A Pure Partnership provides you with a dedicated Account Manager who partners with you to truly understand your organisation's culture, vision, and future recruitment plans.  Someone who can see the bigger picture for each hire.

Candidate Attraction 

Whilst there are more candidates available, those more passive job seekers are often the ones that are harder to reach and the ones that you really want.  With the best candidates looking for employers who can offer genuine career progression and compelling company cultures, we create a bespoke branded microsite specifically designed to promote your vacancies and showcase what makes your organisation special.

These compelling digital experiences tell your story and attract candidates who genuinely connect with your mission. We also support this with branded LinkedIn campaigns and targeted mailshot campaigns that help you stand out from the competition.

Assessment and Qualification

Ensuring your recruitment processes are robust has never been more important.  We can provide you with comprehensive assessment tools including online skills testing, bespoke competency interview frameworks, and two free Quest personality profiling reports per role (normally £100 each), plus expert consultant guidance to interpret the results.

These tools help you identify candidates who'll thrive in your team dynamic and make confident hiring decisions.

Development Programmes

Our partnership extends beyond recruitment, with early access to development programmes including discounted places on our flagship Women's Leadership Programme and participation in Best Employers Eastern Region initiatives.

We provide insights, tools, and knowledge that help shape the kind of workplace that increases engagement.

Your partnership, your way

Every Pure Partnership is completely customisable. This flexibility allows you to focus on the specific areas where you need the most support.  Plus, you'll receive regular KPI reporting and bespoke management information including time-to-hire and interview-to-offer ratios.
