“Purple Squirrel is a recruiter’s term for that elusive candidate with exactly the right qualifications and experience to match the client’s needs. The term is synonymous with the term “ideal candidate.”
The Purple Squirrel
The Purple Squirrel may seem to be a mythical creature, but you’ll know one when you see it. This is the person that others look to for inspiration and leadership. He or she is the problem solver. Better yet, this is the one person who can prevent problems from happening.
A Purple Squirrel is a new employee who will blend seamlessly into your culture, come up to speed quickly, and stick with you for the long haul. These are the employees who will make your business thrive. If only it were easy to pick a Purple Squirrel from stacks of resumes! But the true Purple Squirrel is difficult to capture.
Our approach is detailed and methodical, but flexible and personalized. We’ll find a Purple Squirrel specific to your habitat, someone who both blends in and stands out, and who will become a key player in the future growth and success of your company.

About 8 months after leaving General Tools, when it was time to make my next career move, I reached out to Michael at the Hiring Solutions Group to assist me in my search. Michael was there for me through every step of the process. He understood my specialized skillset and took the time to learn what I was looking for in my next position. We reviewed my strengths and he provided coaching in areas I was looking to improve upon. He actively called on several companies, setting up both over-the-phone and in-person interviews for me. He came on one of the interviews, as well, which was very helpful. Michael helped me establish my brand, fix my website, and review contracts; in short, Michael was a great support to me, which made all the difference in my job search. I highly recommend him.
