I've worked with Kathe and her team at Purple Squirrel for 6+ years. They truly stand out as an exceptional HR partner. The team combines deep industry knowledge with a personalized approach, ensuring that we always receive tailored solutions for our HR challenges. I have used Purple Squirrel for Talent Acquisition, (here in the US and internationally), executive coaching, employee relations, and benefits recommendations that drive employee satisfaction. Purple Squirrel even provided payroll processing assistance when we had gaps in our workforce. Purple Squirrel consistently provides professional, responsive services with a commitment to excellence. You will know that they always have your best interests at heart. If you are looking for an HR firm that understands the nuances of modern HR and goes above and beyond to deliver value, I highly recommend Purple Squirrel.
Kathe and Corinne were both extremely pleasant, professional, and timely throughout my recruitment process. I now have a job and compensation I never dreamed possible. I highly recommend their services and would use again if needed. Thank you both!
Kathe has been a critical part of our business for the last 3 years. She is relentless about sourcing a deep pool of applicants and helping us narrow it down to the critical few that meet our high bar for hiring. She has never been a "vendor" to us in any sense of the word and functions as a key member of my leadership team. We owe a lot of our success to her efforts in building an awesome team here at Avizia.
I have worked with Kathe at SmartThings since the company was founded and on-going through our acquisition by Samsung. In over 3 years of work, Kathe has been a vital team asset, providing a unique combination of tactical execution and strategic advice. Kathe is the ideal business partner if you need an individual who can: 1) Deliver end-to-end HR and business administrative processes and administration, including recruiting, hiring, on-boarding, payroll, benefits, reviews, insurance coordination, state administration, taxes and more. Kathe supported us from day 1 as a startup (literally setting up the first W2 employees) to > 100 employees within a larger organization. 2) Do the 'tough work' of administration late at nights and into the weekends without a complaint. 3) Effectively recruit across all major employee functions - engineering, design, support, executive, operations - and run a detailed process from screening and interview coordination through background checks and onboarding. 4) Be an executive confidant on new policies, new benefits and handling HR events across the life of employees. I would not hesitate to recommend Kathe for any looking to take their business forward with a trusted partner they can depend on.
Kathe and team are very professional and knowledgeable in all parts of human resources, from recruiting to payroll to day to day operational matters, they are the go to team for me. I hired Kathe and team in my last 2 startups, she and team have done an excellent job, and took away most of the day to day HR matters, allowing my own teams to focus with comfort on our own product and customers. I can highly recommend Kathe!
I highly recommend Kathe and the Purple Squirrel Team for their exceptional service during a critical transition period. From the start, their team was incredibly organized and efficient, ensuring every step of the process was well-planned and executed. They moved quickly but with great attention to detail, making sure nothing was overlooked. The transition was seamless, thanks to their proactive approach and thorough communication. Their expertise and commitment to making the transition as smooth as possible were evident at every stage. I’m extremely satisfied with the results and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.
Kathe has been a tremendous asset to our team. She works tirelessly to help coordinate our hiring and company benefits and has served as a trusted advisor and confidant in numerous situations to senior leadership. She's essentially the head of our HR, and in that capacity, she's helped us grow and mature far more quickly and effectively than if we'd continued to try to "wing it". She frequently comes up with new ideas to help us maintain an exciting and engaging company culture, and generally just does whatever it takes to get things done. Kathe's someone I really trust, and it's been a pleasure to work with her.
Working with Kathe was fantastic. She came into our growing company and was able to immediately implement clean processes and fresh, innovative options in a difficult climate. She is a consumante professional who really knows her craft and enjoys working with people on a personal level. I couldn't imagine an organization who wouldn't benefit from her presence.
