Recruitment That’s Outcome-Focused, Not Just Task-Based
Hiring the right person starts with clarity. That’s why we create outcome-based role profiles instead of vague job descriptions — focusing on what success looks like in the role and what kind of person will thrive in your team.

We work closely with you to make hiring feel less reactive and more strategic — no pushy sales tactics, no rinse-and-repeat placements, just quality service for reasonable fees.
OUR PROCESS
How we do things
Our Team
We Work With Ambitious Sydney Brands
Our clients are often entrepreneurs, founder-led or operations-driven businesses scaling fast across Sydney. Many don’t have an internal People & Culture team yet — and that’s where we step in.
They choose Purple Playground because they’re looking for more than just a transactional recruiter. They want the best recruitment consultant in Sydney — someone who understands business, culture, and people, and can bring it all together.
We don’t just help you fill roles — we help you build teams that thrive.
Virtual Recruitment, Real Connection
Our virtual model means you get flexible, responsive, and cost-effective recruitment support — without sacrificing personal connection.
Whether you’re hiring for a new role in the Sydney CBD, growing a team in Chatswood, or replacing someone in Sydney’s Inner West, we provide hands-on support every step of the way.
Our Impact

Don't just take our word for it
Everything you want to know
Our experienced recruitment team have a diverse recruiting background and are always keen to tackle new roles. However, we have bucket-loads of experience in professional, technical and sales-focused roles, as that’s what we’re most passionate about!
It’s not the size that matters…it’s who you need that counts. Any size, any Aussie location. When we go searching for your next team member, we believe in finding you the ideal blend of knowledge, experience and cultural fit.
We’ve made it simple to budget for your recruitment needs and depending on your needs we can either quote a percentage fee upon placement or a fixed fee and payment plans can be arranged upon request.
- We sure can. This is our preferred way of working and part of our standard process, we don’t charge an additional fee for head hunting, our aim to find you the perfect candidate and we leave no stone unturned in our quest!
We don’t just find you great candidates, we actually really care about them succeeding in their new role. We keep in contact with them throughout their onboarding phase and if either party believes they’re not a perfect match, we encourage you to reach out to us for support. This is where our HR team can also give you guidance on how to help them succeed and ensure you meet your Fair Work obligations before letting them go.
