Our Story

Why We Started PurpleTree

We founded PurpleTree because we were frustrated with the outdated and generic HR support that was holding SMEs back.

We'd seen it firsthand in our corporate HR consulting roles - Businesses getting hit with WRC complaints and traditional HR services providers failing to address the changes in modern-day workplaces.

We knew there had to be a better way!

So, we created the technology-backed HR consultancy we'd want to work with ourselves - one that puts relationships over billable hours and forward-thinking, cutting-edge tech solutions over standard cookie cutter templates, many of which aren't fully compliant with Irish legislation.

We‘re not about churning out generic advice or clocking up billable hours. No, we're about understanding your unique situation, anticipating your challenges, and providing straightforward HR tech & support that just makes sense.

The PurpleTree Promise

With Purpletree, you're not just getting an account manager who delivers generic advice, no, you're getting a dedicated HR consultant who will provide tailored support and prepare your business for any HR hurdles to come.

We don't just send you a PDF and call it a day!

We roll up our sleeves and get to work, drafting contracts, conducting investigations, delivering risk assessments, and helping you implement our HR:Duo software to allow your team do more profitable activities.

We don't insist on long contracts either. Our monthly subscription packages are packed with valuable features & are available on rolling 12-month contracts. Simply pick your service level & we'll immediately start to support your team.

When you need us, we're only a phone call away. No waiting for days for advice or chasing down support staff. With PurpleTree, you get real-world expertise, tailored solutions, and support that's always available.

That's the PurpleTree difference!
