About Hannah Buckton

I bring over six years of Talent Acquisition experience in both in-house and agency settings, supporting industries including consumer goods, financial services, fintech, textiles, and data analytics. Today I partner with leaders, including executives, at Purple to lead full-cycle recruiting across corporate, retail, wholesale, and manufacturing teams to guide hiring strategy and decisions, and align talent acquisition with business goals. I’m passionate about making hiring strategic and efficient, while remaining human, to help organizations attract and retain the right talent for success. I focus on assessing and improving recruiting processes, and collecting and leveraging data to drive decisions. My approach to recruiting centers on creating a positive and transparent candidate experience. By fostering an environment where candidates feel comfortable and hiring teams approach conversations with curiosity, I aim to enable more authentic interactions and ultimately stronger alignment between talent and organization.
