The
Purple Squirrel
But what is a
Purple Squirrel???
In executive recruiting, the industry term purple squirrel depicts the quintessential candidate, with the ultimate training, qualifications, experience, timing, and mindset, an exemplary match for the organization’s needs. The purple squirrel hits the ground running on the tasks of the role, without needing the customary training, support, or standard oversight.
A Purple Squirrel is that rare professional who can do the job, fix the mess, explain the plan, juggle the balls, lead the team, and keep everything moving…all at the same time.
They’re the “unicorn” of the workplace, but with practical skills instead of magic.
The concept infers that this ideal, impeccable Job Candidate, Consultant, Employee, or Leader is as rare…as a…Purple Squirrel.
