The team

Best Employers was created by us, Pure, alongside psychometrics experts eras in 2012.

We also have several fantastic sponsors – without them we couldn’t run this amazing programme.
Here’s some more information about each of us.

The founders

We recruit across all levels – from short-term temporary cover to longer-term contracts and permanent recruitment. Pure Executive finds people for board-level appointments.

Founded in 2002 from a single office in Cambridge, we now have four offices across the eastern region in Cambridge, Norwich, Ipswich and Chelmsford. We also offer a range of initiatives designed to help people and businesses thrive.
