Company Description
Handshake in Heels – Recruiting & Talent Strategy is a boutique recruitment partner that helps growth-minded organizations attract, hire, and retain top performers through a proactive, strategy-first approach. Led by experienced recruiter Kirstin Purcell, the firm brings over a decade of hands-on recruiting and team-building expertise, hundreds of successful hires, and a focus on placing only the top tier of candidates, emphasizing long-term impact and retention. Rather than reacting when a vacancy becomes urgent, Handshake in Heels builds employer-of-choice positioning, clarifies role requirements, and designs scalable hiring systems so clients are prepared to engage the right people before the need is critical. Service offerings span direct hire placements for hard-to-fill, specialized, and confidential roles; contract-to-hire solutions that let employers assess fit before committing; and fractional or retained recruitment that keeps talent pipelines consistently full with curated shortlists delivered on a reliable cadence. The firm’s high-touch methodology blends targeted outreach to passive candidates with structured evaluation, interview guidance, and offer support, aligning every search to business objectives so the right people land in the right seats at the right time. Clients range from fast-growing startups to established practices, with notable strengths across elective healthcare and broader professional services, where clinical support, front-of-house, operations, sales, and leadership roles demand both technical capability and cultural fit. Through its Heels on the Ground insights hub, the company shares practical guidance on topics such as the complementary roles of agency recruiters and internal talent acquisition, how to harness AI in hiring while safeguarding fairness, and how retention strategies drive morale and performance. Client testimonials highlight improved quality and retention of frontline staff and a streamlined hiring experience. In every engagement, Handshake in Heels operates as a strategic extension of the business, bringing clarity, structure, and momentum to the full talent journey—Attract, Hire, Retain—so teams can scale with confidence and minimize the costly disruption of rushed hiring.
