McCarthy Recruitment were instrumental in sourcing high calibre candidates for some of the store openings whilst I was at Pure as well as undertaking general ad hoc recruitment in Head office and Store and Area Management for us.

When looking for a provider there was plenty of choice available, however, we chose McCarthy as not only was their ‘Runner’ (new store opening) package extremely cost-effective but additionally, their knowledge of the Retail market and ability to access high calibre candidates is unparalleled. In addition, we also used McCarthy to assist with the rewriting of our assessment material and used them for a number of consultancy projects, for example, Kate trained our Store Management Team on competency interviewing which really demonstrated McCarthy’s commitment to our overall working partnership.

As a business, we were very specific about our brand and the staff we take on to represent the Pure Collection ranges in-store, as such our providers need to adhere to very specific standards. McCarthy took time to truly understand what we were looking from in both skills, experience, and behaviours and sent us candidates over who were bought into our business and well suited to our brand. McCarthy delivered our store openings promptly, effectively, and professionally.

I felt we got a first-class service at an extremely competitive rate and would not hesitate to recommend them as a recruitment partner.
